Betfred Derby hero Lambourn will face a maximum of nine rivals when he bids to follow up in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on Sunday.
The son of Australia provided trainer Aidan O’Brien with an 11th victory in the premier Classic at Epsom and is set to turn out three weeks later in a bid to emulate his sire and several other past Ballydoyle stars in becoming a dual Derby winner.
