Take a chance on Hans in a non-vintage renewal

There we were all ready to put up Dermot Weld’s Zawraq as the most likely winner of this afternoon’s Investec Derby at Epsom and the horse goes and suffers a setback.

Weld has enjoyed success all over the world, but the Derby is really not his race and has to begin to wonder if he is actually destined to never win it.

A year ago his potentially brilliant Free Eagle was a live candidate, but injury forced him to miss the contest as well. That lightning should strike twice is obviously most disappointing.
