Dublin, Mayo, Kerry, Armagh teams named; 9 Stand their ground for Sunday's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby, Kfm Weekend Preview, 6.30pm, previews all the weekend action. (Kfm live from the Curragh Saturday and Sunday)

Dublin have named their team for Sunday's All-Ireland quarter-final with Mayo at Croke Park on Sunday.

Jack McCaffrey starts after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Stephen Cluxton continues in goal, while Paddy Small and Ciarán Kilkenny both start.

Seán Bugler has recovered sufficiently from a hamstring strain

Dean Rock has to settle for a place on the bench.

Mayo manager Kevin McStay has made two changes to his team

Regular midfielder Matthew Ruane is recalled to the starting team in place of Kevin McLoughlin. Pádraig O'Hora replaces his club-mate Sam Callinan in defence.

Aidan O'Shea will make his 84th championship appearance, which equals Andy Moran's Mayo record. It also places him joint sixth on all-time list behind Stephen Cluxton, Seán Cavanagh, Tomás Ó Sé, Marc Ó Sé and Colm Cooper.

 

Paul Geaney and Gavin White have been recalled by Kerry manager Jack O'Connor for Saturday’s All-Ireland quarter-final clash with Tyrone.

Geaney replaces Tony Brosnan at corner-forward, and Gavin White replaces Mike Breen at wing-back.

 

Rian O'Neill has returned after suspension to start in the Armagh team to play Monaghan tomorrow

O’Neill is the only change made by manager Kieran McGeeney.

===============

Auguste Rodin, Sprewell and White Birch head the nine contenders for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh on Sunday. 

The trio finished first, third and fourth for trainers Aidan O'Brien, Jessica Harrington and John Murphy respectively in the Epsom Derby earlier this month and will clash again in the first Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby to be run on a Sunday since 2011.

 

Sunday’s card is a Tote World Pool event for the first time, ensuring extensive international coverage for the race. 

Should Auguste Rodin be successful, not only would he give Ryan Moore a first Irish Derby win, but he would also be a 100th European Classic winner for Aidan O'Brien.

 

The Ballydoyle maestro runs five in the race in total with likely outsiders Adelaide River, Covent Garden, Peking Opera and San Antonio set to take their chance. 

Also heading for the €1.25m showpiece are Joseph O'Brien's Leopardstown Derby Trial second Up And Under and the Donnacha O'Brien-trained Proud And Regal.  

 

Kfm will broadcast live from the Curragh from 1.30pm tomorrow and Sunday, in association with the Curragh Racecourse.

 

It's day one of the Irish Derby meeting today, with the first of seven races off at 5pm; we’ll bring you the results on the Weekend Preview from 6.30pm
