COLTS that win the Derby by a wide margin do not come along every year. Lambourn became just the third horse in the last 10 years to win the Epsom classic by more than three lengths, though punters were left wondering afterwards if he will prove more of an Adayar (four-and-a-half-length winner in 2021) or a Serpentine (five-and-a-half-length winner in 2020).

Adayar won the King George on his next start while Serpentine took 18 runs to win again.
