Epsom Derby News: Game on for Roger Varian's Eydon

Yet, that lack of experience over the Derby distance is a significant one but a trainer of Varian's calibre would obviously not make a Derby entry lightly and the the Guineas fourth shows Eydon does have speed.

18 runners are due to go to post on Saturday with the race live on ITV Racing and also screened across the world.

To update you on our plans with Eydon, regarding Derby choice: I'm pleased to say the horse is in great form, and following discussions with his owner, Prince A A Faisal, we plan to run in the Derby at Epsom on Saturday and not the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly on Sunday
