OKLAHOMA (Wootton Bassett {GB}) created a strong impression when chasing home his experienced stablemate Giant Sequoia in a traditionally hot Curragh maiden last month and follows the same path as Benvenuto Cellini, who was also second there before taking this 12 months ago. A son of Hydrangea and full-brother to Hawk Mountain, he is one of two from Ballydoyle, whose Derby hero Anthony Van Dyck was also successful 10 years ago. The other is the newcomer Capability Brown (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), a son of Maybe and therefore a half-brother to Saxon Warrior, while Ger Lyons saddles Juddmonte's Francillon (GB) (Frankel {GB}), a son of the Matriarch Stakes heroine Viadera (Bated Breath).
