Fremantle out as 12 declared for Derby The Sir Michael Stoute-trained Doctor Fremantle will not take his chance in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on Sunday as connections of the Epsom Derby fourth instead consider the Grand Prix De Paris next month, a race sponsored by his owner Prince Khalid Abdullah?s Juddmonte Stud. However the first three home in the Vodafone Derby will clash once again at the Curragh after 12 horses were declared this morning. Stoute relies solely on Tartan Bearer, who has half a length to make up on his Epsom conqueror New Approach. Five lengths behind New Approach at Epsom was Dermot Weld?s Casual Conquest, whose stablemate Winchester will also run. Aidan O?Brien, who has won the last two runnings of the Classic with Dylan Thomas and Soldier Of Fortune, runs five - four of whom ran at Epsom. Alessandro Volta, the mount of Johnny Murtagh, Bashkirov, Frozen Fire and Washington Irving all have ground to make up on New Approach, while Hindu Kush will also line up for Ballydoyle. John Gosden runs Sandown Classic Trial winner Centennial and Upton Grey. The latter was supplemented earlier in the week and is expected to take up pace-making duties for New Approach as both are owned by Princess Haya of Jordan. The Luca Cumani-trained Curtain Call will be out to prove his Epsom run was all wrong now he is reunited with Fran Berry, who rode him last year when in the care of Jessica Harrington. ca Harrington.
