Form & Verdict
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.

Highly tried in Pattern races as a juvenile; off the mark when making all over an extended 1m2f at Roscommon on seasonal debut this term; only 1 3/4l behind the stronger-finishing Amadeus Mozart when fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); proved vulnerable over a longer trip in the 1m5f Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket; cheekpieces on now.

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Pitched into Group events twice as 2yo and it wasn't until his second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon); 22-1, every chance through the final 2f when an excellent fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; longer trips than that now look well worth a go but he has the most to prove in this field, including with a bit to find on form.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Unraced on firmer than good; pitched into Group 2 and Group 3 events for minor roles on the last two of his three outings as 2yo; it wasn't until second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon) and he had to knuckle down seriously, but that even-money success from a stablemate (who was 13th in Thursday's King George V) brings improved form into this much harder task for handicap debut.

Won over 7f at two; good display when second to a better-fancied stablemate over C&D in May; down the field in handicaps at Royal Ascot and Goodwood; should be more at home in this company.

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Won the first of his five races and best form on penultimate start (10.5f, good); 1m4f for handicap debut looked interesting at Royal Ascot (good to firm; 28-1) on latest but he was a never-dangerous 13th of 19 after making a move early in straight, suggesting this trip is a better fit after all.

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Perhaps unsuited by soft ground and/or front-running on second start, as he's otherwise improved his rating every time; tongue tied for minor honours in two median auction races (1m and 10.5f) this term and, despite his pedigree, 1m4f for handicap debut looks interesting on the latest evidence.
