Much like in it's English counterpart last month, Aidan O'Brien emerges mob-handed for the Derby and is responsible for saddling five of the nine runners including Epsom hero Wings Of Eagles. Whilst for most he was a shock winner of the English Derby, he displayed stamina in abundance and despite arriving on a slightly softer surface today, he does have retained rider Ryan Moore aboard. This race has been dominated by Irish trained winners over the past couple of decades, but WALDGEIST arrives as a major contender to add some flavour from France. Already a Grade 1 winner as a juvenile (Criterium de Saint-Cloud), he was agonisingly run down by Brametot in the dying embers of the French Derby at Chantilly last month. He's bred to stay this longer trip, but most importantly with showers forecast, he's fully adept on a softer surface, so he's the selection to break the O'Brien stranglehold on the Classics.
