Speaking Of Which has been ruled out of this evening's Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby due to ground conditions.

The ground at the Curragh is now soft to heavy, heavy in places following 4.3mm of rain since 7.30am this morning.

The forecast is for the showers to clear.

There is some doubt surrounding the participation of Camelot due to the ground but Aidan O'Brien's star has arrived at the racecourse.

There are three other non-runners on the card in Your Pal Tal (1st - lame), Scotland Forever (6th - stone bruise) and Eton Rifles (7th - runs Newcastle).
