Irish Derby 2027 Betting Odds

Sunday 27 June 2027 · Curragh · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

Christmas Day was the impressive winner of the English Derby and perhaps he will land the double at the Curragh. Aidan O'Brien will be confident that his charge can make a big impact and he also has Benvenuto Cellini lining up for this encounter over a mile and four furlongs. However, this is far from a two-horse race and Raaheeb could go well for Owen Burrows.

The latter has claimed two wins in his career to date, with James J Braddock having the potential to go well for Joseph O'Brien. He's secured a victory this season and the same applies to Hawk Mountain who is another Aidan O'Brien-trained runner who could make an impact. Look out for odds boosts and extra places.

2026 Irish Derby Betting Tips

Christmas Day won the English Derby and there's no reason to desert the same horse for the Irish equivalent. There was a victory by nearly three lengths at Epsom where the 7/1 shot was able to keep on well over soft ground. It came after a third-placed finish at York in the Dante Stakes in the middle of May when falling short as the 11/4 favourite.

Previously to this, the Aidan O'Brien-trained runner was able to score at Leopardstown at decent odds, with that coming in the Ballysax Stakes where the horse edged in front over one mile and two furlongs. Previously to this, there had been another win at the same Irish course after a success at Gowran Park.

Benvenuto Cellini had an odd time of things at Epsom when lining up as one of the Derby favourites only to get himself trapped in the stalls. That performance was subsequently voided although he's sure to have claims based on the previous effort at Chester. There was a victory by more than four lengths in the Chester Vase Stakes.

Raaheeb has racked up a couple of important victories, with the Owen Burrows-trained charge claiming an early September success at Ascot over seven furlongs. That came before a brilliant effort at April at Sandown Park over a further one mile and two furlongs. That was in the bet365 Classic Trial and he's sure to attract each-way money here.
