7/4
Lambourn ran well to finish second to stablemate and well fancied Derby hope Delacroix in a Group 3 at Leopardstown first time out and he should improve significantly for the run. The extended 1m4f trip is likely to facilitate further progress and Aidan O’Brien has farmed this race in recent years.
