Jim Bolger is hoping to see Moonlight Magic bounce back to his best in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on June 25th.

The Godolphin-owned colt was a leading contender for Epsom honours in the Investec Derby following his victory in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown.

He had Epsom third Idaho behind him when winning at Leopardstown, but never looked happy when running downhill to Tattenham Corner and eventually came home last of the 16 runners.

Bolger said: "Moonlight Magic has been a bit quiet since, but there is nothing obviously wrong. We have done tests and are waiting to see if anything shows up.

"It was a similar story with Turret Rocks (seventh to Minding in the Oaks), and it just wasn't our weekend.

"We'll have to move on and hopefully we can aim at the Irish Derby and the Oaks (with Turret Rocks).

"They are two very nice prospects and I'll be very surprised if we don't get them back."
