Then, in the first week of June, Look Here catapulted Beckett=s stable into the limelight with that devastating burst to dispose of the subsequent Irish Oaks scorer Moonstone (GB) (Dalakhani {Ire}) and three-time Group 1 winner Lush Lashes (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). While that proved a watershed moment, Beckett is keen to put it into context. "In many ways, the impact of Penkenna Princess was just as important then as Look Here is now on how we are perceived, as we were very much a middle-of-the- road operation at the time," he said. Despite his short spell in training, Beckett has had ample chance to get to know the family of Look Here, thanks to the pa- tronage of the Rich- mond-Watsons.

O'BRIEN PONDERS STAYERS' TARGETS Both Septimus (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and Yeats (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) featured among the 19 entries remaining in Sat- urday's G1 Irish Field St Leger at The Curragh, as Aidan O'Brien weighs up their options. Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor's Septimus, who has not been seen since his comeback win in the June 28 G3 Curragh Cup, appears the most likely to take up the engagement on the mile-and-three-quarter contest, with the Oct. 5 G1 Prix du Cadran on the agenda for Susan Magnier and Diane Nagle's triple G1 Gold Cup-winning Yeats. "They are all possibles at this stage, but Septimus is probably more likely at the moment," O'Brien told Racing Post. "If he runs, then it's possible Yeats wouldn't run, but we'll wait and see until closer to the time when we know the ground and how all the horses are going." Of the potential rivals to the Coolmore pick is His Highness the Aga Khan's Listed Ballycullen S. winner Hasanka (Ire) (Kalanisi {Ire}), and trainer John Oxx is hoping she can make her presence felt. "She definitely loves the ground and the trip and, while she has a lot to find with the likes of Septimus, she is at her best at the minute and we are hoping she might pick up a place," Oxx told PA Sport.
