MADHMOON looks over-priced for today’s Investec Derby. We don’t know that Kevin Prendergast’s colt will stay a mile and a half, but we know that he is classy and progressive, and we know that there is a chance that he will stay.

The Dawn Approach colt ran twice last year as a juvenile, and he won twice. Impressive in winning his maiden over a mile at Leopardstown in August, he went back to the Foxrock track on Irish Champions Weekend in September, and he won the Group 2 KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes, when he had Broome over two lengths behind him in second place.
