At present the 3 y o colts look much of a muchness .
The figure for Causeway is 8f form .
Fourth at Chantilly A Boy Named Susie paid a compliment to Christmas Day .
If Action runs he is likely to shorten up as many will spot the line with Benvenuto Cellini and Hawk Mountain .
From the original 10 on the "sure to get the trip , engaged at Epsom and The Curragh " list just four remain
Benvenuto Cellini
Pierre Bonnard
Bay Of Brilliance
Christmas Day . I am going to throw a few quid at a Tricast / forecast combination . Just in case .
In fact only seven qualified ,, the other three were Raheeb , Joulany and Port Ferdinand . The last named has earned a rating of 92 .
Some people worry that Colin Keane is inexperienced over the Derby course . The following might well have been trying Epsom for the first time :
Yes St Martin
T P Glennon
Willie Shoemaker
Mickael Barzalona
The great Paddy Beggy and the very likeable Emmet McNamara
I would have no worries about Colin Keane .
As for handling the track Lester said that if they are good enough they will handle it .
And for the Lingfield form my concern is that the third horse holds it back . Balzac became upset before the race and pulled his chance away during it .  Under the circumstances a Derby winner should have finished more than seven lengths in front of him . The trainer of Balzac says that he was short of a gallop at Lingfield .
Last season was dreadful for young Hannon . His babies were useless but now he is back on song I would not write off Alderman with respect to the place only markets . With interpolation it would be easy to push the horse up a few pounds .

Convergent +5

The figure for Bay City Roller is from Munich on heavy ground , it is not from his close second to Daryz . He has not got the class of Calandagan but he is not without his chance .
