O'Neill Eyeing Tyros Bid

Ellmau is set to represent Eoghan O'Neill in the Group Three Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday evening.

County Kildare-born O'Neill, who is now based in Nottinghamshire, also has Spinning Sound engaged, but Ellmau is expected to take his chance.

The Dr Fong colt started his career by winning at Southwell but produced a sterling effort last time to finish third, just two lengths behind Hatta Fort in the Group Two Superlative Stakes at the Newmarket July Festival.

'I was pleased with Ellmau at Newmarket and he will run either in Ireland or the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood but I'd say the Irish race is much more likely,' reported the trainer.
