Ambiente Friendly and Los Angeles set for Irish Derby reunion

admin admin | 06-26 00:16

Ambiente Friendly and Los Angeles, second and third in the Derby at Epsom, are due to meet again in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on Sunday.

James Fanshawe's Ambiente Friendly beat Los Angeles by three and a quarter lengths at Epsom, with both no match for City Of Troy, and owners the Gredley family have opted to supplement for the Irish Classic.

Fanshawe's last Group One winner came courtesy of Audarya at the Breeders' Cup in 2020.

Los Angeles is one of six left in by Aidan O'Brien, who is in the unusual position of not having the ante-post favourite.

Agenda, Chief Little Rock, Euphoric, Grosvenor Square and The Euphrates could all run for Ballydoyle.

Roger Varian's Matsuri is due to step up in class having won a Leicester novice last time out, while David Menuisier may send Sunway.

The Ger Lyons-trained Keeper's Heart is the only other possible.

On the same card is the Group Two Gain Railway Stakes, in which O'Brien's debut winner Henri Mattise, a Wootton Bassett colt out of Immortal Verse, is one of 10 entries.
