The Derby 2027 Betting Odds

Saturday 5 June 2027 · Epsom Downs · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

Aidan O'Brien has a couple of lively chances when it comes to the Derby, with the Irish handler having been the most successful trainer in the history of the race. He has scored on three successive occasions coming into this race, with Auguste Rodin, City Of Troy and Lambourn having scored and perhaps he will be victorious again.

Constitution River has earned three straight wins leading into this encounter and could be the one to back, with Benvenuto Cellini a stablemate who could also be close to a victory. Then there's Item who boasts a flawless record and perhaps this runner will deliver for trainer Andrew Balding based on some excellent efforts.

2026 Epsom Derby Betting Tips

The first three in the betting market for the Epsom Derby have a clutch of wins between them. Constitution River has collected three straight victories since finishing second at Newmarket back in July. That was in a maiden stakes race and was followed by a success at Galway before winning the Group Two Futurity Stakes over seven furlongs.

That effort was achieved by two lengths, with the 5/6 favourite running well on good ground. A seasonal debut was enjoyed by a comfortable seven lengths at Chester. Yes, the horse had too much class for the other runners but there could be more to come and we're happy to side with Constitution River to land the spoils.

If that horse doesn't oblige for O'Brien, perhaps Benvenuto Cellini could instead be in the winners' enclosure. This horse also scored a fairly comfortable win at odds of 2/9 when triumphing by over four lengths. However, the runner fell short as the 7/4 favourite in the Futurity Stakes and perhaps the heavy ground accounted for that shortcoming.

Then we have Item. The Andrew Balding-trained charge hasn't slipped up yet and it's been three straight wins for the horse. The last appearance came at York where a victory by nearly three lengths happened in the Dubai Dante Stakes. Back in September, the horse obliged at Bath after an all-weather triumph at Kempton Park.
