Aidan O'Brien has won seven of the last 10 renewals and MALAWI looked very much a staying type when runner-up over 1m2f at Dundalk. With that under his belt, the Irish Derby and St Leger entry should go one better, though Joseph won the race a year ago and has two newcomers entered. Antumbra is by Australia and a half-brother to four winners while Point Nepean is by Camelot out of a Galileo mare and looks the stable pick on jockey bookings. Xeres hasn't really improved on his juvenile form and takes a big step up in trip and the remainder have plenty to prove.
