TIGER MOTH hasn't been seen out since pushing stablemate Santiago very close in the Irish Derby but Aidan O'Brien's highly progressive 3-y-o is confidently expected to take this en route to tackling better company later this autumn. Buckhurst is far more exposed but rates a very smart colt so is fancied to chase him home along with in-form Patrick Sarsfield.
