ESPIONAGE (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) makes his keenly-anticipated comeback for Ballydoyle in this Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Lenebane S., drawing Ryan Moore to the track for the first time. Earning TDN Rising Star status when beating the stable's subsequent G3 Killavullan S. runner-up Sierra Blanca (Ire) (No Nay Never) over seven furlongs at The Curragh in September, the son of the G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Even Song (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) was second in the G1 Criterium International the following month and rates as one of the more exciting Galileos among the 3-year-old crop.
