PEACOCK (NAP) ran well for second in the Feilden Stakes here behind current Derby favourite Golden Horn. That is the best form on offer and he should confirm running with both Nafaqa and Mustadeem. Snoano never looked like catching Master Apprentice in the Sandown Classic Trial but will sharper for that outing and is preferred to Epsom Derby Trial third Sharp Sailor. Tannaaf failed to show much improvement at Chester on his second start of the year and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today while Faithful Creek has yet to prove he has trained on after a poor effort at Meydan in March.
