Verdict

A fascinating trial for the Derby back here in June. DEE EX BEE rates as the type to have improved over the winter and given he's already showed a good attitude to win races, he could be hard to beat here for a trainer who has them ready to go on seasonal reappearance. Crossed Baton represents John Gosden, the winning trainer of this race for the last three years, and he ran well on return at Kempton last time. James Cook is likely to improve this year and is a 33/1 shot in the betting for the Derby. Many of O'Brien's runners have been in need of the run first up this term though and others make more appeal.
