Midterm may still make the Investec Derby line-up despite being found to have sustained a sore hamstring when a disappointing favourite for the Dante Stakes at York last week. The choicely-bred colt, impressive in his previous success at Sandown, had gone into the Dante as the ante-post favourite for the Derby, but failed to fire and came home fifth under Pat Smullen.At first, nothing came to light to explain Midterms performance, but further veterinary examination identified a problem, revealed on Monday night by Lord Grimthorpe, racing manager to the colts owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. He was sore in a hamstring behind. Its not insurmountable, but at least it gives us some explanation as to what happened, he said.We have to wait quite a few days now. Weve got to be sure and from that point of view, its got to be up until the last minute. Hes not a great worker, so its going to be hard to gauge how he is going, but he will certainly have to be sound before he even starts to work again.If were lucky, and he comes right, he can do enough work to satisfy the trainer that he can go. If he doesnt, then theres the King Edward VII to fall back on.Grimthopre admitted to taking some relief at having identified an issue that might explain such a lacklustre performance behind Wings Of Desire in the Dante.It was a bit mystifying as we were very hopeful of a big run, so to find a hamstring... in the whole scale of things it could have been a lot worse, he said.Midterms trainer Sir Michael Stoute confirmed that he was still to rule Midterm out of the Epsom reckoning, while the stable could yet be double-handed in the race with Newbury maiden winner Ulysses, whose dam Light Shift won the Oaks, also still in contention.I want to give him more time to see how he comes out of that race and then make a decision, but its a possibility, he said.
