Giant's Causeway will lead the Ballydoyle team in Sunday's King Of Kings Futurity at the Curragh as Aidan O'Brien bids to continue his sensational run with two-year-olds. Fasliyev has picked up the two European Group 1 events for juveniles run so far and the Naas winner Giant's Causeway is a likely short priced favourite to graduate to Group 3 standard.
O'Brien has six of the 14 entries left in the race, which has attracted no cross-channel horses, and said yesterday: "Giant's Causeway is our most likely runner and we will probably run one or two others as well."
One horse that Ballydoyle will not have to take on is Dermot Weld's Leopardstown winner Jammaal who will wait instead for the National Stakes. "He has come on leaps and bounds since Leopardstown," Weld said yesterday.
The Cherry Hinton winner Torgau has been confirmed a runner in the £175,000 Moyglare Stud Stakes on Sunday week.
She will be a first Irish runner for Newmarket trainer Giles Bravery and Michael Hills is likely to take the ride. Another probable British runner is Michael Bell's Croeso Cariad.
