There were no surprise withdrawals among the leading fancies for the Vodafone Derby at Epsom on June 10th after 32 horses stood their ground at yesterday's forfeit stage. Horses can still be supplemented for £75,000 on Saturday June 3rd.

Aidan O'Brien has left six horses in the contest, including last year's Racing Post Trophy winner Aristotle, who was demoted to third after finishing first past the post in the Prix Greffulhe at Longchamp last month.

The Ballydoyle trainer also has Apollo Victoria, Bach, Ciro, Giant's Causeway and Shakespeare in the race.

Henry Cecil has admitted it will be a "big challenge" to get his trio of hopes ready for Epsom.
