Anthony Van Dyck, Broome Head Irish Derby for O'Brien

Investec Derby (G1) winner Anthony Van Dyck and Broome, who finished fourth in the Epsom classic, will head Aidan O’Brien's bid for a 13th Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby (G1) win June 29 at the Curragh.

However, impressive King Edward VII Stakes (G2) winner and Derby third Japan will be kept in reserve for a choice of targets next month.

"Anthony Van Dyck came out of Epsom well and is in good form," O'Brien said June 23. "The plan is to run him and Broome and possibly a couple of others in the Irish Derby."

O'Brien's 12 Irish Derby winners include four who completed the Epsom-Curragh Derby double—Galileo, High Chaparral, Camelot, and, most recently, Australia in 2014.

"Japan definitely won't be running at the Curragh," the trainer said. "We'll wait a bit before making a plan for him. We have the option of either the (July 14) Grand Prix de Paris (G1) or the (July 27) King George Vl and Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1)."

According to O'Brien, plans for the QIPCO and Tattersalls Irish One Thousand Guineas (G1) winner Hermosa, who finished second in Friday's Coronation Stakes (G1), are fluid. "We haven't made a plan for Hermosa. We might keep her to a mile, but we also have the option of going up in trip," O'Brien said.

Ten Sovereigns, who finished fourth when he was favored for the Commonwealth Cup (G1), is likely to be kept to sprinting.

"Like all the horses we ran at Ascot, we'll wait and see how he has come out of his race," O'Brien said. "I'd imagine we'll probably keep him to sprints, and I'm sure the (Darley) July Cup (G1) is a race we'll consider for him."

The Kerrygold Irish Oaks is a possible target for Fleeting, who came from behind to finish second in the Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) Thursday.

"The Irish Oaks will be an option for Fleeting, but there are also some fillies' races in the U.S. that we might look at," O'Brien said.

Arizona, who gave O'Brien his ninth Coventry Stakes (G2) win Tuesday, is likely to head next for the Aug. 9 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes (G1) at the Curragh.

O'Brien's five winners at Royal Ascot earned him leading trainer at the meeting for the 10th time. It was the first time since 2009 that no other Irish trainer was among the winners.
