Coolmore's Derby hero Lambourn (Australia) will renew rivalry with Epsom second and third, Lazy Griff (Protectionist) and Tennessee Stud (Wootton Bassett), and heads a field of 10 declared runners for Sunday's €1.25-million G1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby.
He is one of five contenders set to represent Aidan O'Brien and has been allocated stall five. Lazy Griff is alongside in four while Tennessee Stud is on the wing in stall 10.
The Ralph Beckett-conditioned G2 Dante Stakes winner Pride Of Arras (New Bay) is the only other Epsom runner backing up in Co. Kildare having posted a disappointing 17th in the Blue Riband. He has drawn stall eight and will be accompanied by stablemate Sir Dinadan (Camelot), who will depart from stall two.
The Marc Chan colours of Sir Dinadan will also be carried by Jessica Harrington trainee and G1 2000 Guineas sixth Green Impact (Wootton Bassett), who will load alongside Lambourn in stall six. Wootton Bassett is the numerically strongest sire with four declared and is also represented by Ballydoyle nominees Serious Contender and Thrice. The Aidan O'Brien quintet is completed by Puppet Master (Camelot) and Shackleton (Camelot).
