Sea The Stars for Epsom Unless Ground is Soft

Sea The Stars remains on course for the Investec Derby as long as the ground is not soft.

Trainer John Oxx has reiterated his intention to send the emphatic winner of the stanjames.com 2000 Guineas to Epsom but his plan would be scuppered if conditions were testing.

"He's fit and well and none the worse for the race," said the Currabeg-based handler.

"The Derby is the plan. We've had no further discussions on that, I don't think we need to, but soft ground would stop him from running of course.

"He wouldn't tackle a mile and a half on soft but I suppose we'd be unlucky to get that."

Sea The Stars is favourite at 3-1 to land the Premier Classic on June 6.
