There had been some speculation that Found may be supplemented for the Derby at a cost of £75,000, but the decision has been made to miss Epsom altogether and instead go for the Coronation Stakes.
Gleneagles had been attracting some support for the Derby, but the winner of both the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh will stay at a mile for the St James's Palace Stakes.
Trainer Aidan O'Brien is now expected to run three colts in the Derby - Giovanni Canaletto, Hans Holbein and Kilimajaro - and he could have as many as four in the Oaks, including Cheshire Oaks winner Diamondsandrubies.
