Derby aim for Saint-Cloud winner Dubai Mile

Dubai Mile won the Criterium de Saint-Cloud at the weekend. It was a first Group One for rider Daniel Muscutt and a Group 1 for the sire, Roaring Lion. The Epsom Classic is a target for Dubai Mile's trainer Charlie Johnston. Dubai Miles will be trained with Classic aspirations next spring. The logical step will probably be Dante and Derby. Ahmad Al Shaikh has had both Khalifa Sat and Hoo Ya Mal placed in the Derby at big odds.

Derby aim for Saint-Cloud winner Dubai Mile. Recommended bets are advised to over-18s. National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133.
