Richard Hannon's Mojo Star almost caused a seismic upset at Epsom, and heads to the Curragh this weekend with major claims in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. Sent off a 50-1 chance as a two-race maiden on the first Saturday in June, Mojo Star beat all bar Charlie Appleby's Adayar, himself among the outsiders. Punters will see nothing like those odds this time, with Mojo Star the general second-favourite behind Aidan O'Brien's High Definition, and Hannon is expecting another bold display. I thought he was a nice horse, but didn't know he was a very good horse," said Hannon. Mojo Star duly proved the point - but Adayar shot up the rails, and was not for catching.
