This is rarely the strongest of Derby trials, but Aidan O'Brien's ILLINOIS is taken to double his tally having shaped as if better for the run when third in a Leopardstown Group 3 last month. He can get the better of Defiance, who took another step forward after 7 months off when runner-up in a listed event at Epsom recently, while The Euphrates, who finished a place ahead of the selection on return, should have more to offer, too.
