Frankel colt starts out for O'Brien

The presence of Frankel offspring San Remo is sure to draw huge interest in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at the Curragh today.
The colt is one of three runners for Aidan O'Brien, who also sends out Ensign a son of Invincible Spirit, and Exemplar by Galileo.
But all eyes will be on San Remo, who bids to give Frankel a first sired winner in Ireland.
O'Brien has a strong hand in the other maiden on the card, the Breast Cancer Research Maiden, as Big Ben another son of Galileo, bids to improve on his encouraging debut at the same venue in June.
Big Ben was slowly away when filling third place in a similar maiden in June and the form has received a notable boost as the winner Stellar Mass was subsequently third in the Irish Derby and last successful at Group level.
The concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap sees the President of Ireland's Aimhirgin Lass bid to defy top weight for trainer John Oxx and jockey Declan McDonogh.
The daughter of Pivotal also bids to make it third-time lucky at the track, having filled the runner-up spot here on her debut run in 2015.
