J: Ryan Moore

Made all in a maiden last July and most impressive in four-runner Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) in September; made favourite for the Derby on the back of that, and still has that position despite his third of five behind two stablemates when warm favourite for Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m) in October, which was on heavy ground; sister Giselle won last year's Lingfield Oaks Trial (Oaks fifth); their trainer is the first one to turn to for winners of these Chester Derby and Oaks trials; hard to beat.

Made all in a maiden at Killarney (1m, yielding to soft) in July on his second run and easily followed up under Christophe Soumillon in the four-runner Group 2 Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) last month; favourite for the Derby on the back of that and, while he's been weak in the ante-post betting for this race, he certainly has star potential.

Frankel brother to this year's Lingfield Oaks Trial winner Giselle; loads of debut promise at the Curragh in June and confirmed that when landing long odds over today's trip at Killarney following month, making all in readily beating a stablemate and subsequent maiden winner on yielding-to-soft, still green; very smart prospect, major player here with conditions to suit.

Chased home the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at the Curragh; won a maiden at Tipperary before second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; made the running for Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud before fading; same role in the Ballysax here four weeks ago; proved himself a smart type in his own right, sticking to his task as Pierre Bonnard flopped.

Progressed nicely in each of three juvenile runs, notably making all in Listowel rated race on heavy ground (1m); followed up on seasonal return when tongue-tied in 1m2f Cork conditions last month, dictating steady pace then battling well; Derby entry looks the type to keep progressing and could well improve for this longer trip.

Steady improvement in first three runs in decent maidens won by Ballydoyle colts, including getting up on post for third over 7f at the Curragh; softer ground may not have suited when way below his best at Killarney last time (1m); should appreciate return to better ground and big player if staying (blinkers replace cheekpieces).
