Ross Aylward of BettingPro.com is convinced that Kite Wood at 25/1 odds is the way to go.
"He was just about the best of these at two when with Michael Jarvis, and went into the winter as second favourite for the Derby after running out a a convincing winner of a Group 3 race at Ascot in October. Now with Godolphin, he shaped pleasingly when fifth in the Dante on his reappearance, as connections had expected him to need the run, and his breeding suggests he's going to flourish over this sort of distance. Frankie Dettori, who steered Authorized to victory two years ago, takes the ride."
The Investec Derby goes off at 3:45 pm GMT
