Ancient Wisdom Derby Odds: Godolphin star 4/1 to land Epsom Classic

Matt Gibbs Updated: 31 May 24 06:49

The Charlie Appleby-trained three-year-old Ancient Wisdom has been priced up at 4/1 to win the 2024 Epsom Derby on Saturday afternoon.

The Godolphin colt made his return when going off as favourite for last month's Dante Stakes at York, but he could only finish second and six lengths behind impressive winner Economics.

It is Ancient Wisdom's sensational juvenile campaign in 2023 that makes him the stand out British contender this weekend, as Appleby targets his third Derby triumph.

He faces some stern opposition in his quest to follow in the footsteps of Masar and Adayar, but Ancient Wisdom, who will have champion jockey William Buick on board once more, should not be underestimated.

Wins in the Autumn Stakes and the Futurity Trophy at the end of last season gave an indication of his potential, and he could thrive in one of the most open-looking renewals of The Derby in recent memory.

The son of Dubawi has enjoyed success in the expected softer conditions and with 10 of the last 12 Derby winners breaking from stalls in the higher half of the draw, a stall 11 berth might just make all the difference.
