It's a very exciting renewal of the 5f Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on Thursday with Wesley Ward's American Rascal travelling over from the US.

Trainer Paddy Twomey has made the decision to target the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot with Noche Magica after the colt was beaten in the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

In addition to the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas, the Curragh hosts a card of exciting Black Type racing featuring the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes and the Group 3 Marble Hill Stakes for the sprinters.

The first Group race on Irish Guineas weekend went the way of the Givemethebeatboys following a hardy display to land the Marble Hill Stakes on his second start.
