Race Tip

BENVENUTO CELLINI (2) can put a controversial G1 Derby run behind him. Was sent off favourite at Epsom but disappointed in midfield and later voided due to incident at the start. Better judged on highly impressive 4. 5L Chester Vase victory. Ryan Moore sticks with him which is a key indicator. One to beat if bouncing back. RAAHEEB (7) is looking to make it three in a row. Shaped like a top-class prospect when a 3. 25L winner of G3 Classic Trial at Sandown in April. Should relish conditions. Strong chance of staying unbeaten. CHRISTMAS DAY (4) is bidding to do the Derby double after a 2. 75L Epsom success. Has the top form on offer and key player even if Moore has chosen his stablemate. G1 Derby third JAMES J BRADDOCK (5) has to be a contender after a great run at Epsom. PIERRE BONNARD (6) is one to watch if he can bounce back.
