Hippology
Group 1 entered HIPPOLOGY shaped with promise in a solid course maiden on debut and could improve markedly for the longer trip. He's narrowly preferred to Karrygrant, who looks sure to progress from his encouraging first effort, while newcomer Trojan Fighter holds an entry in the Irish Derby and needs a second look in the betting.
