In any case the race seems to have lost a lot of prestige in recent years - was North Light the last non-Coolmore Derby winner to run in it?Sheikh Mo mighttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/31000975/epsom-derby-2018?post_id=554750557#554750557Agree Masar has nothing to prove by running at the Curragh against horses he has already beaten.

He's just won THE Derby. He has nothing to prove. Commercial demands means he needs to prove himself a champion over 10f too. Not difficult to comprehend.

The Irish Derby won't take much winning , as of now, so we still won't really know about SW's best trip unless he wins in a very fast time, which is highly unlikely as he probably won't need to run that fast.

He's a one paced 'plodder' who may end up running in a poor Irish St Leger in time.

Both Knight To Behold and Kew Gardens can do a lot better than they did at Epsom . Should both Masar and Saxon Warrior drop out they would be well fancied .
