Verdict

An interesting Derby trial, despite a small field, and Godolphin's exciting prospect MAHO BAY may extend his winning sequence. The dangers are headed by Aidan O'Brien's Isaac Newton, who may prove a different proposition over a longer trip with a run under his belt, while hat-trick seeking Maltese Cross could be smart and will relish the extra distance.

  1. MAHO BAY
  2. ISAAC NEWTON (IRE)
