Aidan O'Brien: Trains Dundalk runner Mars
The extra meeting arranged at Dundalk on Monday has attracted at least one potentially high-class horse in the shape of the Aidan O'Brien-trained Mars.
A son of Galileo, the two-year-old is as short as just 12-1 with Boylesports for the Investec Derby and makes his racecourse bow in the seven-furlong Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden.
Joseph O'Brien, fresh from big-race success at Longchamp with Imperial Monarch on Saturday night, takes the ride.
Mars is one of three runners from Ballydoyle in an 11-strong field, the others being fellow newcomers Rain God (Colm O'Donoghue) and The Ferryman (Seamie Heffernan).
