The Epsom Derby field of 14 runners lines up for Saturday's 4pm Classic, with Benvenuto Cellini leading the market for trainer Aidan O'Brien. The colt impressed in the Chester Vase and now faces stablemates Item and Pierre Bonnard among the leading contenders. James J Braddow represents Joseph O'Brien's yard from stall 13.

Three Weekend Winners experts unanimously back Benvenuto Cellini for Derby glory. Declan Rix draws parallels to City Of Troy's 2024 victory, citing the colt's guaranteed stamina and mental fortitude. He notes the ground won't be as testing as the Futurity Stakes conditions that saw Benvenuto Cellini handle soft ground effectively. Kate Tracey selected the horse ante-post in October and loves his Chester Vase performance under penalty.

Sam Boswell takes an each-way position on Maltese Cross, arguing the William Haggas-trained contender will finish strongly despite a narrow debut defeat at Ascot. All three pundits agree the race will favor those who stay the demanding twelve-furlong trip, with Benvenuto Cellini emerging as the standout choice for the British Classic.
