Having watched his win at Newbury a few times, and his impressive debut at Kempton, I think 20/1 for Epsom is a decent bet.
He his still has bags of scope and has a turn of foot, and if he wins the Sandown Classic Trial ( admittedly a poor trial historically ) I think he'll go to Epsom with a serious chance.
I liked the was he picked up in the last couple of furlongs at Newbury, despite still looking green, and think he'll be even better over 12f.
Any news / quotes about him would be appreciated if anyone spots them.
Yes he was very impressive. I think 20s is fair although he obviously needs to improve a lot. You would want to see him move slightly easier into the race next time I wouldn't want him getting too far back at Epsom. It seems to be his style but in a bigger field on a less forgiving track it's not ideal.

not his fault as come from off pace to win, but pretty slow timefigures both starts barely make him a cl3/4 handicapper.
20/1 for a Derby is pretty meagre on that basis, though admit no idea how good he is until run against a stronger gallop
