High Chaparral targets Curragh

High Chaparral leaves Hawk Wing trailing

Aidan O'Brien has confirmed that High Chaparral will attempt to follow up his Vodafone Derby success by winning the Irish equivalent at the Curragh.

But Epsom runner-up Hawk Wing will step down in trip to a mile and a quarter to tackle next month's Coral Eurobet Eclipse Stakes at Sandown.

Galileo and Sinndar have completed the Epsom-Curragh double in the past two years.

O'Brien also outlined his team for Royal Ascot next week, with Johannesburg having his first run since the Kentucky Derby in the Golden Jubilee Stakes over six furlongs.

"He is well and he is working nicely," said O'Brien.

O'Brien will saddle Sagitta 2000 Guineas and Irish 2000 Guineas winner Rock Of Gibraltar plus French 2000 Guineas victor Landseer in the St James's Palace Stakes next Tuesday.
