Robson De Aguiar has been in good form on the Polytrack in Dundalk, and has an intriguing entry in the Nua Healthcare Irish Lincolnshire on the opening day of the Flat season at the Curragh on Sunday in 101-rated Tuscan Hills.

During his career in Britain, Tuscan Hills won at Listed level in Pontefract for Raphael Freire and also finished unplaced in last season's Epsom Derby. He has yet to contest a handicap.

He would be making his stable debut for De Aguiar who said: "We worked him the other day in the Curragh and he worked well.

"He's kind of a mile and a-quarter (horse) - we'll see close to the race, in his final work, if he goes to the Irish Lincoln or we plan another race for him.

"We would like a race to get his confidence back."
