Vodafone Derby, Epsom, 1m 4f, 1620 BST, Saturday 2 June (Number, form, horse's name, age, weight, jockey, trainer)BBC pinsticker's choice: 1 Authorized 2 Salford Mill 3 Archipenko
1 12 ACAPULCO 3-9-0 Fran Berry Aidan O'Brien IRE Had a promising run on his debut in Navan and shows promise but with only two runs to date, lack of experience could be a disadvantage to his chances here. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 40-12 131-71 ADMIRALOFTHEFLEET 3-9-0 Seamus Heffernan Aidan O'Brien IRE The winner of last year's Royal Lodge Stakes and had an impressive victory in the Dee Stakes at Chester over 1m 2f and will relish the longer trip this time. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 16-13 31-51 ANTON CHEKHOV 3-9-0 Declan McDonogh Aidan O'Brien IRE Named after the famous Russian playwright but form so far has resulted in mixed reviews. Another one who should benefit from the longer distance. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 40-14 32-1 AQALEEM 3-9-0 Richard Hills Marcus Tregoning Claimed his first win with success in the Lingfield Derby trial and is a serious contender here but with only three starts so far, the best could be in the future. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 10-16 021-1 ARCHIPENKO 3-9-0 Mick Kinane Aidan O'Brien IRE The leading challenger from the Aidan O'Brien camp. Won the Derrinstown Stud Trial at the Curragh so definitely has the ability and is one for the shortlist. Rating: 8/10 Odds: 8-17 31-1 AUTHORIZED 3-9-0 Frankie Dettori Peter Chapple-Hyam Can the favourite give Frankie Dettori a first Derby win in 15 attempts? A real class act, as shown by his Dante Stakes win and definitely the one to beat. Rating: 9/10 Odds: 4-58 2214-5 EAGLE MOUNTAIN 3-9-0 Johnny Murtagh Aidan O'Brien Finished fourth behind Authorized in the Racing Post Trophy last year and fifth in the 2000 Guineas. He could see out the trip and sneak a place. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 14-110 512-23 KID MAMBO 3-9-0 Joe Fanning Terry Mills Chased home leading Oaks fancy Light Shift on his seasonal debut at Newbury and fared well in the Lingfield Derby trial. Likely to be outclassed here, however. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 100-11142 LEANDER 3-9-0 Mark Gallagher Brett Johnson Finished second in an ordinary Salisbury race last time and yet to get off the mark. Very long odds and unlikely to feature in this company. Rating: 3/10 Odds: 500-112 211 LUCARNO 3-9-0 Steve Drowne John Gosden Won at Kempton and Newmarket in the space of three weeks and has great potential. Should not be ruled out if connections opt to run him. Rating: 6/10 Odds: 33-1 13 911 MAHLER 3-9-0 Pat Smullen Aidan O'Brien IRE Taking a big step up in class, although won in his second start at Leopardstown, took a Classic trial at Gowran Park and is a decent each-way chance. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 33-1 14 010-17 PETARA BAY 3-9-0 Dane O'Neill Terry Mills Owned by wife of F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone but unlikely to find the gears needed here. However, breeding suggests he should stay the trip. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 66-1 15 4127-1 REGIME 3-9-0 Martin Dwyer Michael Bell Easily beaten by Authorized in the Racing Post Trophy last year but came from last to first to win the Sandown trial. A good each-way bet. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 16-1 16 2-121 SALFORD MILL 3-9-0 Ted Durcan David Elsworth Finished second to Petara Bay before impressing at Newmarket last time out. A big step up in class, but cannot be ruled out. Rating: 8/10 Odds: 14-1 17 212-11 SOLDIER OF FORTUNE 3-9-0 Wayne Lordan Aidan O'Brien IRE Has shown battling qualities and is proven to stay. Pipped Arabian Gulf in the Chester Vase last time out but a lack of speed may prove his undoing at this level. Rating: 7/10 Odds: 14-1 18 5113-8 STRATEGIC PRINCE 3-9-0 Eddie Ahern Paul Cole Showed good form in finishing third in the Dewhurst behind Teofilo and Holy Roman Emperor and ran well when racing on the wrong side in the 2000 Guineas. Rating: 6/10 Odds: 16-1 19 73-502 YELLOWSTONE 3-9-0 Colm O'Donoghue Aidan O'Brien IRE Never better than midfield in the 2000 Guineas but finished second to Archipenko in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown. Likely to be outclassed in this company. Rating: 5/10 Odds: 33-1
