      Verdict

      Aidan O’Brien has won six of the last nine renewals and the Derby entry Star Of India steps up in trip having failed to worry Native Trail in last month’s Craven Stakes. Cresta and Sonny Liston were no match for the winner in the Feilden at Newmarket and headgear is applied to the former but DUBAI POET (NAP) finished runner-up in a Listed contest over a mile at Newcastle on his reappearance. Third to 2000 Guineas hero Coroebus at Headquarters last year, Roger Varian’s colt is not in the Derby as yet but should stay at least this far. Harrow beat subsequent Epsom winner Mr Mccann at York last autumn though was a beaten favourite on the all-weather in March.
