Oisin Murphy is confident Hi Royal can put up another good showing as the Newmarket second takes on 10 rivals in Saturday's Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas.
The Kevin Ryan-trained colt outran odds of 125-1 to chase home Chaldean for the silver medal in the 2000 Guineas earlier this month and will now bid to confirm form over the supplemented Royal Scotsman, with Paul and Oliver Cole's son of Gleneagles a place behind in third on the Rowley Mile.
