Just two Lingfield Derby Trial winners have gone on to Epsom glory since 1998 but ANTHONY VAN DYCK (2019) belatedly followed HIGH RISE (1998) in achieving the feat, while 2021 Derby winner ADAYAR previously finished second in the Lingfield race. Impressive Lingfield winner ENGLISH KING finished fifth in the 2020 Derby.
