High Definition is expected to “come forward” from his seasonal reappearance in last week’s Dante Stakes with all roads expected to lead towards the Epsom Derby for Aidan O’Brien’s charge.

The Galileo colt was third at York having missed the Derby Trial at Lingfield the previous weekend due to an unsatisfactory blood count and O’Brien reports that the second-favourite for the Epsom showpiece bounced out well from that run.

“High Definition is in good form. I was very happy with him in York and he hasn’t done much since. Four days before he wasn’t going to run and he’ll come forward plenty. 

“We always give them 10 days to two weeks to get back into full work and then see where they are. Ryan (Moore) was very happy with him. The pace died a bit in the middle at York and it might have suited if it had stayed strong,” O’Brien said.

Meanwhile, Ken Condon is praying to the weather Gods ahead of Sunday’s Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh with the Kildare trainer hoping for a dry spell after Group Two winner Miss Amulet missed the French version on Sunday due to the change in going.

“She might run at the Curragh on Sunday, we’ll just have to see how the weather plays out. She’s very well and she’s ready to run. We’re happy with our decision not to run her on what we would call heavy ground,” Condon said.

“It wouldn’t have been the right thing by her, we’ll just see how the rest of this week goes. She’s a filly that, with her two-year-old career, deserves a chance at a Classic. She’s just unfortunate with the weather.”
