Put no stock at all. Since 1971, the following have all won Derby with first mount and Curtis has plenty of UK experience in bulky fields.

Gustavo Avila (1971-Canonero II)
Steve Cauthen (1978-Affirmed)
Ronnie Franklin (1979-Spectacular Bid)
Stewart Elliott (2004-Smarty Jones)
Mario Gutierrez (2012-I’ll Have Another)
Sonny Leon (2022-Rich Strike)
