Super 16 set for Investec Derby

The Investec Derby is staged on Saturday 6 June and 16 contenders go forward for the premier Classic following the scratchings deadline. Staged over the famous undulating course of Epsom Downs, the Group 1 contest is Britain’s richest race with a prize fund of at least £1.325 million.

Elm Park, Zawraq and Jack Hobbs are joined by QIPCO 2000 Guineas hero Gleneagles and stable mates Giovanni Canaletto and Kilimanjaro.

Full list of Investec Derby contenders (16): Best of Times, Carbon Dating, Elm Park, Epicuris, Giovanni Canaletto, Gleneagles, Great Glen, Hans Holbein, Jack Hobbs, Kilimanjaro, Moheet, Prince Gagarin, Rocky Rider, Rogue Runner, Storm The Stars and Zawraq.
