Three of his team ran in the Investec Derby – At First Sight finishing second at 100-1, the favourite Jan Vermeer fourth and Midas Touch fifth.

Cape Blanco disappointed in the French Derby after beating subsequent Epsom hero Workforce in the Dante Stakes at York, while Bright Horizon completes his nap-hand.

At First Sight has since gone on to finish fourth behind Monterosso in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot last week.

The winner, trained by Mark Johnston, was supplemented for €150,000 at Tuesday’s confirmation stage and will again be ridden by Frankie Dettori.

Monterosso, owned by the son of Dettori’s boss Sheikh Mohammed, has come through the ranks in spectacular fashion after opening his account in a maiden on the all-weather at Lingfield in January.

“He’s been showing all the right signs since Ascot. Everything’s perfect, touch-wood,” said Johnston.

“It’s a tall order for a horse to climb from handicaps to the Irish Derby in such a short space of time but he looks the part and the way he won at Ascot the form of that race puts him right there.

“He still showed greenness but he gets better with every run. He really looks the part now.”

With Dettori riding Monterosso, Kieren Fallon has been booked to ride Chabal - but connections have warned the Godolphin-owned colt will only run if the ground is suitable.

Jim Bolger’s pair of Carraiglawn and Puncher Clynch plus the Michael Bell-trained Coordinated Cut and David Simcock’s Dubawi Phantom complete the field.
