Simple task for Dylan Thomas

THE high-class Dylan Thomas makes his seasonal debut in the Ascon Rohcon Alleged Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow and shouldn’t come out of second gear.

This is a lowly Listed race and Aidan O’Brien’s colt is in a different league to six rivals. He landed two Group 1’s in 2006 and they were performances right out of the top bracket.

In the Irish Derby at headquarters, Dylan Thomas produced a sparkling turn of foot to score by three and a half lengths. His best effort, however, was over ten furlongs at Leopardstown in the Baileys’ Irish Champion Stakes, when taking on the older brigade.
