Persistent rain at Epsom has prompted a going change following the first race of the two-day Cazoo Derby festival, with conditions now described as good to soft (from good, good to firm in places).
Up to 4.8mm of rain fell before midday and it continued to pour as the opening contest, won by the George Boughey-trained juvenile Oscula, was run. The time of the Woodcote was 4.22 seconds outside of standard.
Following the first race jockeys William Buick, Hollie Doyle and David Probert described the ground as good to soft, while Oisin Murphy, John Egan, Rob Hornby and Sean Levey called it soft.
