A Boy Named Susie looks set to sidestep the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on Sunday and instead target the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown on Saturday week.

Just a length behind subsequent Derby hero Christmas Day in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown on his three-year-old debut, Donnacha O’Brien’s charge then made late headway to finish fourth in a Prix du Jockey Club dominated by his father Aidan, with Constitution River leading home a Ballydoyle one-two-three.
