Derrinstown next for Fascinating Rock Dermot Weld's Fascinating Rock aims to build on the good impression he has made already this season in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial at Leopardstown on Sunday. The Fastnet Rock colt won a Leopardstown maiden in March before following up in the Ballysax Stakes in impressive fashion and he will aim to continue Weld's fine start to the season. Aidan O'Brien holds his usual strong hand with Geoffrey Chaucer, who is also engaged in the French Guineas, Mekong River, who won four of his five starts last season, the once-raced pair of Blue Hussar and Red Rocks Point and Iniesta all possible. Jim Bolger's Answered, now owned by Godolphin rather than Sheikh Mohammed, could take on Fascinating Rock again having chased him home in the Ballysax. Bolger could also run Mandatario. The Ger Lyons-trained Obliterator, second to Godolphin's Derby hope True Story in the Feilden Stakes, is also in the mix. John Oxx's Ebanoran, Johnny Murtagh's Altruistic and Paul Deegan's Aussie Valentine are also among the 13.
