The Lion In Winter drawn widest of all in Derby 

SOMETHING TO PROVE: The Lion In Winter lost his unbeaten record in the Dante at York and now has the widest draw of all to overcome in the Derby.  Picture: Niall Carson/PA 

The Lion In Winter will have to defy stall 19 if the one-time ante-post favourite for the Betfred Derby is to bounce back at Epsom, where he has been overlooked by Ryan Moore in favour of Delacroix.

Aidan O'Brien's colt —  who will be ridden by Colin Keane — lost his unbeaten record in the Dante and as well as aiming to emulate Workforce in overcoming defeat at York to prevail in the blue riband, he now has the widest draw of all to overcome.
