Camelot heads just 12 remaining entries for the Investec Derby at Epsom on Saturday.

There were no supplements into the blue rib and Classic, with the 2000 Guineas winner due to go off the shortest-priced favourite for years.

Trained by Aidan OBrien, he became Montjeus first winner of a Classic over a mile which led some to believe he could be a Triple Crown candidate.

OBrien has also left in Astrology, Father Of Science, Imperial Monarch and Tower Rock.

Andrew Balding, who won the Oaks in 2003 with Casual Look, is represented by second-favourite Bonfire, winner of the Dante Stakes at York.

David Lanigans Main Sequence is defending an unbeaten record after his victory in a trial at Lingfield, while Richard Fahey will have his first Derby runner in Mickdaam.

Rugged Cross, Thought Worthy, Minimise Risk and Hayley Turners mount Cavaleiro complete the possibles.
