The Derby odds for this Saturday's big race has the John Oxx trained Sea The Stars as favourite, despite the fact hat Aidan O'Brien has a six strong contingent in the race all with winning claims. Sea The Stars however has possibly the biggest claim of all having won the 2000 Guineas at the beginning of May, with Mick Kinane his jockey believing that he will get the 1½miles at Epsom comfortably.
If there is a doubt, then it lies with the ground, Oxx would not like it too firm, but with the threat of rain before the race and watering at the course this problem should be alleviated. Sea The Stars is currently 3/1 with Boylesports

Of the O'Brien six, it is difficult to get a handle on who is really there number one contender. Fame And Glory looked like the real deal after winning the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial, but with the stable having also won a couple of other trials including the Dante Stakes with Black Bear Island the picture is unclear. Lead stable jockey, Johnny Murtagh has elected to ride Rip Van Winkle, who finished fourth in the 2000 Guineas and it is not 100% sure if he will get the trip.
With eight Irish horses in the race from 13 runners, it certainly seems likely that they will have the winner of the race and if we had to nail our colours to the mast on this one we would advise Black Bear Island, who interestingly will have Ryan Moore on board and not his Dante jockey, Colm O'Donoghue, who instead will be riding Golden Sword. Black Bear island is 8/1 with Stan James
11/4 Sea The Stars, 4/1 Fame And Glory, Rip Van Winkle, 7/1 Gan Amhras, 8/1 Black Bear Island, 12/1 Masterofthehorse, 20/1 Age Of Aquarius, Kite Wood, 25/1 Crowded House, 33/1 Golden Sword, 40/1 Bar
