Expanding on his Epsom possibles, O'Brien added: "The plan is for Cape Blanco to go to the Dante.

"He caught his heel when cantering this morning, but I hope it is going to be nothing and he is another who will come on for the run.

"If Jan Vermeer goes to the Derby he will need a run beforehand and that will have to come in the Irish 2000 Guineas. I would like him to have a run beforehand (Epsom), but if we can't manage that he could go to the French Derby without a run.

"St Nicholas Abbey is in good form, he's not done anything since Newmarket and he will begin his Derby build-up this week."

People need to stop referring to it as the French Derby, now that its distance has been reduced.  The Prix du Jockey-Club.  In my mind, the French Derby is now the Grand Prix de Paris, which has been upped in trip.

Why would Vermeer have to have a run if he is to go to Epsom, but could go straight to the French Derby?

Derby is 12f, Prix du Jockey-Club is less.  Derby will arguably(?) have a better field.
