Summary
Aidan OBrien eyes history at Epsom this Saturday, chasing his record 12th Derby win and an unprecedented fourth straight triumph. With seven horses entered and Benvenuto Cellini leading the charge after his French Derby win, the Ballydoyle stable boasts depth with Pierre Bonnard and Causeway also in contention. Joseph OBrien adds James J Braddock to the Irish hopes. OBrien’s past dominance, including a 2012-2014 hat-trick and last year’s second-string winner Lambourn, proves his team’s resilience. On the British side, unbeaten Dante winner Item, trained by Andrew Balding, leads the charge alongside Maltese Cross and Proposition. Ground conditions are good to firm, and OBrien plans to field multiple runners, including Dante’s second and third, to maximize his chances in a fiercely competitive field.
