WITH all the attention on the multiple Group 1 action at Chantilly and Newmarket, the performance that War Decree put up in winning the Group 3 Koffy Diamond Stakes at Dundalk on Friday evening may have gone a little under the radar.

The War Front colt oozed class. He travelled supremely well through his race, he eased his way to the front at the furlong pole, and he picked up nicely when Donnacha O’Brien gave him a squeeze, coming clear of good horses in Absolute Blast and Abingdon.
