Forecasts

Anthony Van Dyck (5/4), Madhmoon (5/2), Broome (5/2), Norway (16/1), Rakan (18/1), Sovereign (33/1), Il Paradiso (40/1), Guaranteed (50/1)

Verdict

A case can be made that Madhmoon would have finished closer or possibly won the Epsom Derby with a clear passage earlier this month but with Aidan O'Brien's ability to improve his three-year-olds throughout the campaign, slight preference is for ANTHONY VAN DYCK. The son of Galileo could be hard to beat if he continues his progression and he's the pick of stable jockey Ryan Moore. Broome was involved in the finish that day and is another to consider while Rakan is one at a bigger price that may be able to outrun his odds.
  1. Anthony Van Dyck
  2. Madhmoon
  3. Broome
