103 Expert View: Bit below form on handicap debut beaten 5l in a handicap at Chester last time; suited by 7f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; carries head high and may be capable of more but will need to settle better.

Form Snapshot: He has won three times from 7f to 1m on good to firm and good to soft ground. Beaten 5l behind Mcmurray at 33-1 when seventh of 12 on his latest outing at Chester over 1m (good) earlier this month.

120 Expert View: Improved up in trip and class when winning Blue Riband Trial (Listed) at Epsom by 2 1/2l last time; trainer in form; stays 10f, should be suited by 12f, acts on good and AW; big, strong sort, more to come and leading Derby hope should be taking this.

115 Expert View: Ran about to form without threatening or being given a hard time when fourth beaten 8 1/4l in Chester Vase (Group 3) at Chester latest; cheekpieces first time; stays 12f, acts on any; big colt, still open to improvement but unlikely to make top-class.

Form Snapshot: A winner at 1m 2f on good ground. Finished 8l behind Benvenuto Cellini when fourth of 5 at 11-2 on his latest outing in the Group 3 Boodles Chester Vase Stakes at Chester over 1m 4f (good) earlier this month. He is wearing cheekpieces for the first time.

Form Snapshot: A winner at 1m on soft ground. Third of 5 behind Constitution River beaten 10l at 10-1 on his latest outing at Chester over 1m 2f (good) earlier this month.

Verdict

Tom Marquand has picked up the ride on Charlie Appleby's Del Maro and although well beaten in the Chester Vase after a slow start, he could do better here. SAXON STREET arrives unbeaten after comfortable wins at Chelmsford and Epsom and the fact that he remains entered in the Derby suggests the son of Saxon Warrior should go well here. Golden Story was third at Chester and could make the frame once again.

Top Tip: Saxon Street (2)
Watch out for: Del Maro (3)

SAXON STREET can continue his unbeaten run. He didn't beat much in the Blue Riband Trial last time but that effort still sets a clear standard on ratings and the way he powered through the line suggested this longer trip would deliver more. The leading Derby hope can defeat the experienced Del Maro who placed in the Zetland last year and has proven himself versatile ground wise. Golden Story wasn't disgraced behind the French Derby favourite last time and should appreciate this longer trip. He can fight for the runner up position without threatening the winner.
