Racing:Aidan O'Brien is set to have four runners in Saturday's Investec Derby at Epsom, with Irish 2,000 Guineas hero Roderic O'Connor set to wait for the French Derby the following day.

The Ballydoyle handler is set to rely on Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial winner Recital, Dante Stakes runner-up Seville as well as Memphis Tennessee and Treasure Beach.

Speaking on Twitter, the trainer's wife Anne-Marie O'Brien said: "We hope to run Recital, Seville, Memphis Tennessee and Treasure Beach in the Derby on Saturday.

"It looks like Roderic O Connor will probably go to the French Derby next Sunday with Ryan Moore on board. We expect to finalise jockey arrangements sometime tomorrow."
