Verdict
ORDER OF AUSTRALIA made a very encouraging return to action when third behind stable companions Tiger Moth and Dawn Patrol at Leopardstown with Epsom Derby third Amhran Na Bhfiann back in fourth. His next two starts came in the Irish and then the French Derby, where he was by no means disgraced, and he takes a massive drop in class. Bolivar won a Roscommon maiden by 12 lengths then followed up in a conditions event at Killarney when a neck in front of Tasalka, who is worse off at the weights. Both were in testing ground but there's no reason why he shouldn't handle this surface. Arthurian Fame scored over hurdles in July so this could prove too short while Creationist, twice a winner in the UK, hasn't run since January.
