AIDAN O'BRIEN says there is a "good chance" Churchill will miss the Derby and instead run in the Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas.

This year's QIPCO 2,000 Guineas winner is favourite for the Derby, although he is unlikely to take his place with O'Brien having plenty of strength in depth to replace him at Epsom.
