THE MEDITERRANEAN, who is in the Derby, is the mount of Ryan Moore from the Aidan O'Brien three and is taken to leave last autumn's debut behind and make a winning return. His stablemate Lord Of The Manor is another who could step up considerably on his sole outing at 2 so he's feared most ahead of Egyptian Rock.
