LONDON. June 2—(AP)_11\¢ weather and the scratching of three outsiders served today b0 make John (Lucky) Dewar’; m. clor Minstrel an even-money f"- orite for the Derby Saturday n1_ IhOUEh many British sportsmen continued to pull hopefully for the Kins‘: entry. Blue Train.

The names of three long shots.

Young Aflran. Telegraph. and Sllnd"? EXPTBSS. were removed today from the list of likely

starters. cutting the field to 10.

Meantime, in the call-over of belting odds at the Victoria Club. the odds on Dewar‘s unbeaten colt. switched -from 10 to 11 to even money, partly as a result of the heat wave in England which has hardened the course all Ep- som Downs. At the same time the odds on Blue Train length- ened to 100 to G.

Gordon Richards, the champion jockey who has ridden both hor- ses. told newspaper men that his "tip" was Tudor Minstrel and that the only danger will come from Blue Train if ll: rains.

Another kind of weather was in the Derby news. That was Grand Wca. er. the Irish horse. which repl ced Blue Train as third fav- orite ln the call-over at the Brit- ish bookmakers‘ club. Grand Weather closed at 100 to 7, Saya- lirao was made second favorite at 11 to 2. Other colts which were strongly backed for the lib-mile test were Mlgoll. at 18 to 1. and Cndir. the French challenger. Mi- goll vras backed with £06,000 ($264,090) and £25,000 was wagered on Cnclir.
