Wordsworth's impressive Curragh victory could be the prelude to Classic success

Aidan O'Brien and the Coolmore partners look to have another potential star stayer on their hands after Kew Gardens' brother Wordsworth made his second start a winning one at the Curragh.

The son of Galileo, out of Desert King's daughter Chelsea Rose, was well on top at the line under Ryan Moore in the maiden over a mile and a quarter.

Bred by Barronstown Stud, the three-year-old is a brother to 2018 St Leger hero Kew Gardens, who the following summer inflicted a rare defeat on Stradivarius in a thrilling Gold Cup at Ascot. The strong stayer also won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris and the Queen's Vase.

Wordsworth is also a brother to Snow, who won last year's Group 3 Munster Oaks.

His only previous start had seen him finish a close second to stablemate High Definition, whose only subsequent outing last season saw him follow up in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes.

Starting at even money in a field of 21 on Saturday, Wordsworth was clearly expected to go one better, and he duly delivered by two lengths to earn price cuts for the Cazoo Derby.

Galileo has supplied a record five winners of the Epsom Classic, in last year's pillar-to-post winner Serpentine, plus New Approach, Australia, Ruler Of The World and Anthony Van Dyck, and his son Wordsworth is now around a 14-1 chance (from 33) to follow in their hoofprints.

High Definition, likewise a son of Galileo, is a best-priced 7-2 favourite for the Derby, a price which would seem very skinny on the surface now, relative to Wordsworth's price, seeing he beat him just three-quarters of a length on their debuts.

Wordsworth was the fourth winner on the Curragh card for Moore and O'Brien following Lancaster House and Broome in Group 3s, and Glounthaune in the opening maiden.

Two-year-old Glounthaune was making his debut and the son of Kodiac, bred by Tally-Ho Stud, stuck his neck out to win by that margin from Starspangledbanner's son Castle Star.

The winner races in the silks of John Magnier's mother Evie Stockwell and was a 350,000gns purchase from Tattersalls Book 1 last year.
