Investec Derby and Oaks tips, race-by-race guide, form, betting, video replays, TV times and info, jockeys, trainers & more

There's a new look to the Investec Derby Festival this year with the Derby and Oaks both run on the same afternoon at Epsom.

Here is your one-stop shop ahead of a massive Saturday.

Investec Derby Festival: Key info

• When: Saturday July 6
• Where: Epsom Racecourse, Surrey
• TV info: ITV Racing and Racing TV
• Race times: 1.50-5.35

The Derby and Oaks on the same day - that's new - but then again so is much of 2020.

What's also new is Aidan O'Brien doesn't dominate the betting market for the Investec Derby. His team is led by Mogul, Russian Emperor and Vatican City but in their way are QIPCO 2000 Guineas winner Kameko and impressive Lingfield Trial winner English King, who has the assistance of Frankie Dettori in the saddle.

It's a different story in the Oaks, where Love heads the betting following her victory in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas. She's followed by Frankly Darling, who could achieve an unprecedented modern-times double: winning the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot first, then going on to land the Investec Oaks. Both were put up at big prices in our Antepost Angle preview by Matt Brocklebank.
