Jockey Pat Smullen is looking forward to the prospect of Epsom Derby winner Harzand lining up in next Saturday’s Irish Derby at the Curragh.

Speaking after winning the Ulster Oaks on Simannka Smullen stated “if the ground is safe I'm sure he'll take his chance. The easy side of good should be okay but that decision will be for the boss.

“We are very happy with him."
