St Leger fourth Tower Of London features in full field of 30 for €600,000 Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh on Sunday

St Leger fourth Tower Of London has been declared for the €600,000 Friends Of The Curragh Irish Cesarewitch (4.10) on Sunday.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained colt was beaten just under four lengths by stablemate Continuous in the Classic at Doncaster last Saturday.

He carries 9st 11lb in this valuable Curragh handicap and is O’Brien’s sole representative in the 30-runner field. The Ballydoyle trainer won the race with Waterville last year.

Cape Gentleman struck for Emmet Mullins in 2020 and he saddles the in-form Teed Up and The Shunter.

Willie Mullins has a six-strong squad including Grade 1-winning hurdler Echoes In Rain, Jackfinbar and Mt Leinster, with the latter ridden by Rachael Blackmore.

Dawn Rising and St Vincents Garden are two of five runners for Joseph O’Brien. There are two British-trained contenders with James Fanshawe running last-time-out Goodwood winner Novel Legend and Adrian Keatley saddling last week's Mallard scorer Legendary Day.

Brazil featured prominently in the ante-post market but needs two horses to miss the race to make the cut as second reserve, with the deadline at 11am on raceday morning.

Top riders head to Germany

William Buick, Oisin Murphy and Hollie Doyle are riding in the Group 1 Preis von Europa at Cologne (3.35) on Sunday.

Charlie Appleby won the race with Rebel’s Romance last year and saddles Buick’s mount Siskany, who won a Grade 2 at Belmont on his most recent start in June.

Murphy sports the Godolphin silks aboard the Saeed bin Suroor-trained Live Your Dream. The six-year-old was beaten a length when third in the Ebor at York last time and won the bet365 Trophy at Newmarket on his penultimate outing.

Doyle teams up with Jessica Harrington to ride Trevaunance, a Group 2 winner at Deauville last year. Thore Hammer Hansen, another rider familiar to British racing fans, partners Assistent, who finished third in the Grosser Preis von Berlin on his penultimate start.
