The jockey was on board for a pre-Derby work-out in Ireland on and Weld confirmed both he and are happy with his preparation and state ahead of the Epsom showcase.


“Hazapour is in great form. came and rode him and I’m glad to say he was very pleased with him,” Weld said.


“It wasn’t that we did anything magical with him, we didn’t ask him to do anything spectacular. He’s an idle horse, a lazy colt, but Frankie was satisfied with him and I was very satisfied with him.


“He worked well and scoped clean. I looked at him as 12 o’clock (on Tuesday) and he was lying down asleep!


“Frankie just did what he wanted on him. It was a nice work out, he got a feel of him, and said he was a very balanced colt.”
