Disparity in price between York winner and Cracksman too big

Unsurprisingly bookmakers were falling over themselves to shorten the odds of Cracksman for the Investec Derby after the horse he narrowly pipped in Epsom’s Derby Trial, Permian, ran out a convincing winner of the Dante.

Some have Cracksman as joint-favourite now, but at four times the price in a couple of places perhaps the Dante winner is being overlooked.

You would be hard pressed to say his three-quarter-length victory over Benbatl was the performance of a Derby winner, but has that not been the case for all the Derby trial winners so far?
