FormscanBy Alan Magee - BENVENUTO CELLINI made a pleasing start when runner-up to odds-on stablemate Dorset over 7f at the Curragh on Irish Derby weekend. The son of Frankel certainly wasn’t friendless in the market on that occasion and can be expected to build on that promising debut. Ipanema Beach has kept good company on all three outings in maidens won by smart Ballydoyle colts and should appreciate this step up in trip. Riding arrangements suggest Limestone, a half-brother to Irish Derby runner-up Lone Eagle, is preferred of Joseph O’Brien’s pair while Paddy Twomey introduces Bond who cost 220,000 guineas at the Craven Breeze-Up Sale.
