Formscan By Gary Carson - Aidan O’Brien retains faith in BENVENUTO CELLINI and he can leave behind a disappointing, and controversial, ‘non-run’ at Epsom. The Frankel colt had his leg up on the shelf as the stalls opened and after missing the kick finished well beaten in tenth. The soft ground that day may not have been ideal either and on better going now the impressive Chester Vase winner can show his true colours. Derby winner Christmas Day looks a real out-and-out galloper and stamina is his forte. He could play a big role again while Epsom third James J Braddock also has to be respected. Raaheeb is the unknown quantity in the race and a potential improver, trying this trip for the first time.
For three years old colts and fillies onlyWeights - 9st 2lbs. Fillies allowed 3lbs.

Quotes on Shaihaan (IRE)
He's a beautiful big horse. He had good form last year and he developed well this year. It’s nice to get a win into him. Going up in trip, I think, suits him. Obviously he’s by Night Of Thunder, so I don’t know how far they stay in general, but he’s out of a Sea The Stars mares so there is plenty of stamina on that side. We’ll maybe look at the Derby Trial in Leopardstown, and then maybe the Irish Derby if that went well. That would be plan A anyway. . You can see the size of him, he was never going to be an Epsom horse. If he was that class, you could see him pitch up here, but we’ll see.After Shaihaan (IRE) finished 1st at Curragh on Sat, 28th Mar 2026 1m 2f Flat Maiden Soft to Heavy
