Form & Verdict
Some promising efforts at two without winning; has made a flawless start to his 3yo career, winning a Gowran maiden (7f, soft) and a C&D handicap (good) off 83; now rated 88 and worth his place in this field but probably needs to take another big step forward.

Ran nice races in early summer at two; back from lengthy layoff, and having been gelded, to win Gowran maiden (7f, soft); first go at a mile.

The best of four runs last year was when a close third in a 6f Curragh maiden; that came on good ground; also ran well over 7f previously; gelded since; rated 81 and should be a big player if handling this ground.

Form & Verdict
Camelot colt made a winning start to his career over 7f (yld-sft) in a maiden here last September; seemed like 10.5f may have stretched him on seasonal return at Cork; dam was a dual Group 1 winner at 1m so this trip could suit but Moore prefers Shaftesbury Avenue.

Camelot colt is out of Group 1-winning miler Amazing Maria; successful on only 2yo start, hampered and hanging badly but doing well under a considerate ride in getting up late in 7f Naas maiden on softish ground; dual Derby entry should appreciate this step up in trip and could be anything.

Camelot colt; half-brother to 1m/10.5f winner King Lear (including Spain; RPR 99); dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/two Group 1s; 118); suspicion this will be his bare minimum trip and yard's newcomers often need the run but any market support worth noting.

One of three for top yard; promise when a 2.5l fourth on debut at Dundalk (7f) last October; off the mark on seasonal return in a 7f maiden here on soft in March and earned an official rating of 97; deserted by Moore upped in trip but rider's 5lb claim useful off top weight; can't discount.
