Luca Cumani will walk the track before committing Curtain Call to the totesport.com Lingfield Derby Trial on Saturday.

Currently 5-1 second-favourite with the sponsor for the Epsom Classic, the former Jessica Harrington-trained Sadler's Wells colt has yet to race on a firm surface.

But after reassurances from Lingfield supremo Neil Mackenzie Ross that the turf course will be safe ground tomorrow, Cumani is likely to let him take his chance.

"His one disappointing run came at Doncaster on the fastest ground he has encountered but we prefer to think that was because it was late in the season," said Cumani.

"The most interesting thing Neil said was that there is still a lot of moisture underneath the ground, we are not talking about July and August-type ground.

"I think the ground will be OK but I will walk it tomorrow morning to make doubly sure.

"My main concern is not whether the horse goes on it (fast ground) or not, it is that he comes back sound and not run any risks so that he is ready to run in the Derby.

"He's not a heavy horse, he's very nimble and light on his feet so going on that you would have to say that good to firm should not inconvenience him.

"I'm not that worried about the ground, it is the press and TV people who are worried, I think the ground will be fine for him.

"He's a bit of a handful at home, if he was a person he would be in danger of picking up an ASBO from time to time!

"I like him to be expressive though because it gives me all the right signals that he is in good form."

Cumani has claimed the race with Kahyasi in 1988 and High-Rise in 1998 before both went on to win at Epsom and he admits that Curtain Call is giving him a similar vibe.

"Of course I think he is capable of winning a Derby or else I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing with him," he told At The Races.

Godolphin's season has yet to get into full swing but their representative Campanologist has won a race already this term.

The Kingmambo colt claimed the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket for Mark Johnston and was then switched to the care of Saeed bin Suroor.

"Campanologist has been working well and settled in nicely. He is in good form and is ready to go," bin Suroor told www.godolphin.com.

"I think he has a good chance in the race on Saturday."

Frankie Dettori, Godolphin's retained rider, added: "Campanologist is a new horse for us. I sat on him on Monday and he seems nice.

"His form from Newmarket has been franked with Henry Cecil's horse (Kandahar Run) winning again at the weekend."

Aidan O'Brien has selected two from his huge squad of three-year-olds at his Ballydoyle yard, Alessandro Volta and King Of Rome, with Johnny Murtagh riding the former.

"Alessandro Volta and King Of Rome both ran in the Ballysax Stakes and seem to be in good form.

"Alessandro Volta's saddle slipped that day and better ground will suit him.

"King Of Rome has come forward for his run last time and better ground will suit him too."

(reopens) Murtagh is looking forward to the race and feels Alessandro Volta is capable of putting up a bold show.

"Things didn't work out for him last time as the saddle slipped back," he added.

"I was really just a passenger on him that day but he's improved a lot at home in his work and I'd be expecting a good run tomorrow," he told Racing UK.

"He'll love the ground and the track is a bit of unknown but he's a pretty versatile horse."
