No Testosterone at the Curragh

Testosterone will spend a little time on the sidelines after connections opted not to take up an assignment in Ireland this weekend.

The Ed Dunlop-trained mare had been entered in the Curragh Cup on Sunday, but recent performances have been a shade dispiriting.

Despite having won a Listed race at Nottingham on her comeback, Testosterone has twice disappointed in Group Three company in France and at Cork.

Tony Fry, racing manager for owner Nurlan Bizakov, said: "She's going to have a little rest and will be back in action later in the season.

"Her last two starts she has done the same thing - travelled well but not picked up in the last couple of furlongs. A break will hopefully do her a lot of good."
