Eight of the last 10 favourites have scored and John Gosden has won three of the last four. Keble represents him this time and, though he's been a beaten favourite in both starts and was eight lengths behind the winner at Newbury last month, he should be suited by the easier surface and longer trip. He's still in the Derby and will need to go well to justify the entry but faces another Epsom entry, and one much better fancied, in SIR ISAAC NEWTON. He's in just about every major race over the next few months which is hardly surprising given the fact he cost 3.6m guineas as a yearling. His close second to Zawraq at Leopardstown has been boosted by the winner's subsequent easy Listed success and Ryan Moore looks to have got on board another winner for the Coolmore operation. Mr Quicksilver is also an Epsom entry and he's another with a classic pedigree who should improve now tackling a more suitable trip. The remainder will all need to find massive improvement to get involved.
