Punters are looking for an alternative at Epsom after the favourite’s dismal failure at Newmarket

Twenty colts, including a £75,000 supplementary entry and 10 trained in Ireland, remain in the running for the 2024 Derby at Epsom on Saturday after Monday’s five-day declaration stage, and Aidan O’Brien’s City Of Troy, beaten at odds-on in the 2,000 Guineas earlier this month, still heads the betting at about 9-4. The memory of the favourite’s dismal showing at Newmarket, however, may persuade many backers to hunt for a viable each-way alternative, and the good news for value-seekers is that there will be a long list of dark horses and live outsiders to consider.

There have been many Derbys in the past that revolved around one horse and one performance, but the performance in question has tended to be an impressive success, in the Guineas or one of the traditional Epsom trials. To back the favourite for the 2024 edition, however, punters need to forgive a blowout, which for betting purposes at least should make for a fascinating contest.

The mare is a clear pick at generous odds to make the most of her heaven-sent opportunity in the Temple Stakes

Dan Cooper, Haydock’s clerk of the course, conceded earlier this week that the decision to water the track on Tuesday looks “questionable” in the light of subsequent significant rainfall, but there are unlikely to be any complaints from the connections of Vadream (1.50) ahead of the Group Two Temple Stakes there on Saturday.

Charlie Fellowes’s mare put up a useful performance to finish a length behind the three-year-old Seven Questions – who is also in Saturday’s field – on good ground at Newmarket earlier this month, but she is ideally suited by plenty of cut.

Conundrum of what is best for the sport conflicting with what is best for a horse rears its ugly head once again

Lucinda Russell described the decision to retire Corach Rambler, her 2023 Grand National winner, as one “laced with sadness” yet “joyous” last week and the gelding’s many fans and backers knew exactly what she meant. Cheaply bought and owned by a syndicate who paid £3,000 a share, Corach Rambler’s rise through the chasing ranks to win twice at the Cheltenham festival and then land jumping’s most famous and valuable race was an unalloyed feelgood story that also seems to have concluded a chapter or two too soon.

Corach Rambler was, after all, the first British-trained horse across the line when he finished third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. At 10 years of age, he is, officially at least, qualified for “veterans” events, but reaching double figures has not prevented stars including Sprinter Sacre, Cue Card, Silviniaco Conti, Faugheen and Un De Sceaux from adding Grade One wins to their record in the past decade. Corach Rambler’s final race, when he was pulled up in the Punchestown Gold Cup last month, was his 15th start over fences.

Punters in search of an each-way alternative to unproven market leaders alight on Ambiente Friendly and Los Angeles

The betting for the Derby at Epsom on 1 June lost another significant player on Friday when Arabian Crown, the Godolphin operation’s leading candidate for the Classic, was ruled out after suffering a setback at Charlie Appleby’s Newmarket stable. His absence leaves Ancient Wisdom, the runner-up in the Dante Stakes here on Thursday, as the only likely Derby runner for Appleby’s stable as he seeks a third win in the Epsom Classic since 2018.

Arabian Crown, who won three of his four races last season including the 10-furlong Zetland Stakes at Newmarket in October, was one of the first three-year-old colts to establish himself as a serious Derby contender when he took the Classic Trial at Sandown on 26 April by three-and-a-quarter lengths.
