Second entry phase for Epsom Derby confirmed

Charlie Appleby has four colts on the list of possibles at the second entry stage for the Cazoo Derby at Epsom on June 5.

Adayar, a winner on his second start at Nottingham, Hurricane Lane, a son of Frankel who scored on debut at Newmarket, One Ruler, last seen finishing second at Doncaster, and Yibir, who has won his last two, now all have the Epsom Classic as an option.
Three other colts who were added to the list include Hugo Palmer's Irish Legend, unbeaten in two, Jim Bolger's Mac Swiney, conqueror of One Ruler in the Doncaster Group One, and Richard Hannon's Mojo Star - who was beaten a nose on his only outing at Newbury.
The total number engaged in the blue riband now stands at 122.
Entries were also revealed for the Cazoo Oaks, with 60 fillies engaged.
A total of 31 have been entered for the Coronation Cup - including a whole host of previous Group One winners.
Last year's Derby hero Serpentine is one of nine put in by Aidan O'Brien - with Tiger Moth, Santiago, Broome and Japan among them.
Logician, Pyledriver, Lord Glitters, Thunderous and Melbourne Cup winner Twilight Payment are also all engaged at this stage.
