Epsom Derby

14 will head to post for the 147th annual running of the Derby.

The Epsom showpiece will be contested for a staggering £2m this year and Aidan O'Brien is out to create history by becoming the first trainer to saddle four consecutive winners of the race.

Auguste Rodin, City Of Troy and Lambourn took this in 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively and he is yet again blessed with a strong hand, spearheaded by the impressive Benvenuto Cellini.

The Master of Ballydoyle is represented by a further three runners, including Action who is a full brother to last year's winner Lambourn.

Connections of Benvenuto Cellini will be pleased with there posting of 12 given Aidan O'Brien trained both Australia and Serpentine to win from that gate in the past.

Despite not appreciating the recent rainfall at Epsom, Charlie Johnston will be very happy with stall 10 for Ancient Egypt. Not only is it the winning-most stall in the race's history with 11 wins from 55 races, it has also accounted for three of the last eight winners.

Horses drawn from 2, 16, 20 and 11 have never won the Derby so backers of Balzac and Action will have plenty of history to overcome when 16:00 BST rolls around this Saturday.
