In depth
Verdict
Jim Bolger will be on a high after Saturday's classic victory and Theogony is a full-brother to a useful winner and a half-brother to a winning two-year-old. Snapius is related to several winners but Lady Tanzanite is likely to need further in time. Palais D'elysee is from the first crop of Ribchester and a half-sister to two winners up to 7f but experience is likely to be the key factor here and QUICK SUZY made a promising start at Tipperary so looks to have every chance of going one better.
