Akeed Mofeed looks really good at Leopardstown

Akeed Mofeed impressed greatly when landing the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund (C & G) Maiden at Leopardstown under Johnny Murtagh.

Murtagh got to the front in the familiar Jaber Abdullah silks over a furlong out on the Dubawi juvenile and from there on John Oxx's once previously raced colt went away to account for the well-backed favourite Athens by five lengths.

Oxx said: "He's a nice horse. There was an incident here with him the last day in the stalls when the one beside him reared up and struck him. He had to be taken out then, reloaded, and not surprisingly he missed the break as he was nervous.

"When he got going that day (a month back when fourth over the course and distance) he finished well. There was no issue today and he is a professional horse.

"He'll go for the Beresford (a Group 2 over a mile at the Curragh on September 25th) next and we'll see how he steps-up.

"He always looked like a nice horse and he has a lot of good qualities. We'll find out more the next day."
