Aidan O'Brien is leaning towards running Washington DC in the Curragh Stakes on Saturday.
Although the two-year-old holds entries in both the Darley Prix Morny at Deauville and the Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Gimcrack Stakes at York, the Ballydoyle trainer has warned he is likely to miss both those engagements in favour of a tilt at the five-furlong Group Three contest.
After running out the winner of the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot, the son of Zoffany took his form to a new level when chasing home stablemate Air Force Blue in the Phoenix Stakes on his first attempt over six furlongs at the Kildare track earlier this month.
He said: "Washington DC is in the Prix Morny on Sunday in Deauville and he's also in the Gimcrack at York on Saturday.
"At the moment it looks like the ground won't be right in either Deauville or York and if that is the case and the ground is right at the Curragh he'll run in the Curragh Stakes on Saturday.
"We'll keep a close eye on the ground and take it from there with him."
O'Brien also revealed he could have up to three runners in the Breast Cancer Research Debutante Stakes as he attempts to capture the Group Two seven-furlong event for a 10th time.
He said: "The most likely at the moment are Alice Springs, who won her maiden nicely at the Curragh, (and) Minding who was second in her maiden first time and she won nicely afterwards. Ballydoyle is also a possible runner."
The chances of O'Brien winning the Group Two E.B.F Galileo Futurity Stakes for a third successive year - and 10th in total - look set to rest with course maiden winner Shogun.
"Kingfisher will run in the Irish St Leger Trial on Sunday with a view to possibly coming back for the St Leger itself later in the year"
Having sent out War Command to take the seven-furlong prize in 2013, O'Brien captured it 12 months ago with subsequent English and Irish 2000 Guineas hero Gleneagles.
He said: "Our main horse at the moment for the Futurity is Shogun and we may run another in that race, possibly Air Vice Marshal."
Kingfisher is to have his first start since chasing home Trip To Paris in the Ascot Gold Cup at the Curragh on Sunday ahead of a potential shot at next month's Palmerstown House Estate Irish St Leger.
He said: "Kingfisher will run in the Irish St Leger Trial on Sunday with a view to possibly coming back for the St Leger itself later in the year."
Irish 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes runner-up Found will be stepped up to a mile and a quarter for the Kilfrush Stud Royal Whip Stakes as she looks to get her head in front for the first time this season.
O'Brien said: "Found is likely to run in the Kilfrush Stud Royal Whip Stakes and we could have three in that. We could run Found, Fluff and Ol' Man River in that race."
