Epsom Derby 2024 full race card and tips – list of runners on Saturday

Despite flopping in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket last month, City Of Troy looks set to be sent off favourite for the Derby at Epsom on Saturday.

Aidan O’Brien is aiming for his tenth success in the 1m4f classic after Ylang Ylang finished sixth behind the Dermot Weld-trained Ezeliya in the Oaks on Friday. The Ballydoyle trainer runs three in the race, with the well-fancied Los Angeles and outsider Euphoric joining City Of Troy in the line-up.

Ancient Wisdom leads the charge for the UK as Charlie Appleby aims to win the Derby for a third time following the successes of Masar (2018) and Adayar (2021). The son of Dubawi finished second to Economics in the Derby.
