Five Derby horses who will love soft ground with ‘a hell of a lot of rain' set to hit Epsom ahead of £1.5m race
'A HELL of a lot of rain' is set to hit Epsom this afternoon ahead of the blockbuster £1.5million Derby. The going was changed to good, good to soft in places, last night after the forecast deluge didn't hit. 1 But a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms and hail remains in place over the Surrey track. Oli Bell said on ITV Racing that up to 30mm of rain could fall between now and the Derby at 3.30pm. With that in mind, here are five horses who should be able to cope if the going gets muddy. 1 Delacroix Heavily backed after Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore teamed up to win the Oaks on Friday, the fav should have no problem if the rain gets into the turf. He is 2-2 this year and finished a nose second on soft in last October's William Hill Futurity at Doncaster. 2 Midak The ground is typically much softer in the France - and that should play right into Midak's strengths. Supplemented for the race at a cost of £75,000, this three-year-old colt is showing signs of huge improvement. And the colossal fee paid to get him in the race - and run under the famous Aga Khan silks - could prove money well spent. 3 Tennessee Stud His odds have plummeted from 66-1 to 33s and it is easy to see why given the forecast. He brings strong form to the table having been beaten by the likes of Delacroix, Green Storm and Hotazhell. While he was a Group 1 winner on heavy at Saint-Cloud in France last October. 4 New Ground Getting into the really big prices at 50-1, this French raider was a winner on heavy last October. He has been campaigned at a higher level since and come up short - but maybe ultra soft ground is what he needs. His sire won a French Derby on heavy so there is certainly hope. 5 Green Storm If Tennessee Stud is a play, then 200-1 outsider Green Storm has to be as well. Owned by Ahmad Al Shaikh, a genius owner who seemingly always gets a big-price fancy in the frame at the Derby - Hoo Ya Mal at 150-1 was the standout - he screams stamina. Al Shaikh is obsessed with winning the Derby and while this would be the mother of all shocks, a small punt each-way could prove the prudent play.
