Epsom Derby 2025: the pin-stickers' guide
It may not attract the attention it once did but the Epsom Derby remains one of the biggest days on the racing calendar and this year's renewal of the iconic race shapes as an intriguing one. Will Aidan O'Brien win a record-extending 11th premier Classic? Will 2000 Guineas hero Ruling Court stay for Godolphin? Can Galway jockey Rossa Ryan add a Derby to a CV that already includes an Arc? How will supplemented French pair Midak and New Ground fare? Questions aplenty and while we'll only know the answers shortly after 3.30pm on Saturday, here's our horse-by-horse guide to the 246th Derby. 1: Al Wasl Stom Trainer: Owen Burrows Jockey: David Probert Rating: 3/10 Odds: 100-1 Made all when getting off the mark at the third time of asking at Chester last month but likely to be out of his depth in this company. 2: Damysus Trainer: John and Thady Gosden Jockey: James Doyle Rating: 6/10 Odds: 12-1 Shaped well when second in the Dante and going a furlong and a half further could bring about further improvement. Each-way claims. 3: Delacroix Trainer: Aidan O'Brien Jockey: Ryan Moore Rating: 8/10 Odds: 11-4 Victorious in two Derby trials at Leopardstown and looks sure to stay the trip but the record of Dubawi colts in this Classic (0 from nine) is a niggling worry. 4: Green Storm Trainer: Charlie Johnston Jockey: Billy Loughnane Rating: 3/10 Odds: 40-1 Second in a weak French Group 1 as a juvenile but a record of one win from seven starts doesn't inspire confidence. 5: Lambourn Trainer: Aidan O'Brien Jockey: Wayne Lordan Rating: 6/10 Odds: 15-2 Second to stablemate Delacroix in the Ballysax before winning the Dee Stakes at Chester. Could be the pacesetter. 6: Lazy Griff Trainer: Charlie Johnston Jockey: Christophe Soumillon Rating: 3/10 Odds: 66-1 Like Green Storm, he was kept busy as a two-year-old and like his stablemate he struggles to get his head in front. 7: Midak Trainer: Francois-Henri Graffard Jockey: Mickael Barzalona Rating: 7/10 Odds: 12-1 Unraced at two, this supplemented French raider is unbeaten in three starts this season and looks an intriguing contender. 8: New Ground Trainer: Henri-Francois Devin Jockey: Alexis Pouchin Rating: 3/10 Odds: 25-1 Another supplemented French challenger but could only manage third in two starts this season. Unlikely to land a meaningful blow. 9: Nightime Dancer Trainer: Richard Hannon Jockey: Jamie Spencer Rating: 3/10 Odds: 100-1 Third in Lingfield Derby Trial behind two Ballydoyle colts not deemed good enough to make the trip to Epsom. Likely to struggle. 10: Nightwalker Trainer: John and Thady Gosden Jockey: Tom Marquand Rating: 5/10 Odds: 20-1 Fifth in the Dante, the Frankel colt should appreciate the step up in trip but may struggle to keep tabs on the leaders in the early part of the race. 11: Pride Of Arras Pride Of Arras and Rossa Ryan (light blue) winning The Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes Trainer: Ralph Beckett Jockey: Rossa Ryan Rating: 9/10 Odds: 5-1 An impressive winner of the Dante on only his second career start, this talented son of New Bay should have no issue with the trip. Massive player. 12: Rogue Impact Trainer: James Owen Jockey: Luke Morris Rating: 2/10 Odds: 70-1 Last of six at Lingfield last month and there's no logical reason why he should fare any better in this company. 13: Ruling Court Trainer: Charlie Appleby Jockey: William Buick Rating: 8/10 Odds: 10-3 If the 2000 Guineas hero stays, he'll win as his Newmarket triumph is undoubtedly the strongest form on offer. That's a significant if though. 14: Sea Scout Trainer: Simon and Ed Crisford Jockey: Harry Davies Rating: 4/10 Odds: 50-1 Ticks the track box having won at Epsom in April but saw his limitations exposed when eighth in the Dante last time out. 15: Stanhope Gardens Trainer: Ralph Beckett Jockey: Hector Crouch Rating: 6/10 Odds: 12-1 Got within a neck of Delacroix as a two-year-old and while his win at Salisbury last month proved little, he has better prospects than many here. 16: Tennessee Stud Trainer: Joseph O'Brien Jockey: Dylan Browne McMonagle Rating: 5/10 Odds: 28-1 A Group 1 winner in France last season but was firmly put in his place by Delacroix at Leopardstown last month. Hard to fancy. 17: The Lion In Winter The Lion In Winter and Stephen Gray pictured at Ballydoyle Stables. Pic: Healy Racing Trainer: Aidan O'Brien Jockey: Colin Keane Rating: 5/10 Odds: 6-1 Winter favourite for this Classic but surrendered his unbeaten record when sixth in the Dante. Being drawn in stall 19 is a further negative. 18: Tornado Alert Trainer: Saeed bin Suroor Jockey: Oisin Murphy Rating: 5/10 Odds: 20-1 Ran a big race at a big price when fourth in the 2000 Guineas but it's hard to see his stamina lasting over four furlongs further. 19: Tuscan Hills Trainer: Raphael Freire Jockey: David Egan Rating: 4/10 Odds: 66-1 Unbeaten in two starts as a two-year-old but could only manage seventh in the Dante last month. Little chance. Darren Norris' verdict History suggests opposing Team Ballydoyle in the Derby is an act of folly and it's easy to make a coherent case for Delacroix giving Aidan O'Brien a record-extending 11th win in the premier Classic. However, the Dubawi colt has looked more solid than spectacular in his Leopardstown wins so a chance is taken on PRIDE OF ARRAS landing the spoils for Arc-winning pair Ralph Beckett and Rossa Ryan. His lack of experience could be viewed as a negative but 2013 victor Ruler of The Word and 2022 hero Desert Crown had also only run twice before rocking up at Epsom and Pride Of Arras showed enough at York to suggest he has all the attributes required to become the 10th Dante winner since 1980 to go on to Derby glory. Should stamina prove Ruling Court's undoing, unbeaten French raider Midak can hit the frame at a decent price.

Irish trio battling to be crowned UK champion jockey as Oisin Murphy's odds cut
An Irish trio are in the running for the UK Flat Jockey Championships, with the season beginning at the start of the month. The bookies favourite so far is 24-year-old Rossa Ryan from Tuam, who was the 2023/24 British All-Weather Champion Jockey. Oisin Murphy has impressed with his early-season performances and now lies at joint-second favourite, with the reigning champion hoping to keep his reign going. Aiming to stop him will be 19-year-old Billy Loughnane, with the reigning All-Weather Champion hot on Murphy's heels. The season began with the Guineas Meeting in Newgarden on the 3rd of May, with Charlie Appleby's Ruling Court winning under William Buick. The final day of the championship season will be at Champions Day in Ascot this October. BoyleSports has slashed the odds on Oisin Murphy being crowned Champion Flat Jockey into just 2/1 (from 7/2) after a four-timer at Windsor on Monday increased his lead at the top of the table to five. The 29-year-old, who has won four of the last six flat jockey championships, is now rated the joint-second favourite alongside rising star, Billy Loughnane (2/1), who has already been crowned champion jockey on the all-weather last month and champion apprentice in 2024. Rossa Ryan remains the favourite at 6/4 with BoyleSports as the Arc winning rider looks to go one better than last year's campaign when finishing runner-up to Oisin Murphy, who had a colossal 53 winners in hand when the curtain came down on the season. In the trainers' battle, Aidan O'Brien remains an odds-on 8/11 shot for an eighth title, with Charlie Appleby (2/1), who has claimed the opening two Classics of the season, and current table topper Andrew Balding (6/1) leading the chasing pack. Brian O'Keeffe, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: 'It's very early days in the race to be crowned Champion Flat Jockey, but Oisin Murphy has really hit the ground running and punters are latching onto last year's champion to claim his fifth crown this season.' With plenty still to play for, it's clear that Ryan, Murphy and Loughnane are all going to be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
