John Ferguson hopeful of Derby delight for Godolphin

John Ferguson is hoping Godolphin can be in the mix “at the sharp end” in this year’s Investec Derby.

While Saeed bin Suroor trained 1995 Epsom victor Lammtarra, the colt ran in the colours of Saeed Maktoum Al Maktoum, meaning the famous royal blue silks have yet to pass the post first in the premier Classic.

The in-form Godolphin outfit have a lengthy list of candidates at present, headed by Cloth Of Stars, a colt who hails from the family of Oaks winner Light Shift and landed the Prix Greffulhe for French handler Andre Fabre last time out.
