Doublemint is favourite for Derby

- MICHAEL CLOWER

DOUBLEMINT has been installed 18-10 favourite with World Sports Betting to give weight all round in the Highlands Stud Winter Derby at Kenilworth on Saturday with distance winner Rock My Soul on 7-2.

The Brett Crawford-trained Spring Man is next on 4-1 and Bernard Fayd’Herbe’s mount Ancestry on 11-2.

Other prices are 7-1 Love Happens, 141 Ballad Of The Sea, 16-1 Power Tower, 18-1 Man About Town and 22-1 Pacific Chestnut.

For the most part the prices mirror those posted for the original Winter Derby meeting a fortnight ago but the record-priced Charles, who made a winning debut little more than three weeks ago, is a fascinatin­g addition to the Langerman line-up.

Corne Orffer’s mount is 3-1 second favourite with the unbeaten One World heading the market at 5-2.

Jeff Lloyd’s tip Asharani won in a common canter on debut at Ipswich yesterday.

Unfortunat­ely half Australia seemed to know about the filly and she was returned no better than 1-2.
