OXX TO RUN THREE AT CURRAGH

John Oxx is set to be three-handed in the Budweiser Irish Derby at the Curragh on Sunday week.

'I will probably run two others in addition to Sinndar. I don't know which ones yet. I have to discuss this with the Aga Khan', said the Currabeg trainer who added that Sinndar was in great form following his Vodafone Derby victory.

'Sinndar came out of Epsom well and is in good shape. He has cantered from last Tuesday onwards and we are very happy with him.'

Oxx's decision increases the liklihood that the Irish Derby field will reach at least eight runners, the minimum required for the million dollar donus payable if either the Epsom or French Derby winner goes on to win the Curragh version.

Oxx has five left in the race: Sinndar, Ezbek, Korasoun, Raypour and Takali. All five are owned by the Aga Khan.
