Verdict
Stellar Mass is undoubtedly the form pick on his close second to Embiran at the Curragh in March though he disappointed when tackling this trip at Leopardstown. Sean O'Casey showed nothing on his debut but did better on quicker going at Gowran last month, though stable companion THE MAJOR GENERAL looks to have more scope. A 1.5m euros yearling, he's still in the Derby and hasn't been disgraced in either start to date so can start repaying some of that outlay. Flying Bullet has performed with credit behind Ballydoyle inmates in his two starts and should improve while Mutadaffeq was only a head behind Stellar Mass at the Curragh in August and is another with an entry for Epsom.
