Godolphin trainer Saeed Bin Surour\'s search for a Derby contender takes him to Epsom on Wednesday where he saddles Borug over the horse-shoe course. Bin Surour last won the blue riband event of the English flat season 16 years ago with Lammtarra. Last year Al Zir finished sixth behind Workforce while co-Godolphin trainer Mahmoud Al Zarouni\'s Rewilding took third. Borug is a son of Kingmambo and half-brother to Godolphin\'s Prix de l\'Arc de Triomphe winner Marienbard. He won two of six starts last season in the UK. When based at Godolphin\'s Al Quoz stable in Dubai, Borug\'s two starts included a creditable third to Reem in the Al Bastakiya. Best chance Bin Surour, who also holds a second entry for the Derby with his Champagne Stakes winner Saamidd, is hoping Borug can handle the Epsom course and distance, which is a furlong short of the mile-and-a-half trip the colts will run on June 4. Al Zarouni, who holds Derby entries with Dubai Prince and Casamento, saddles Genius Beast. English bookmakers rate Dubai Prince as Godolphin\'s best chance with quotes of 14/1 for last October\'s Killavullan Stakes winner. There are 134 horses engaged for the Derby following this month\'s second entry stage including the 4/1 favourite Frankel, 8/1 World Domination and 10/1 Seville. Al Zarouni\'s Casament is available at 12/1 and Dubai Prince at 14/1. From Gulf News
