FormscanBy Michael Graham - CHARLES DARWIN has to carry a penalty for winning in Navan, but should be up to it. This full-brother to the top-class Blackbeard powered away from his rivals to win by five and a-half lengths on soft ground. Afterwards, Aidan O'Brien commented that it could be the Coventry Stakes or Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot for him, so he looks to be a colt with a bright future. Joseph O'Brien's Spring Is Here started out in Listed company at the Curragh and acquitted herself well to be beaten just over two lengths into fourth, so that experience will stand to her. Cardiff By The Sea is a half-sister to a Listed winner so should be checked in the market along with the other newcomers.
