Give me a shot at third Derby win

I WANNA horse! The Investec Derby Trials are over now and the picture for Epsom on June 2 is clearer but I am not sure what I might ride. I am hopeful of picking up a mount to give me a shot at winning the Derby for a third time. I’ve ridden in the race 22 times. But the boss, trainer John Gosden, has decided Epsom is not for Sevenna Star, the horse on which I won the Sandown Classic Trial, and Epsom Trial winner Crossed Baton, who was subsequently seventh in last week’s Dante Stakes at York. Both head to Royal Ascot. It’s also been decided my Lingfield Derby third Corelli is still learning. He might be a St Leger contender later in the season. John and owner Sheik Fahad Al-Thani have yet to decide whether they will send Roaring Lion to the Derby after he followed his 2,000 Guineas fifth by winning the Dante impressively under jockey Oisin Murphy. The alternative is to send Roaring Lion to the two-furlong shorter French Derby. I was impressed with him. The pace was slow early in the Dante but the best horse definitely won and Roaring Lion was head and shoulders above everything else. At the moment, the obvious two contenders for the Derby are him and Aidan O’Brien’s 2,000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior.
