Verdict
Nysaean has proved himself a smart performer with give in the ground and followed up an all-the-way Chepstow conditions success with a fine effort when fourth in the Irish Derby. Bollin Eric just falls short of being top class but rates a big danger at this level having twice been placed in Pattern company this term while Jelani was an excellent fourth in the Epsom Derby and will relish this easier company.
