Racing: Trainer Geoff Huffer says Cockney Rebel is likely to bid for more Classic glory in the Irish 2000 Guineas.
Although the English 2000 Guineas hero was initially ruled out of the May 26th assignment, Huffer now intends to run him at the Curragh and Royal Ascot.
"The Irish 2000 Guineas is under consideration now and the plan is to go there," the Newmarket-based handler told the Racing Post.
"The timetable is quite good - with three weeks between Newmarket and the Curragh - and then there is another three weeks before the St James's Palace."
Aidan O'Brien claims leading Epsom Derby fancy Mount Nelson is on the "easy list".
Last season's Group One Criterium International winner was not among Ballydoyle's eight inmates entered for Sunday's Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown.
"At the moment, Mount Nelson is on the easy list as we decided to ease off with him when he didn't blow off as quick as the other Guineas horses last week," said O'Brien.
"He's in plenty of races but we haven't picked any target for him so we'll have to wait and see."
Of his remaining Derrinstown candidates, O'Brien told the Racing Post: "They're all intended runners at this stage but we'll see how they get on with their work during the week."
Eagle Mountain, fifth behind Cockney Rebel in the 2000 Guineas on Saturday, could next run in the Dante Stakes at York on May 17th.
Fourth in the Racing Post Trophy on his penultimate start, the Rock Of Gibraltar colt was an eyecatching performer in the Classic having raced on the stands' rail.
O'Brien added: "He's a possible runner in the Irish Guineas but the Dante and the French Derby are also options - it will be one of those three for him next time."
