The Galileo colt Memorabilis should be suited by stepping up to this trip after a couple of ordinary efforts last season and is still in the Irish Derby. His stable companion Delphi, another by Galileo, is out of a Group 3 winning two-year-old and will be better for last year's experience as will Joseph O'Brien's Camelot Rock for his run behind Mogul at the Curragh. The latter's stablemate Druid's Altar is a half-brother to five winners though another from the yard, Verdon Gorge, cost 240,000gns and also has an Irish Derby entry so looks the stable pick. TARAMANSOUR was staying on over 1m2f at Leopardstown last week and race-fitness can be the deciding factor.
