Monte added to Derby field
The Mark Johnston-trained colt could be the one to end Aidan O’Brien’s domination of the Classic after connections decided to pay the €150,000 to put the impressive King Edward VII Stakes winner into the big race.
O’Brien’s Jan Vermeer is the general 2-1 favourite and the Investec Derby fourth is one of five possibles from the Ballydoyle stable.
