CURRAGH BOUND: La Persiana is set to go to the Curragh on Sunday rather than Newbury two days earlier in search of a first success in Group company.
The four-year-old grey filly has picked up two Listed victories this term but has been placed in all her three runs in Pattern class.
She is in the Group Three Dubai Duty Free Arc Trial at Newbury tomorrow but is more likely to stick to racing against her own sex in the Irish National Stud Blandford Stakes, a Group Two contest over a mile and a quarter at the Curragh.
"She's more likely to go to the Curragh," said Jarvis. "She worked this morning and I was really pleased with her. We've had a few goes in Group races but have come up against good ones like All Too Beautiful".
Alan Munro, who partnered the daughter of Daylami to those successes at Salisbury and Yarmouth, will be in the plate on Sunday.
APPEAL: Walter Swinburn will have his appeal against the placing of Fairmile at Sandown earlier this month heard by the disciplinary panel of the Jockey Club this morning.
The stewards at the Esher track decided not to promote Swinburn's charge after he was interfered with in the closing stages and beaten a short head by South O'The Border in the Sodexho Prestige Handicap.
DERBY WINNER: Motivator will be syndicated to stand at stud at Sandringham when retiring at the end of the season.
Trained by Michael Bell, the three-year-old was a runaway winner of the blue riband having previously landed the Dante Stakes at York. Motivator will retire after running in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup Turf at Belmont.
