FORDINGBRIDGE trainer David Elsworth remains hopeful that his impressive colt Salford City may yet provide him with the winner of Saturday's Vodaphone Derby.
The going at Epsom is currently described as 'good' which will suit the Whitsbury-based horse.
Elsworth said: "It looks as if the ground will be fine for him and in an open year, he's in there with a genuine chance.
"Although he will be moving into unchartered waters, I think on his pedigree he has a good chance of staying."
Salford City has shortened to 8-1 with the bookies, while Aiden O'Brien's Yeats remains favourite at 5-2.
Elsworth has also entered Massif Centrale, who made his debut at Salisbury last month, in the race. He remains a rank outsider, available at 200-1.
