The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby has been reduced to just five runners after Imperial Monarch joined Speaking Of Which as a non-runner due to the deteriorating ground conditions.

However on a positive note, Annemarie O'Brien has confirmed on Twitter that Camelot will take his chance in the €1,250,000 feature.

The going is currently described as soft to heavy (heavy in places) following further showers today.
