Auguste Rodin remains at the forefront of Aidan O'Brien's plans for next month's Betfred Derby despite the colt's no-show in the 2,000 Guineas on Saturday. O'Brien will seek a record-extending ninth Derby win next month and on Monday he maintained a trip to Epsom is still the plan for Auguste Rodin after he failed to make an impact at Newmarket. The Ballydoyle trainer described the 2,000 Guineas as a "non-event" for Auguste Rodin and Little Big Bear, who finished 12th and 14th respectively, with the pair affected by interference in the early stages of the Classic.
James Ferguson will be on a fact-finding mission when his Derby contender Canberra Legend steps up in trip in next week's Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes at York. "The Dante will determine where we go, whether England, France or neither," said Ferguson.
The Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot are likely to form the focus of debate for Saeed bin Suroor and Godolphin as to where they aim Classic heroine Mawj.
