'It is something I have been thinking about for over a year,' Kirby told BBC Sport. More Trending 'I knew this was going to be my last major tournament. 'The plan was to retire after the Euros but after speaking to Sarina I'm not going to make the squad. 'It was like a dagger to my heart but also a weight off my shoulders all at the same time.

Schiergen has Epsom mapped out for Geography
Schiergen is no stranger to success on British soil having saddled his Arc heroine Danedream to win the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in 2012, while the 60-year-old also ran Tunnes at Epsom in the 2023 edition of the Coronation Cup. Now he takes aim at Saturday's Group Three contest with his four-year-old who won for the third time at that level at Dusseldorf in April, in a race in which Archie Watson's reopposing globetrotter Brave Emperor was beaten five and a half lengths in fifth. 'He's coming over to run, Derby day is a big day, so we will be coming,' said Schiergen. 'I think he is in good form, we have gelded him since his last run which we thought was a good idea and we think he's in a good place.' Geography is a 6-1 chance with the race sponsors and will be partnered by William Buick after Ryan Moore, who was originally booked to ride, switched to Richard Hannon's Persica on Tuesday morning.
