Ballydoyle have confirmed a six-strong squad likely to make up the Aidan O’Brien assault on the Investec Derby at Epsom next Saturday.

Aidan O’Brien is odds-on with William Hill and Ladbrokes to register a third success in the Investec Derby after Black Bear Island led home stablemate Freemantle for a one-two in the totesport.com Dante Stakes at York.

Following the success of Fame And Glory at Leopardstown on Sunday, Johnny Murtagh is keen to see how Black Bear Island gets on in his next race.

Free Agent, who provided the Queen with her first Royal Ascot winner for nine years in the Chesham Stakes, could have his next start at Doncaster.
