Michael Stoute insists Cazoo Derby favourite Desert Crown will not have to find much improvement from his Dante success to win the Epsom Classic.
The son of Nathaniel is one of the least experienced runners he has saddled in the showpiece, having had just two runs — an easy debut win at Nottingham in November and another on his return last month, when powering to victory at York.
