    There were three races yesterday under 5 seconds slow.
    So for the Diomed to be 2.4 seconds slow does mean it has dried a bit, but at the moment I’d say it is still between Good-Soft and Good.

    First sprint just now was almost 2s slow and 1st race over 10f was over 5s slow and the the Princess Elizabeth (same trip as the Diomed) was almost 1s slower.

    Good to soft (good in places) seem a reasonable description and don’t forget there is a fresh strip a ground that has been opened especially for today so down on the rail (2 or three horses wide) is likely to be the quickest ground.

    Ancient Wisdom 11/2 my main bet EW but just looking for a decent horse at a nice price it has to be Ghost’s choice…
    Voyage- 20/1 EW Paddy Power
    Better odds elsewhere.

    Los Angeles looks amazing in the paddock and City Of Troy looks sleepy 😴

    Maybe Aidan let him have a lay in.

    I’ve played on what was an impressive turn of foot last time and that’s Ambiente Friendly

    When did they change the parade to a general free for all, as opposed to being in racecard order?

    It’s a long time since they used to parade in racecard order down past the furlong pole, turn around and then canter/walk to the start by the side of Langley Vale Road.

    So is the hype going to come to fruition?

    I’d like Ambiente Friendly to win, not because I have backed him but for 91-year-old Bill Gredley.

    Good horse as he didn’t settle properly – got a dream run up the inner though, seemed like a plan to do so.

    LA ran well considering the antics before the start but he looked one paced.

    Here comes the arse kissing about the trainer

    Not the greatest Derby but the highest rated won it well.

    Might have to switch off now before the Aidan adulation starts.
