Going trend · Derby Festival traditionally rides good to firm in early June. Watering policy targets safe ground around 3.5.
Draw bias · In the 5f Dash sprint, low draws (1-5) have a major edge. In the Derby itself, middle draws (6-12) avoid the rail issues but stay closer to the inner than wide draws.

★ What punters need to know about Epsom
- Derby winners since 2000 have almost all come from Aidan O'Brien, Charlie Appleby or John & Thady Gosden — pedigree and proven middle-distance form essential.
- A horse who has won at Chester (the May Festival Chester Vase) often handles Epsom's turns and undulations.
- Avoid Derby longshots that lack stamina — the final uphill 2½ furlongs is brutal.
