Horses which do not qualify for a rating may also be eligible providing the BHA Handicapper is satisfied that the horse’s racecourse performances up to and including 31st May merit a provisional assessment of 80 or higher. Horses which have not run will not be eligible.

The winning horse in The Derby ‘Wild Card’ EBF Conditions Stakes at Epsom Downs on 29 September 2024 and in the Blue Riband Trial, run at the Spring Meeting at Epsom Downs on 22 April 2025, if not a gelding or already entered, will receive an automatic entry to this race on the proviso that, should the horse remain in The Derby after the subsequent scratching stages on 6 May and 20 May, and confirmation stage on 2 June, the owner will be liable to meet the corresponding payments respectively. In the event of a dead-heat in either race, both horses will receive an automatic entry to The Betfred Derby.

This race also forms part of the 2025 Churchill Downs ‘Wild Card’ Scheme. A runner from the American Turf Stakes, (Grade 2, 1m 0.5f. $500,000), run on Kentucky Derby Day (Saturday 4th May), will receive an entry and a travel incentive to run in The Betfred Derby.

This race will be restricted to 20 runners plus two reserves. The two reserves will be nominated as R21 and R22.
