Verdict

It's the turn of the apprentices to have their own Derby over the classic distance today. Jupiter Custos has already finished second in the Amateurs’ Derby and the Jump Jockeys’ Derby over course and distance this year and Georgia Cox is good value for her 3lb claim in races of this nature. Glens Wobbly and Medburn Cutler are consistent types at this level but are facing some improving three-year-olds. Senza Una Donna and Fandango are both chasing hat-tricks but so is GUNS OF LEROS, who has come on a bundle since stepped up to 1m4f and looks the one to beat again. Testimonio won a Brighton maiden on his debut and has bags of scope while Kempton second Pointel will handle any give in the ground and is respected.
