Benvenuto Cellini

9st 6lb

J: Ryan Moore

T: A P O’Brien

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.

Benvenuto Cellini

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: A P O’Brien

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.

Benvenuto Cellini

9st 5lb

J: Ronan Whelan

T: A P O’Brien

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.

Took second behind Derby candidate Benvenuto Cellini in the four-runner Futurity Stakes at the Curragh last August; fourth to Puerto Rico in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud in October; won a three-runner 1m conditions event at Naas on reappearance; did not quite see out the extended 1m2f when third in the Prix Noailles at Longchamp; heads the stable's strong challenge.

J: Declan McDonogh

Stepped from debut fourth behind the smart Benvenuto Cellini at Killarney when making all to win a 1m maiden at Leopardstown in late July on yielding to soft; no match for same rival in a Group 2 contest on Irish Champions Weekend; ended season with a Group 1 fourth behind Ballydoyle's Puerto Rico at Saint-Cloud; handles soft, 8lb clear of Straight Up on official ratings.

Pinatubo colt is half-brother to winners Tamrat (1m inc 2yo/UAE; RPR 96) and Yamal (1m 2yo; 88); dam Listed-placed 10.6f AW winner (96), half-sister to Group 1 winner Youmzain; backed up promising debut fourth to today's rival Benvenuto Cellini at Killarney by making all over C&D in late July on yielding-to-soft; interesting rematch here and McMonagle's pick.

Colt by American Pharoah holds an Irish Derby entry and was highly tried on final two juvenile starts; 40-1 when third of four to current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini in 1m Group 2 at Leopardstown (second and fourth currently rated 107); 20s when beaten 5l in Group 3 at same venue; ran nowhere near opening mark of 101 when third in Cork maiden on return; better for the run and, possibly, this longer trip.

Second runner for yard; promise when fourth on debut at the Curragh; not disgraced in 1m Leopardstown Group 2 on second start; ran to similar level when beaten 6l behind smart Ballydoyle colt in 1m1f Leopardstown Group 3; fair chance with sights lowered on return; holds Irish Derby entry.

One of two for yard; promise when fourth on debut at the Curragh behind Thread Of Gold; not disgraced in a Group 2 here (1m, gd-yld) on his second start, shaping like this longer trip would suit; looks the stable's main hope on jockey arrangements.
