Recital one of five Ballydoyle possibles Recital is one of five Derby possibles for Aidan O'Brien although jockey bookings are up the air for the Ballydoyle team. Kieren Fallon came over to partner the Montjeu colt to victory in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial but could be set to partner Guineas third Native Khan in the classic. He partnered Ed Dunlop's charge in spin around Epsom this morning as part of the track's Breakfast With The Stars. O'Brien outlined his contenders for the Blue Ribband event and said plans were fluid as regards riding arrangements. "I suppose the horses we have been mentioning are Roderic O'Connor, Seville, Recital, Memphis Tennessee and the horse that won the (Chester) Vase, Treasure Beach. They are the five strong options at the moment," said O'Brien. "The plan originally with Roderic O'Connor was to go to the Irish Guineas and if he ran a nice race then we would look at either Epsom or France. Obviously he ran a lovely race and everything went right with him. "I think probably early next week we'll get down to jockey arrangements, but the first thing we need to do is get the runners sorted. "The lads all know the track well and are used to riding the horses, we never think it's a problem. There are the horses to consider, where everybody fits in and what's the right thing for each horse. "We were delighted with Recital at Leopardstown. Kieren hadn't ridden him before, obviously he set the pace with the other horses, Regent Street and Seamus (Heffernan) and Joseph (O'Brien) riding Memphis Tennessee. "The pace was strong, the leader came back but there was a very strong headwind at Leopardstown. "He took it up probably earlier than Kieren would have liked and probably idled in front, with the headwind into his face. He did plenty of looking round, but Kieren just nursed him home. "Obviously Kieren knows him as well, Seamus has ridden him, Johnny Murtagh has ridden him, Colm and Joseph have ridden him at home, so we have a lot of options. "I don't think it's a problem but obviously the plan at Leopardstown and Kieren sitting on him was that he might be available for him in the Derby. But we're lucky at the moment there are some great jockeys around." Ed Dunlop's Native Khan's third-place finish behind Frankel at Newmarket was given a boost when the runner-up Dubawi Gold filled the same spot in the Irish equivalent. He enjoyed a spin around Epsom with stablemate Satwa Laird, going a pretty leisurely pace before Kieren Fallon just nudged him half a length in front close home. "I was very happy, Kieren was very happy," said Dunlop. "He won't have learned much except for in his behaviour in the paddock and heading out to the track, but he's very well and he was very relaxed. "He can be a bit boisterous, but we tried to do something to make things easier on Derby Day. Obviously there will be many, many more people here, but he's come through today well. "Whether he'll stay a mile and a half we'll see, but he's growing up mentally and he is more of a staying horse to look at than a miler so we're very excited. Asked whether Fallon had made a firm commitment to ride him in the Investec Derby, Dunlop said: "As firm as Mr Fallon ever makes any commitment."
