Auguste Rodin, who's been cut back into favouritism in recent days, was confirmed for the Derby on Thursday and Aidan O'Brien's star will burst out of stall ten. Auguste Rodin will be joined on the high side of the track by two of his stablemates, with San Antonio and Adelaide River being drawn in stalls 12 and 14 respectively.

Frankie Dettori will ride Arrest in his final Epsom Derby and John & Thady Gosden's colt has been drawn between the final Ballydoyle runners up in stall 13. Charlie Appleby will be pleased with Military Order's draw in stall eight. Jessica Harrington's Sprewell and Sir Michael Stoute's Passenger were placed in gates six and seven respectively.

Dante winner, The Foxes was placed in stall three, with Charlie Johnston's duo of Dear My Friend and Dubai Mile drawing stalls one and six. John Murphy's Irish raider, White Birch was placed in stall two - a berth which is yet to house an Epsom Derby winner.

King Of Steel will break from gate four on his first start for Roger Varian. Lingfield trial runner-up, Waipiro has been drawn wide in stall 11.
