Jessica Harrington reports her Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby contender Sprewell to be in rude health ahead of his tilt at upsetting double chasing Auguste Rodin in the Curragh Classic on Sunday.

Harrington’s progressive colt had a heavily impeded passage when fourth behind the Aidan O’Brien-trained star in the Epsom Derby and would need a lot more to go right to deny the Ballydoyle conditioner a landmark century of European Classics.
