J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Second start at two yielded a 6l course 1m win on heavy; never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day; stepped up on that when staying on strongly to beat Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial over the same course and trip; coltish in the preliminaries at Epsom; did well in the circumstances to finish third (second-best of the Irish contingent); seems ground-versatile and likely to appreciate this stiff test.

Second start as 2yo was a 6l win in Curragh maiden (1m, heavy); never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day and couldn't have left it any later in the Derby Trial back over Leopardstown's 1m2f (good) four weeks ago, but upstaging Pierre Bonnard so dramatically in the latter reinforces the feeling that 1m4f will suit him well; his sire's sole Group 1 win was at this trip; each-way player for trainer and jockey who won the Oaks yesterday.

Promising Navan debut when strong-finishing 1/2l second over 1m, despite rider losing an iron close home; impressed in beating two stablemates in testing conditions in a 1m Curragh maiden at the beginning of November; got outpaced in the Ballysax on reappearance, kept on late in fifth, around 3l behind Endorsement.

Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in two 1m2f Pattern events, the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft); 3yo campaign got off to a low-key start behind Christmas Day in the Ballysax at Leopardstown; much more like it when second to James J Braddock in the Derby Trial at the same venue; jury is out following a short-lived Derby challenge.

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: A P O’Brien

Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in a Group 3 at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft) and they were over 1m2f; 3yo campaign got off to a muted start but he briefly hit the front in Derby Trial at Leopardstown before James J Braddock swooped and Aidan O'Brien has stressed that he went gently with him at home until after that race; his sire and dam's sire were Derby winners (dam won 1m2f Group 1 Nassau) and he now moves up from 1m2f; he looked every inch a serious Derby contender last term and that's probably still the impression to go with.

Beat Shaihann in a 1m Dundalk maiden last August; looked smart on his final two juvenile starts; asserted strongly when beating stablemate Endorsement in the Zetland Stakes (1m2f, good to firm); readily beat A Boy Named Susie on very soft ground in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud; now needs to rebuild his reputation after tame eclipse in the Ballysax

Improved from his debut when chasing home Pierre Bonnard over 1m at Dundalk last August; found the competition too hot in the Beresford Stakes; made a fine start to the season when winning a good 1m2f maiden at this venue; got upset in the stalls when failing to build on that in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown; better when third behind the subsequent King Edward VII Stakes winner Causeway in the 1m2f Gallinule Stakes here; first Group 1 attempt now, should stay 1m4f.

Won on debut at Listowel last September (7f, heavy); two of three subsequent starts have come in Group 3s over 1m at Newmarket (sixth of 7 beaten 3.75l) and on latest in first-time hood (retained) over 1m2f at Leopardstown (last of 5 beaten 5.5l); rated 99, so obvious chance on the figures in this lesser race.

Justified favouritism in a Listowel festival maiden (7f, heavy); may not have been suited by quick ground in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket; hooded after disappointing seasonal debut; making up the numbers for Ballydoyle here.
