News and preview: Trinity College, who earned comparisons with his illustrious sire Giants Causeway when winning on his debut at Cork two weeks ago, is set to try to boost his reputation further at the Curragh on Saturday.

The colt is one of seven Aidan O'Brien-trained entries for the Group Two Galileo Futurity, which has also attracted the unbeaten, Jim Bolger-trained Teofilo and the Mark Johnston-trained pair, Champery and Drumfire.

Trinity College is as low as 16 to 1 for next year's 2,000 Guineas on the strength of his debut, but will face a stiff test this weekend if Dermot Weld's Galway winner Fleeting Shadow also takes his chance.

Giants Causeway landed the seven furlong event during his unbeaten juvenile career in 1999.

Thirty-five entries remain in the €300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Sales Stakes, with 17 coming from Britain.

The 2,000 Guineas winner George Washington took the latest step on his comeback yesterday when he was included among the 11 left in Sunday's Celebration Mile at Goodwood.

Aidan O'Brien has also left in River Tiber and Arabian Prince, while the former Sussex Stakes heroine Soviet Song could take on the star Irish colt, who hasn't run since damaging a hip in May's Irish Guineas.

Punters who got stuck into the Tony Martin-trained Missgoodytwoshoes at Sligo less than a fortnight ago will be hoping to get their money back in this evening's two mile handicap hurdle. Ruby Walsh's mount was making progress when clipping heels and unseating the jockey, but a good run at Cork before that indicates Missgoodytwoshoes can win a race like tonight's.

Do The Trick found only Ecole D'Art too good at the Galway festival and can get the better of Lace Your Boots in the two mile maiden hurdle. Out In Front beat the good hunter Ballistraw in a point-to-point last year and looks an interesting contender in the bumper.
