The previous running of the Princess Elizabeth is remembered as one of Epsom’s messier contests. Let's hope for a cleaner race after in-running trouble thwarted Chic Colombine and Royal Dress last year. Both horses were blocked in their runs before rattling home while everything went right for Breege, who clung on for a narrow win. Maybe that was Chic Colombine’s last chance to land a Group race.

Derby Day’s traditional home on the first Saturday in June means the gap between the Diomed and the Queen Anne is only ten days rather than 17 this year. That makes Docklands’ presence at Epsom a small surprise. Docklands is a specialist on Ascot’s straight track. His course achievements comprise a victory in the Britannia, back-to-back seconds in the Paradise and one in the Queen Anne. The latter three performances are standouts on Docklands’ CV.

The biggest Derby field in years awaits. Every runner with the exception of the five from Ballydoyle has a jockey booked, and the maximum quota of 20 may be filled.  Pre-declaration analysis is better used for establishing a shortlist rather than striking a bet. Punters are getting three places each-way at the time of writing, but that could extend to five with leading bookmakers after the final line-up is revealed on Thursday.

Tatmeen6.15 LingfieldTatmeen rattled home for second over a mile on his handicap debut at this track behind a hot favourite who has since won off 5lb higher, almost justifying a big market plunge that saw him shorten from early odds of 66-1 into 7-1 before drifting back out to an SP of 14s. The way Tatmeen finished gave every hope he would benefit for middle distances, and that's how it transpired when he went a place better at Kempton over an extra four furlongs.

The unexposed Tatmeen is on the up and can add to his recent Kempton victory in the 1m4f handicap (6.15) that opens the Lingfield Placepot. The saddle slipped on Drouthy Neebor's last run and he's worth another chance in the 1m4f classified race (6.45) after a few decent efforts in handicaps before that. Frederick Larson has a good record aboard Fen Tiger and for this yard, so the seven-year-old is the back-up play. Shaatir sets the standard in the 6f novice (7.15) after a decent debut at Chepstow.
