Camelot got the job done at odds of 1/5 in the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby to become the 15th horse to complete the English/Irish double.

Review navan 19th Oct
Frontier (7-2) provided Aidan O'Brien with a sixth consecutive victory in the www.thetote.com/mobile Maiden at NavanWed 19th Oct
Market gets it wrong as Frontier wins
The www.thetote.com/mobile Maiden over a mile proved to be tough going for its juvenile participants and the bigger priced of the Ballydoyle-trained pair, Frontier saw it out best to beat Light Heavy in race two at Navan. Wed 19th Oct
He managed to get there despite not liking the ground. He's not the same horse on that ground. He's a top horse with a will to win and lots of ability. He's not going to Epsom. I'm hoping for decent ground at the Curragh for the Irish Derby.
J S Bolger
A mile is the minimum for him and he'll step up from now on. He liked that faster ground and he'll improve throughout the year.
J S Bolger
