Daredevil tops the field as the morning line favorite at odds of 9-5 for trainer Todd Pletcher. A chestnut son of More Than Ready purchased for $260,000 as a yearling, he has won two of his four starts and took the Champagne (G1) as a juvenile before finishing eleventh and last in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1). He was second in his first start of the year, the Swale (G2), in March at Gulfstream Park. Javier Castellano will remain aboard and they will break from post position six.

Frosted seeking to rebound and remain a Derby contender

Kiaran McLaughlin will saddle Frosted as the second choice at 5-2 on the morning line. A gray son of Tapit, he has been on the board in five of his six starts and is trying to rebound after finishing fourth in the Fountain of Youth (G2) last time out. With only a maiden win to his credit, he is trying to earn the first stakes win of his career and will get a jockey change to Joel Rosario from post position four.

Hard-knocking El Kabeir a formidable threat

Also in the field is El Kabeir at morning line odds of 3-1 for trainer John Terranova, II. Purchased for $250,000 by Zayat Stables, the gray son of Scat Daddy has won four of his eight starts and is a multiple graded stakes winner. He was last seen winning the Gotham (G3) at Aqueduct as the favorite when he overcame a slow start. Chuck Lopez will be back aboard and they will break from post five.
