Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Thursday at 08:34 PM Journalists Share Posted Thursday at 08:34 PM Friday, Chester, post time: 14:35, IRE-INCENTIVE, IT PAYS TO BUY IRISH HUXLEY STAKES-G2, £130,000, 4yo/up, 10f 70yT Field: Bolster (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), Cairo (Ire) (Quality Road), Certain Lad (GB) (Clodovil {Ire}), Deepone (GB) (Study Of Man {Ire}), Liberty Lane (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}), Space Legend (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), The Foxes (Ire) (Churchill {Ire}). TDN Verdict: With no entries, Aidan O'Brien cannot complete the clean sweep of Chester's black-type races which gives others a chance after a week of renewed domination of this fixture by Ballydoyle. Even without his principal stable involved, Ryan Moore could still complete the unprecedented feat of winning all five with the Cambridgeshire winner Liberty Lane, but he has to go some to get to the level of The Foxes. None of the King Power stalwart's rivals would have a prayer of finishing fourth in a G1 Hong Kong Cup, so this is his to lose especially after a career-best latest when second in the H H The Amir Trophy. [Tom Frary]. Friday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 13:43, PRIX GREFFULHE-G3, €80,000, 3yo, 10 1/2fT Field: Midak (Fr) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), Aidan's Phone (Fr) (Prince Gibraltar {Fr}), Piquoiseau (Fr) (Intello {Ger}), Dioptase (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Uther (GB) (Camelot {GB}). TDN Verdict: Sosie's half-brother Uther sets the standard in this G1 Prix du Jockey Club trial, having beaten the subsequent Listed Prix de Suresnes scorer Nitoi in ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix Noailles last month. The Aga Khan's Studs' Midak is the unknown quantity, while Aidan's Phone has another go at Uther after beating him in Saint-Cloud's Listed Prix Francois Mathet in March and finishing sixth behind him in the Noailles.
