One Look poised to miss Newmarket and head for the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh

Leading Qipco 1000 Guineas contender One Look is set to skip the Newmarket Classic, with trainer Paddy Twomey likely to adopt a patient approach and head for the Irish equivalent of the race with the daughter of Gleneagles.

One Look made a devastating racecourse debut when running away with the Goffs Million at the Curragh by six lengths on her only start as a two-year-old.

Naturally, she was a very warm order when making her reappearance at Cork in modest company, winning by three lengths on heavy ground over seven furlongs.

"One Look won the Goffs Million last year, I didn't feel like running her again after that. Twomey said. "To go to the race in September and to win as impressively as she did, if you give her a month after winning, you were into November and there’s not really anywhere to go.

"I was keen then this year to run her in a winners’ race rather than going straight to a Stakes, she had her one day at the races and she won very impressively, but it all happened quickly and I wanted her to have some more education.

"We took her to Cork ready to run, the ground wasn’t what we’d be looking for but she did what we hoped she’d do. She was the 1-20 favourite and my first runner on the day had been beaten, so I wasn’t feeling great about it. But she went and did it, it was a good educational day out for her.

"My thinking now is that she won’t go to Newmarket, I think she’ll stay in Ireland and either go to the Athasi Stakes or more likely the Cornelscourt Stakes at Leopardstown, with a view to going to the Irish Guineas.

"I feel that I’d like to educate her a bit more along the way, I don’t want to land her into an English Guineas just now. Those are the two races I would run her in if she is going to run before the
