Racing tips: Young Rascal's Derby day?

Aidan O’Brien’s runner has been a hot favourite to land a second Classic since winning the 2000 Guineas, but the handler’s worries over the ground, combined with a tricky draw, could well open the door for his rivals.

Young Rascal can duly grasp that opportunity and make the quantum leap from Newbury maiden winner in April to Derby winner.

Wilamina ran a cracker on her return at Newmarket and should be in the mix again in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes.

True Valour can go well as a decent price in the Investec Diomed Stakes, while Blue De Vega could be the solution to the conundrum that is the Investec Corporate Banking “Dash” Handicap.

Away from Epsom, Madeline can get a nice confidence boost in the Stobo Castle Ladies’ Day Gold Cup Fillies’ Stakes at Musselburgh.
