Winter Derby Runners Down To Eight
At the final declaration stage eight runners will line-up for the Group Two Winter Derby – a race that will reward the winner with £62k. The John Gosden-trained Lord North currently heads the market @10/11 with BetUK, with the next best the William Haggas-trained Alenquer @11/4 with BetUK.
Did You Know? 13 of the last 19 Winter Derby winners came from the top three in the market
Can Trainer John Gosden Grab Another Winter Derby Winner?
Twelve months ago, we saw Forest Of Dean, who is priced @10/1 with BetUK for Saturday’s race, win the Winter Derby – and that was trainer John Gosden’s third straight win in the race. This horse lines up again to defend his crown but this year’s renewal looks a lot stronger.
Forest Of Dean is rated 107, but this year he’ll face his stablemate – Lord North, who is rated 123, plus the 115-rated Alenquer, who was last seen running 9th in the Prix de l’ Arc de Triomphe in October.
Fancy Man a Big Winter Derby Tip Against the Main Two?
Despite being rated just 109, many feel the Richard Hannon-trained Fancy Man @9/2 with BetUK can serve it up to the main two in the market after an easy 2 ¼ length win in the Winter Derby Trial at the track earlier this month.
He had King Of The South back in second that day and looks sure to have that horse’s measure again here. He’ll need to improve again to get competitive with the likes of Lord North and Alenquer, but we know he’s proven at the track and will head here race fit from a recent run – unlike his two rivals.
The concern would be that in the last 15 years we’ve only seen two Winter Derby Trial winners go onto win the Winter Derby that same season.
Winter Derby Tip and Prediction – Lord North @10/11 with BetUK
A fascinating renewal, but it’s hard to ignore the good record in the Winter Derby of trainer John Gosden. He clearly means business again with last year’s winner – Forest Of Dean – in the race again, but the class act here is his LORD NORTH @10/11 with BetUK.
This former Group One winner will find this drop into a Group Three a lot easier for this first run back, so the 336-day break isn’t’ too much of a worry. He’s a horse that’s gone well fresh anyway, and is 1-from-1 on the AW having won at Newcastle back in 2019.
The ratings suggest he’s got 8lbs in-hand with his nearest rival – Alenquer – so in theory would not have to be at the very top of his game to take this.
