G1 Vertem Futurity Trophy victor Kameko (Kitten's Joy) and G2 KPMG Champions Juvenile S. winner Mogul (GB) (Galileo {Ire}), at 12-1, are the shortest-priced among the 139 3-year-olds engaged in the June 6 G1 Investec Derby after the first scratching deadline.
Mogul is one of 47 entries for trainer Aidan O'Brien, who last year won his record-equaling seventh Derby with Anthony Van Dyck (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). O'Brien's sons Joseph and Donnacha each field four entries. Joseph O'Brien is a Derby-winning rider, having steered Camelot (GB) and Australia (GB) to victory for his father, while Donnacha O'Brien won the 2018 G1 Investec Oaks on Forever Together (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
Godolphin's champion 2-year-old Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal), trained by Charlie Appleby, is the 7-1 favourite for the Derby, but he is not yet entered, nor is Saeed bin Suroor's unbeaten G3 Autumn S. winner Military March (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), who is 16-1. John Gosden's 'TDN Rising Star' Waldkonig (GB) (Kingman {GB}), a half-brother to last year's G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Waldgeist (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), is 14-1.
