Epsom Derby runner-up Libertarian has been purchased by Godolphin but will remain in training with Elaine Burke until after his next race.

Winner of the Dante Stakes at York in May, the colt outran his odds at Epsom when chasing home Ruler Of The World, finishing as well as anything under William Buick.

He will tackle the Derby winner again a week on Saturday in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh.

"We are delighted to have acquired Libertarian," Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford said.

"His form is excellent and it is great to have a new addition to our team.

"We look forward to seeing him run in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby on Saturday week."
