Verdict

Aidan O'Brien holds a typically strong hand in this Group 3 event and his highly progressive juvenile DELACROIX can resume winning ways having just been touched off in Doncaster's Futurity Stakes last backend and put himself firmly in the Derby picture. Stablemate Puppet Master should also find this step up to 1m2f very much to his benefit and rates the main threat with the unexposed Dundalk maiden scorer Tiberius Thunder not discounted either for last year's winning stable.

  1. DELACROIX (IRE)
  2. PUPPET MASTER (IRE)
  3. TIBERIUS THUNDER (IRE)
