Although cloudy weather is on the forecast, it is expected that the going will be good. For a preview of the 16:30 Investec Derby, it is worth analysing out the latest daily speed figures from the Racing Post.
Golden Horn is 11/8 favourite and has a top rating of 124, backed by three wins from four. The 9/2 Jack Hobbs is rated second at 118, with two from its past four races. Despite winning three from its last three, the 102-rated Success Days has long odds of 14/1. Success Days could be the best outside prospect.
