Odds quoted on the widget are Future Racing/Antepost prices which means that if your selection does not run in the race for whatever reason – you will lose your stake under traditional Antepost rules.

Ahead of the action at Epsom on Friday and Saturday week, champion jumps jockey turned pundit Ruby Walsh and top trader Frank Hickey looked ahead to the Derby, Oaks and Coronation Cup on the latest edition of Paddy Power’s From The Horse’s Mouth podcast.

Bolshoi Ballet

I’d be very surprised if Ryan Moore doesn’t ride Bolshoi Ballet. He was really good in the Derrinstown Derby Trial and he’d been good prior to that at Leopardstown where he beat Flying Visit. We all know Flying Visit is very hit and miss, but it was still a good win.

Bolshoi Ballet just looked incredible in the Derrinstown Derby Trial and he looks the real deal to me. You’ve got to go back a long way, the early 2000s, to find the horse who won the Derby after winning the Derrinstown Derby Trial but Bolshoi Ballet could be the next to do it. I’d say he’s my NAP!

El Drama

One I like and I’m only going off a bit of form is El Drama. He might be priced accordingly as he could be the second string of Roger Varian. His performance in the Dee Stakes was brilliant, where he beat Earlswood. Earlswood won at Curragh last weekend so it makes El Drama’s run even better. The form is there and it’s pretty strong, so El Drama is worth an each-way punt.

Mohaafeth

Mohaafeth, trained by William Haggas, won at Newmarket and beat Secret Protector and it was a good performance. Whether he could get the job done here, I’m not sure.
