Rock on course for Derrinstown

Dermot Weld’s Fascinating Rock aims to build on the good impression he has made already this season in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown on Sunday.

The Fastnet Rock colt won a Leopardstown maiden in March before following up in the Ballysax Stakes in impressive fashion and he will aim to continue Weld’s fine start to the season.

Aidan O’Brien holds his usual strong hand with Geoffrey Chaucer, who is also engaged in the French Guineas, Mekong River, who won four of his five starts last season, the once-raced pair of Blue Hussar and Red Rocks Point and Iniesta all possible.
