Tuesday, Epsom Downs, Britain, post time: 14:10, BETFRED BLUE RIBAND TRIAL-Listed, £50,000, 3yo, 10f 17y
Field: Devil's Advocate (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Mirabeau (GB) (Territories {Ire}), Prince Of The Seas (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Sea Scout (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), The Cursor (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Tiberius Thunder (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) and Trinity College (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}).
TDN Verdict: Ballydoyle begin their crucial sonar mapping process in the various overseas Derby pointers, with TDN Rising Star Trinity College the chosen one in this revived prep sporting Paul Smith's St Leger-winning colours for the first time. Up in trip having beaten his promising stablemate Acapulco Bay (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) in a mile conditions race at Naas last month, he strips fit and rates as one of the yard's key 3-year-olds for the season ahead as he should as a son of Hermosa (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). He encounters the obligatory Clarehaven prospect in Devil's Advocate, a 7 1/2-length winner at Chelmsford in October with abundant stamina on the dam's side, compatriot Tiberius Thunder who provides a marker to Rosegreen's Delacroix (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) and an unknown quantity from Ralph Beckett's talent-rich 3-year-old arsenal in the Sandown maiden winner Prince Of The Seas, a relative of Stravinsky.
