15:59Having coughed up £85,000 for a place in the Derby, connections of Telecaster (4.30) were surely hoping for better accommodation than stall two, from which no Derby winner has emerged since starting stalls were introduced half a century ago. But that may prove only an inconvenience on his way to proving himself the best of these colts. While his background is not that of a conventional Derby winner, from a stable that rarely competes at the highest level and unraced until March, his performance in winning the Dante was thoroughly convincing. From the same stable, Anthony Van Dyck is more of a worry, as an experienced colt who impressed at Lingfield. Broome and Bangkok are both professional types and unbeaten this year but they have not yet shown the necessary quality.
