Aidan O'Brien's three-year-old to land the feature on day one of the Boodles May Festival on the Roodee and book his ticket to the Betfred Derby at Epsom while Call Glory, Kings Merchant, Lady Lightning, Port Fairy, Gallantly and Remarkable Force may also...
GROSVENOR SQUARE can give Aidan O'Brien another victory in the Boodles Chester Vase Stakes on day one of the Boodles Chester May Festival. And with success in the Group Three feature on the Roodee the three-year-old can book his ticket to next month's Betfred Derby at Epsom.
Having seen his big hope for the season City Of Troy bomb out in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket on Saturday, O'Brien will be readying his squad for the Derby over the next week or so with the Trials at Chester, Lingfield, Leopardstown and York. City Of Troy and Henry Longfellow remain his main hopes in the betting for Classic glory next month but Grosvenor Square can at least become part of his Derby team at Epsom on June 1 by taking the Vase.
Stable-mate PORT FAIRY can also book her place at Epsom with victory, also under Ryan Moore, in the Listed Weatherbys ePassport Cheshire Oaks . The three-year-old daughter of another of O'Brien's past Derby heroes, Australia, Port Fairy will be making her fourth career start on the Roodee – a place the Ballydoyle handler likes to send his Epsom hopefuls as there are some similarities on the tight turning tracks. Port Fairy was seventh on her only start as a juvenile at Gowran Park.
LADY LIGHTNING can also take advantage of her good draw to win the CAA Stellar Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes . Ed Dunlop's Earthlight filly won on her racecourse debut, scoring in good style having made almost all the running in a Novice Stakes contest at Wolverhampton last month. She broke well that day and looks very speedy. She looks the ideal type for this race.
