2025 Epsom Derby Entries

In the last two years, Aidan O'Brien has won the Derby with his top juvenile colt from the previous year. O'Brien currently has the top two in the betting for this year's colt's Classic, with Delacroix moving to the head of the betting following back-to-back trials wins around Leopardstown.

City Of Troy and Auguste Rodin were both well beaten in the 2000 Guineas before claiming Derby glory and The Lion In Winter will be attempting a similar feat, having finished sixth in the Dante on his reappearance. O'Brien could also be represented by Lambourn, who finished second to Delacroix in the Ballysax before going on to land the Chester Vase on his nest start.

Ruling Court scored in the 2000 Guineas on his reappearance and Charlie Appleby has been training his Classic winner for Epsom ever since. Pride Of Arras thrust himself into the Derby picture with an impressive triumph over The Lion In Winter in the Dante Stakes at York.

Damysus and Wimbledon Hawkeye could head to Epsom after finishing second and third behind Pride Of Arras in the Dante. Ralph Beckett's Stanhope Gardens remains in the field, despite not running so far this term. Tornado Alert is a likely runner for Saeed bin Suroor, following his fourth-place finish in the 2000 Guineas.

Francis Graffard's Midak has been supplemented for the Derby, which will be run in honour of his late owner, the Aga Khan. Henri Devin's New Ground could also make the trip over from France. Other likely runners include Joseph O'Brien's Group One-winning juvenile Tennessee Stud, Chester Vase runner-up Lazy Griff, and Amo Racing's Listed winner, Tuscan Hills.
