Libertarian, who did not quite have the initial acceleration to match the winner at the top of the straight, passed four horses inside the last 100 yards to get up for second on the line when he did eventually hit his stride.

Dont be surprised if he steps up on what he did on Saturday, Burke said. If theyd gone a true gallop Im not saying hed have beaten Ruler Of The World but hed have been a bit closer.

"I think it would have enabled William [Buick] to have him in a slightly better position. As it was they were quite stacked up.

We were very pleased with him. We never normally feed them before they come home but they were late leaving the course after the race and the lads gave him a feed at Epsom, he polished off his haynet on the way home and had another feed when he got home at 11.30. Hes got a fantastic constitution.

The fallout from the Derby continued around Europe with Andr Fabre nominating the Grand Prix De Paris for Ocavango, fifth on Saturday.

He could have finished closer, Fabre said, but he met two bits of trouble its only what happens at Epsom all the time.

Fabre also plans to drop Sundays impressive French Derby winner, Intello, back to a mile for the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville in August.

I think he will stay 12 furlongs if we want to run him in the Arc, he said. It is an unorthodox route to Longchamp in October and the obvious implication is to hold your bets for the Arc.

Andreas Wohler will drop Chopin, the first German horse in the Derby, back in trip. He didnt stay, he said of the colt, who finished seventh.

Frankie Dettoris search for a first winner since his ban moves on to Yarmouth, where he has four rides on Tuesday night. He was out of luck on his only mount at Windsor on Monday night but Movementneverlies was more competitive than his three previous domestic rides when finishing fourth behind Haley Turners mount, Harry Bosch, in the mile handicap.
