"A nasty fall won't stop my bid for Derby glory at Epsom," Dettori told www.ladbrokes.com. "I slipped after the line at Leicester on Tuesday but despite a few bumps and bruises I'm raring to go for Epsom. "I've got a slightly sore elbow, but there's no lasting damage and I'm not going to let a fall derail my bid for more Classic glory. "I've got a good favourite's chance in the Derby and the forecast rain doesn't do us any harm. "He'll definitely stay, and being out of Pivotal, any cut in the ground would be OK, too." The ground at Epsom eased further on Wednesday and was described as soft, good to soft in places. It was previously described good to soft, soft in places.
