Her Majesty did have a horse running on derby day at Epsom but it appears to have been withdrawn. The Queen has a long history with the racecourse and has enjoyed the likes of jockeying legends Frankie Dettori and Willie Carson riding her horses. I ride for Andrew Balding and he’ll always say, ‘She’ll be watching!’

Desert Crown is the favourite to give Michael Stoute a sixth victory in the premier Classic.

The Derby inexperience of Desert Crown’s jockey Richard Kingscote could also be viewed as a negative for the favourite. He will obviously have to have taken a massive leap forward from that effort to land a blow here but he has reportedly done so and the step up to a mile and a half should really suit. In the absence of the injured Luxembourg, the Irish challenge is more solid than spectacular. The Charlie Appleby-trained Dubawi colt has a similar profile to last year’s hero Adayar in that he will arrive at Epsom having been turned over when expected to deliver in his Lingfield trial. One obvious concern for Desert Crown supporters is his lack of experience with Stoute himself admitting he’d have liked to given the son of Nathaniel a run or two extra ahead of his date with destiny. On recent history, there has to be.

There is no superstar from the two-year-old ranks here so a lot of the runners have run in Trials instead. He has been supplemented into this contest at a cost of £75,000 and Godolphin are on a roll having won with Adaayar last year and Massar previously. They have the likely market leader Blue Trail who won a decent race at Kempton in March. My main worry with War Horse is whether he will handle the track or not, but I was taken with his performance at Sandown with cheekpieces on.
