The 243rd staging of the Group One Cazoo Derby at Epsom Downs on Saturday 4th June will have a field of up to 18 runners following today’s five-day confirmation and supplementary entry stage.
The two supplementary entries are Godolphin’s Nations Pride and the Stan Moore-trained El Habeeb, who were both added to the line-up today at a cost of £75,000.
Teofilo colt Nations Pride entered Cazoo Derby calculations when the seven-length winner of the Listed Newmarket Stakes at the QIPCO Guineas Festival at Newmarket on April 29th and is set to join stablemates Nahanni and Walk Of Stars as trainer Charlie Appleby aims for a third Derby success in five years following Masar in 2018 and Adayar 12 months ago.
Ante-post favourite Desert Crown also goes forward and will be out to hand his trainer Sir Michael Stoute a sixth Derby success, while Aidan O’Brien has Changingoftheguard, Star Of India and Stone Age still in the race, as he chases a record-extending ninth Derby victory.
The Cazoo Derby is part of the QIPCO British Champions Series.

DERBY DAY SET TO BE JUST FINE FOR THE QUEEN
The Queen is set to have a runner at Epsom Downs on Derby Day after her horse Just Fine was entered in the penultimate race of the afternoon.
Sired by the 2009 Derby hero Sea The Stars, the four year old gelding is trained by Sir Michael Stoute with Ryan Moore booked to ride.
Successful on two of his nine starts to date, with both of his victories coming at Sandown Park, Just Fine is entered in the World Pool Northern Dancer Handicap, staged over full the Derby course and distance of 1 mile and 4 furlongs and taking place at 5.15pm.
Just Fine made a promising start to his 2022 campaign when third in the competitive Jorvik Handicap over a mile and a half at York on May 11th.
Her Majesty will be hoping for a repeat of her success in the 1990s, when she had a winner at Epsom Downs on Derby Day twice thanks to Enharmonic (1993) who won the Group Three Diomed Stakes by a head, and Arabian Story (1997), who made all for an easy win in the Paknet Rated Stakes. Frankie Dettori was the successful jockey on both occasions, while both horses were trained by Lord Huntingdon.
