Godolphin will run Rio De La Plata in the Vodafone Derby a week on Saturday, it has been confirmed.

The organisation's racing manager Simon Crisford confirmed at Epsom's Breakfast With The Stars that the French Guineas runner-up will carry their hopes with Frankie Dettori in the saddle.

That leaves Ibn Khaldun to tackle the French Derby at Chantilly.

"We've decided to run Rio in the Derby and Ibn Khaldun will run in the French Derby this weekend," said Crisford.

"We are very pleased with Rio and he ran a very good trial in France.

"It may have looked like he was stopping in the final furlong but there are two reasons why we hope he'll get the trip.

"He was very badly drawn in France and used an enormous amount of energy to finish where he did. The ground was also a bit too quick for him.

"He's bounced out of that very well, though, and we are very happy with him."

Although the Rahy colt is giving off the right signals, Crisford accepts the Derby trip represents a shot into the unknown for Rio De La Plata.

"We're happy that Rio will get a mile and a quarter, but not so sure about a mile and a half," he added.

"We're guessing whether he'll get home over that distance but he did run a great trial in the French 2000 Guineas."

John Gosden is also leaning towards the Epsom Classic with the progressive Bronze Cannon, winner of a handicap at Newmarket on Sunday, while Luca Cumani has been happy with the progress of Curtain Call.

The latter took part in some work on Thursday morning around Tattenham Corner and is right on schedule for the big race.
