Its all about Zand today, Trading Leather sets the form standard but he had two hard races in the space of 9 days and has been up, down and now back up in trip. The Irish Guineas was hardly a strong renewal and he was used like a pacemaker, everyone wanted to slate the Dante form at the time but being such a weak year, Libertarian was entitled to place in the Derby on that run so I dont rate the form any higher than I did at the time. Hes a solid enough horse but you seen what Magician done to him and hes going to struggle against anything good. Oxx's are just starting to come right now and I get the feeling they rate this one a bit, he has had problems and is unproven on fast ground but Oxx has given him plenty of time and if he is a genuine classic horse he should take care of Trading Leather even at 85/90%, the 3 pounds should aid his cause. Ive had a little e/w at 14s for the Irish Derby just incase.
