    Verdict

    WALK OF STARS runs here rather than next week’s Dante at York having beaten only two rivals at Newbury on his reappearance. But Charlie Appleby’s colt is in the Derby unlike stablemate Natural World, who also won at Newbury on his debut with the re-opposing Lionel back in third. United Nations has already been beaten in a Derby trial when fourth in last month’s Blue Riband at Epsom and the Ballydoyle colt will need to improve on that while Zechariah steps up in trip having failed to feature in the Craven at Newmarket.
