Two-year-old colts Log Out Island and Saafarr bid for glory in the Group Two GAIN Railway Stakes at the Curragh, Ireland, on Saturday, June 27.
Log Out Island (Richard Hannon/William Buick) steps up to six furlongs following two excellent runs over a furlong shorter, most recently when battling well to go down by half a length to Waterloo Bridge in the Group Two Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 18.
He made all of the running for a facile success in a conditions race at the same course on April 29, in which subsequent Coventry Stakes winner Buratino was third.
Saafarr (Jim Bolger/Kevin Manning) came home sixth to Rockaway Valley on his only start to date in a maiden, run over the same course and distance as the GAIN Railway Stakes, on June 7.
Richard Hannon commented: "Log Out Island is crying out for six furlongs and this looks a good opportunity for him."
Jim Bolger said: "Saafarr is very well and I am hoping that he can get some black type."
Log Out Island and Saafarr take on three rivals - Listed winner Argentero, Leopardstown maiden scorer Painted Cliffs and Rockaway Valley.
