Aidan O'Brien's star colt was backed into favouritism for the Epsom Derby, following an impressive victory in the Chester Vase. Ryan Moore's mount was slowly away at Epsom and finished well down the field, but was deemed a non-runner after the race after footage showed his foot got caught in the stalls just as the gates burst open.

Benvenuto Cellini bounced back with an impressive triumph in the Irish Derby. Ryan Moore kept the faith in Aidan O'Brien's leading three-year-old, producing the favourite at the perfect moment to beat Epsom winner Christmas Day by almost two lengths.

Ryan Moore will take the ride on Benvenuto Cellini again on Saturday, where the three-year-old will be getting 11 pounds from the older runners at the weights. Benvenuto Cellini will be number nine on your racecard, and he'll wear the double green silks of owners Brant, Magnier, Tabor, Smith and Westerberg.
