?BORN TO SEA, Sea The Stars’ half-brother who earned a 10-1 quote for next year’s 2,000 Guineas with a Listed debut win at the Curragh on Saturday, will step up to Group 3 company for his next assignment.

“Seven furlongs would be ideal so we’ll wait for the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown at the end of October,” the pair’s trainer John Oxx revealed yesterday.

“He’s got a bit of talent and is bred to have it – and we didn’t really fire him up to win the first time.”
