Jack Naylor being targeted at Irish Oaks
Monday 8 June 2015 09:30, UK
Jack Naylor is set to stick at 12 furlongs for now with the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh a likely target.
Jessica Harrington's charge supplemented a fine fourth place in the Irish 1,000 Guineas with sixth in the Oaks at Epsom and while she faded a little in the finish, her trainer believes she merits another try in Classic company.
Harrington said: "Jack Naylor came home well from Epsom. The plan at the moment is the Irish Oaks. Plans can always change but I think we will give her another chance (at a mile and a half)."
Harrington also has Irish Guineas fifth Bocca Baciata in the Irish Oaks but plans for the Big Bad Bob filly are undecided with a clutch of entries over the coming weeks.
The trainer added: "Bocca Baciata is in good form. It's not certain where she will go next. She will do a bit of work this week and we'll see after that."
