Coolmore also have a Galileo contender in the mix here and he’s making his third start in less than a month for this race.

He boasts a textbook stalking style and punters can expect to see that deployed in the Epsom Derby. Based on where the draw places him in respect to Dawn Approach, you can expect him to probably stay at or around the favourite if possible.

They boast a similar type of in-race placement and will look to make a move at or around the same time. Look for him around 11/2 but the prior losses on his record make him a little less appealing than some of the other undefeated charges in the mix for this one. 

German-bred Chopin looks to continue that countries recent success in major Group 1 contests in other countries. Germany has always had a strong program but the recent spate of success has resulted in them getting a lot more respect from the bettors and the bookmakers alike. 

The lightly-raced son of German stallion Santiago out of a Galileo mare, he scored in a Group 3 contest in his seasonal debut this year back in April. That race does leave question marks over whether he will actually be able to get the distance or not with that race only having been just over a mile and half a furlong. He did triumph by a stellar eight lengths (a great performance for a 16/5 shot pre-race) in that Group 3 and by nine lengths in his maiden score last November. 

Currently trading around 10/1 he will probably go off at a higher price on the day.
