Running just 2.5 lengths behind Desert Crown in the Derby was Westover<\/strong>. With the Sandown Classic Trial win, a 3rd place in the Epsom Derby and a massive 7-length win in the Irish Derby, he has great form. His trainer, Ralph Beckett<\/strong> said after the surprise Irish Derby win, \u201cHe\u2032s a big horse and still a work in progress. He\u2032s going to get better with age\u201d – meaning this is a horse to keep your eye on, with odds of 5\/4.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

The bay colt, Desert Crown, is the second favourite after Westover (7\/4)<\/strong>. Sir Michael Stoute\u2032s champion crushed the competition at the Derby and has 3 wins from 3 starts<\/strong>. Desert Crown has certainly been earning his keep with total winnings of over \u00a31 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

The German thoroughbred Torquator Tasso<\/strong> (7\/1) is a 4-year-old colt.

He started as the 72\/1 outsider and won by \u00be of a length. Named German Horse of the Year 2021<\/strong>, he\u2032s amassed winnings of over \u00a32.9 million.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Unfortunately, the <\/strong>King George Ascot 2021 winner Adayar<\/strong> will miss the defence of her title due to fitness concerns. It\u2032s also been announced that another favourite of the bookies at 16\/1, Emily Upjohn<\/strong>, will be heading to the Irish Oaks instead of Ascot.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
