CHARLES DARWIN has to carry a penalty for winning in Navan, but should be up to it. This full-brother to the top-class Blackbeard powered away from his rivals to win by five and a half lengths on soft ground. Afterwards, Aidan O'Brien commented that it could be the Coventry Stakes or Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot for him, so he looks to be a colt with a bright future. Joseph O'Brien's Spring Is Here started out in Listed company at the Curragh and acquitted herself well to be beaten just over two lengths into fourth, so that experience will stand to her. Cardiff By The Sea is a half-sister to a Listed winner so should be checked in the market along with the other newcomers. |
Spring Is Here sets the standard on ratings having been pitched in at the deep end on debut at Listed level. She ran with credit that day and is a potential improver for this stiff track. However, previous winner CHARLES DARWIN may be able to defy the penalty here. He's been well backed both starts so far and showed he'd learnt plenty from his debut when an impressive winner last time. The runner up has been well beaten since but if coping with this quicker surface he should be able to follow up. |
