Templegate’s Epsom Derby 2023 tip
Our top tipster thinks Sprewell can win for Jessica Harrington.
Templegate said: “He was impressive when taking the Leopardstown Derby Trial and looks tailormade for Epsom.”

Epsom Derby prediction
Military Order is a brother to 2021 winner Adayar.
Already Military Order has won the races Adayar couldn’t – suggesting he could be ahead of his brother at the same stages in their careers.
His win round the tight and twisting Lingfield in the trial was mega impressive, especially as that track is the opposite of what suits him.
The Godolphin runners are big brutes, unflashy and Military Order looks to be sound, aware of what his job is.
