FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Epsom Derby third AMHRAN NA BHFIANN is unopposable as he drops back into maiden company. Fourth in a very strong maiden at Leopardstown (the three in front of him finished second, third and fourth in the Irish Derby) on his seasonal reappearance, he raced in third throughout behind Serpentine at Epsom and finished a little over a length in front of Gordon Stakes winner Mogul (sixth). Perhaps a mile and a half is his best trip, but he should still be too good for these rivals over 10f. Aidan O’Brien also runs an interesting newcomer in Gauntlet, a half-brother to Arc winner Danedream. King Arthur’s Sword ran well when placed behind Irish Derby third Dawn Patrol over course and distance, and he can be involved for minor money along with Zawara, a promising second on debut over 1m here behind stablemate Kassaba.
