Following his victory at this afternoon’s Derby Trial at Epsom, Cape Of Good Hope has been added to the betting for the Investec Derby by our traders, landing as a 40/1 long-shot.

The colt’s win came by half a length from Cap Francais in the 2:45 at Epsom, who pressed towards the end but the horse ridden by Ryan Moore held on to take the victory.

Too Darn Hot still heads the betting for the Investec Derby at 5s, with Japan hot on his heels at 7s.

Cape Of Good Hope’s stablemates Ten Sovereigns and Magna Grecia head Coral’s betting for the Qipco 2,000 Guineas at 3/1 and 11/2 respectively, following the latest entry stage for the Newmarket Group One.
