Forecasts

Bolshoi Ballet (11/8), Hurricane Lane (6/1), Mohaafeth (6/1), Mac Swiney (8/1), John Leeper (8/1), One Ruler (17/2), Third Realm (14/1), Adayar (16/1), Youth Spirit (25/1), Southern Lights (33/1), Mojo Star (50/1), Gear Up (50/1)

It's very notable that the hugely-exciting BOLSHOI BALLET is the only runner for Ballydoyle and he can give Aidan O'Brien a stunning ninth Derby this century, 20 years on from his sire Galileo's victory. He won the two main Irish trials impressively and should have even more to offer over this longer trip. Mohaafeth, Hurricane Lane and Irish 2000 Guineas-winner Mac Swiney complete the shortlist.
