I would absolutely love to see Oisin Murphy steer Telecaster to Derby glory, and it would be no more than the brilliant young rider deserves, but he will need to prove himself the equal Lester Piggott and Kieren Fallon to do so, as those are the only jockeys to have won the Derby from stall one or two since 1969.

Ignore Aidan O’Brien second-strings at your peril at Epsom is a lesson we should all have learned over the past decade, and while Pink Dogwood is fancied for the Oaks, the layers may be underestimating outsider Peach Tree, who ran to a similar level as the favourite over the same track and trip last time, and will improve.

There are few more likeable sprinters in training than the evergreen Kachy, but his vulnerability is that his run-style is pretty dependant on him having a bend or two to run around, and he’d make more appeal in Nottingham’s Greyhound Derby* than the Temple Stakes.
