Camelot tops Curragh contenders

Aidan O’Brien’s unbeaten Camelot appears among 11 confirmations for Saturday’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at The Curragh.

The winner of the 2000 Guineas and most recently the Derby at Epsom, Camelot is set to be a hot favourite in a bid for his third Classic before a likely attempt at completing the British Triple Crown in the St Leger.

The most notable absentee was Jim Bolger’s Dewhurst hero Parish Hall, who has still not appeared this season, and his trainer will have to rely on Ballysax and Derrinstown Trial winner Light Heavy.
