This, of course, means he doesn't think Casual Conquest improved an inch from the Derrinstown which he won easily when very probably left with plenty to work on. [/b]

I'd def question Smith's judgement on this, if it means what I think it means.

For Casual Conquest to come 3rd on only his third run in the Derby is terrific, and I can see loads of improvement there - as I said earlier he is the one to keep a close eye on here, as I think this experience will have taught him as much any horse in the race bar NA - possibly more; and it has to be a step up on the Derristown given the trickiness of the track surely?

My instinct is that speed figs from this Derby aren't going to mean much given the relatively slow early pace, however adjusted
