Juddmonte Irish Oaks weekend at the Curragh continues to take shape, and the July 19th and 20th fare has many trainers eyeing up the big prizes on offer.

Given his proximity to 'the home of the Classics' it's not surprising that handler Danny Murphy is readying something for what ought to be a fantastic two days of action.

"I'm praying for rain, he loves soft ground that horse," said Murphy on Erosandpsyche.

"He's improving, he didn't get the six (furlongs) the last day (Curragh).

"We'll stick to five (furlongs), he'll run in the Sapphire (the Barberstown Castle-sponsored Group Two next Saturday) because he is in great old form."

He also has an entry in the Flying Five in September.
