The lads are thinking about going for the Derby with Saxon Warrior. That seems to be the plan at the moment anyway. The Pentagon, Delano Roosevelt and Nelson will go for the Derrinstown at Leopardstown next. We've three [Hunting Horn, Family Tree and Flag Of Honour] in the Chester Vase on Wednesday while Kenya and Rostropovich run in the Dee Stakes on Thursday. Kew Gardens will run in the Lingfield Derby Trial and then some of those horses already mentioned could go for the Dante, depending on the weather.
