Verdict

CHRISTMAS DAY beat the subsequent Leopardstown Derby Trial 1-2-3 when completing the hat-trick in the Ballysax there on return last month and the son of Camelot can cement himself as a live Derby contender. Morshdi impressed when winning the Fielden at Newmarket and hails from a yard that won the Lingfield Derby Trial on Saturday, while King's Trail is worth another chance having failed to do himself justice in the 2000 Guineas.
