    Impressions? Looks to me he could still evolve into something special. Much scarier than brother Blackbeard!

    I’d have named him Darwin Nunez
    I wouldn’t write him off the back of his debut, wide, awkward, green enough
    Learn a lot more NTO

    Winner didn’t do him any favours over 1f out. Big baby physically and mentally too I imagine. He fairly shot out of the gate.

    Back out again tomorrow.
    I believe the track is an easier finish than the Curragh

    Into 4/6 from 10/11
    Short enough considering winning is hardly the absolute priority. Looking forward to watch Moore educate the little monster!

    Easy workout
    Looked much more straightforward this time
    He’s a big brute
    Plenty to like about him

    He looked amazing today, big rounded action might mean he’ll need cut but he’s got an engine on him and I likes him a lot.🤪 Jac

    Has he any entries before the Coventry? Couldn’t have learned much in Navan. Would have learned as much on Laytown Strand! Looked somewhat self-conscious on his debut. Surely needs another proper prep for the Royal Ascot cavalry charge :scratch:

    Very, very good, Ginger.

    At least, I think it is, but it’s all relative.

    Charles Darwin’s next expedition may be to the Antarctic Race at Naas racecourse on Sunday – where else!

    Einstein is a big lad. Interesting to see if hes a sprinter or a miler.

    Interesting that Charles Darwin drops back to 5F at Naas this afternoon. A Coolmore rep says that they’re seeing if he has the speed for the Norfolk, which suggests that Albert Einstein is clearly their number one for the Coventry.

    They’re probably just seeing if he breaks from the stalls sharply, Nathan.

    14.75-1 the double with Laddies, Coral and Sky Bet. Throw in Simply Astounding in the Albany and that goes up to 77.75-1. Pity there are no odds on the Chesham yet, as Ballydoyle’s colt, Italy, looked very useful at Leopardstown on Friday.

    Might have a few quid on the treble, and the Lucky 15 when Chesham odds come out.
