IN an open-looking edition of the Derby - with the biggest field since Kris Kin’s win in the race back in 2003 - punters might well put their faith in the classic’s most successful trainer in history, especially when he has three significant contenders in the mix.

Nobody has won the Betfred Derby more often than Aidan O’Brien’s whopping 10 victories, and the trio of Delacroix, The Lion In Winter and Lambourn are being relied on to capture the prize for Ballydoyle in a third consecutive year.
