High Definition belatedly has his chance to bid for Classic glory in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. Instead, High Definition will line up at the Curragh on Saturday as the hot favourite to provide trainer Aidan O'Brien with a 15th Irish Derby success in the hands of Ryan Moore. "High Definition has been in good form since the Dante - everything has gone well with him since then," said the Ballydoyle handler, whose first Irish Derby came with Desert King in 1997. I think High Definition is the one to beat, and then there's the battle of the placed horses from Epsom, but High Definition looks a very good horse and a worthy favourite. Johnny Murtagh, who won the Irish Derby four times during his illustrious riding career, relies on Earlswood to provide him with a first Classic success as a trainer.
