Vauban The Clear Melbourne Cup Favourite
The Willie Mullins-trained Vauban is this year’s Melbourne Cup favourite and it is very hard to oppose the Irish raider. This five-year-old has been running on the flat this summer and won top contests at Royal Ascot (see below) and Naas in the process.
Also, Vauban is a Cheltenham Festival hero, having won the 2022 Triumph Hurdle, so he knows all too well about winning top races.
The Rich Ricci-owned horse stormed home by seven and a half lengths in the Copper Horse Handicap at Ascot in June before winning the Group Three Ballyroan Stakes on his return to Ireland when seen last.
What a stunning performance from Vauban!

With four wins from six runs on the flat, connections will be confident Vauban can produce a career best effort for a race that he has been kept fresh for since August. He’s the Melbourne Cup favourite for a reason.
Ryan Moore will return to the saddle, after lifting him to victory at Ascot a few months back. Moore won this race in 2014 on Andreas Wohler’s Protectionist and is in good form having won two races at the Breeders’ Cup over the weekend.
