Obrien has runner tonight at Southwell.

When Joseph Patrick O’Brien travels a horse the destination is usually a glamorous setting such as Ascot, Flemington or Santa Anita, but on Tuesday evening he will break new ground by saddling his first runner on the Fibresand at Southwell.

Dune Of Pilat (4.55), a Dundalk maiden scorer in December, will be prohibitive odds to land the five-runner mile novice stakes with apprentice Shane Crosse set for his second ride in Britain aboard the Sun Bloodstock-owned colt.

The three-year-old cost €340,000 as a yearling at the Arqana Deauville sale in 2018 and is entered in the Investec Derby.
