Jack Hobbs is set to take his chance in this afternoon's Investec Derby at Epsom.
The Godolphin-owned three-year-old is second in the betting for the premier Classic behind his stable companion and the horse that beat him in the Dante Stakes at York last month, Golden Horn.
Trainer John Gosden voiced concerns about the prospect of fast ground for Jack Hobbs earlier in the week, but walked the course on Saturday morning and he will line up in the mile-and-a-half contest, despite the ground drying to good to firm.
John Ferguson, bloodstock advisor for Sheikh Mohammed, told Channel 4 Racing: "John (Gosden) is very happy with him and as Sheikh Mohammed has said right from the beginning, John has trained this horse brilliantly and he's keen to run him, so that gives you every indication.
"I think the most important thing is he's a horse with a future."
