BARBADOS, a brother to the high-class Maybe, attempted to make all over this trip at Naas but was mugged on the line by stable companion South Pacific. He can go one better though Karakhan was staying on nicely in what looked a strong maiden won by Gentle Bellini here last month and looks certain to make further progress. Fresno also represents Ballydoyle and the son of Galileo out of the brilliant Moonlight Cloud, six times a Group 1 winner, should soon be leaving last season's run at the Curragh behind and he's still in the Derby. Brogue is by Frankel and Alakahan by Motivator though the latter is likely to need further.
