Kingsbarns favourite for Derby after becoming Aidan O'Brien's seventh Racing Post Trophy winner The Galileo colt, O'Brien's seventh winner of the race, was promoted to favourite for Epsom in June after travelling supremely well throughout the race, but he did show signs of inexperience - as he was entitled to in only his second race - when sent about his business a furlong and a half out by Joseph O'Brien. Ladbrokes also made him 8-1 second favourite for the 2,000 Guineas behind the Dewhurst winner Dawn Approach. It is a rare year, however, when the winners of the Dewhurst and Racing Post both go on to become superstars in their Classic season. The last time it happened was in 2004, when the Dewhurst winner Shamardal won the French Guineas, French Derby and St James's Palace while Motivator won the Derby. It might have happened again two years later when Authorized, winner of the Racing Post, went on to land the Derby, but Teofilo was crocked at the start of his three-year-old season and did not run again. Kingsbarns was not as impressive as either of those two horses were in this race, when they won like they were in a piece of half-speed work against handicappers. For all that, however, this colt has a lovely temperament, looks intelligent and it would be a surprise if he did not improve a lot over the winter, not only for this experience, but when he fills out. He will not, however, be subject to quite the same excessive hype as Camelot and St Nicholas Abbey. Godolphin's Tawhid ran out an impressive winner of the Horris Hill Stakes on heavy ground at Newbury, beating Alhebayeb four lengths having gone to the front a furlong out, travelling hard on the bit. Presumably, however, the grey Invincible Spirit colt will have to go in an opposite direction to Godolphin's main Classic hope, Dawn Approach, next spring or where there is some good cut in the ground, given how well he handled it on Saturday.
