Verdict

A wide-open renewal of the Irish Derby, a race that has been dominated by Aidan O'Brien in recent times having won 10 of the last 14 renewals. Santiago is probably his best chance this time around and he sets the standard on his Queen's Vase win at Royal Ascot but a chance is taken on Joseph O'Brien's CROSSFIREHURRICANE. He won with more in hand than the winning margin suggested in a Group 3 here last time out and there were signs he was still learning on the job that day. Not many fillies have run in this race in recent times but the selection's stablemate New York Girl isn't without claims with improvement likely up in trip. Sunchart could go well at a likely big price.
