1	4 1st (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Auguste Rodin		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(4) Auguste Rodin 4.5/1, Unlucky on debut and made no mistake in 3 subsequent outings, running out the comfortable winner of Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) in October. Ran no sort of race when favourite for 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on return but still warrants plenty of respect with this trip likely to suit.
2	7 2nd (7) (66/1 +0%) King Of Steel		66 66/1(+0%)																															(7) King Of Steel 66/1, Fast-tracked to Group 1 level after an impressive debut success at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) but could manage only seventh in Futurity Trophy at Doncaster. Remains with potential but this is a massive ask on return for a new yard. Bred to stay.
3	14 3rd (14) (12/1 +14%) White Birch		12 12/1(+14%)																															(14) White Birch 12/1, Confirmed debut promise to run out a ready winner of maiden at Dundalk and took another big step forward when following up in 6-runner Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) on return. Ran on strongly when close second in Dante at York since and extra 2f will suit. Considered.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -17%) Sprewell		14 14/1(-17%)																															(11) Sprewell 14/1, Confirmed 2-y-o promise when making a winning return in novice at Naas. Progressed again tackling 1¼m for the first time when following up in Derby Trial at Leopardstown, advertising his Derby credentials with a very smart effort. Ground an unknown (raced only on heavy) but still much respected.
5th	12 5th (12) (7/1 +42%) The Foxes		7 7/1(+42%)																															(12) The Foxes 7/1, Progressive Churchill colt who followed up maiden win in a slowly run but strong renewal of the Royal Lodge at Newmarket final start at 2yrs. Solid return in the Craven there and proved well suited by longer trip when holding off White Birch in Dante at York. Firmly in the mix.
6th	13 6th (13) (25/1 +24%) Waipiro		25 25/1(+24%)																															(13) Waipiro 25/1, Proved a different proposition to debut when making all in novice at Newmarket on return. Again showed significant improvement when pushing Military Order in Lingfield Derby Trial, beaten only final 100 yds. Fully entitled to take his chance, though his temperament will be tested (excitable colt).
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 -10%) Artistic Star		22 22/1(-10%)																															(3) Artistic Star 22/1, Unbeaten Galileo colt, winning strong maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in October before defying penalty in good style at Sandown on return. Remains with potential but experience/ability will be fully tested here.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 +34%) Adelaide River		33 33/1(+34%)																															(1) Adelaide River 33/1, Winning debut on AW last summer and placed 4 times at Group level since, though he was 6 lengths adrift of Dubai Mile/Arrest in Criterium de Saint-Cloud on final start 2-y-o and was again soundly beaten by Arrest in Chester Vase on return. Very hard to make a case for.
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 -39%) Dubai Mile		25 25/1(-39%)																															(6) Dubai Mile 25/1, Very progressive at 2 yrs, second to The Foxes in slowly-run Royal Lodge before gamely beating Arrest in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Ran as well as could have been expected when fifth in 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on return and this trip likely to be more suitable. Not to be underestimated.
10th	2 10th (2) (4/1 +0%) Arrest		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Arrest 4/1, Most progressive juvenile who scored twice over 1m before head second to Dubai Mile (Adelaide River 6 lengths back in third) in Criterium de Saint-Cloud. Smashed Adelaide River by a similar margin in Chester Vase on return last month and should make a bold bid with stamina assured.
11th	10 11th (10) (18/1 +36%) San Antonio		18 18/1(+36%)																															(10) San Antonio 18/1, Continued his race-by-race progression when bolting up in a Dundalk maiden (10.7f, 10/3) on return and threw his hat into the Derby ring when following up in the Dee Stakes at Chester, making most. Another big step forward required, however, and Moore prefers Auguste Rodin.
12th	9 12th (9) (8/1 -14%) Passenger		8 8/1(-14%)																															(9) Passenger 8/1, Scopey sort who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in maiden (Wood Ditton) at Newmarket and took a massive step forward when third in Dante at York, likely to have gone very close to winning with a clear run. Has since been supplemented for this and remains an exciting prospect.
13th	5 13th (5) (100/1 +33%) Dear My Friend		100 100/1(+33%)																															(5) Dear My Friend 100/1, Pivotal colt who won novices at Carlisle (6f) and Beverley (7.4f) first 2 starts. Made a winning return in listed race at Newcastle but limitations fully exposed in the Dante at York. Big outsider.
14th	8 14th (8) (4.5/1 +0%) Military Order		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(8) Military Order 4.5/1, Brother to Derby and King George VI winner Adayar. Beaten at short odds first-time out but has made no mistake since, completing hat-trick with a bit in hand in Lingfield Derby Trial 3 weeks ago by 1¼ lengths from Waipiro. Every chance of emulating his brother.

LTO Selection:

13:30 Epsom Group 1 (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A fascinating renewal of one of the world's most revered thoroughbred races, in which many will hope to turn dreams into reality. The Italian maestro, Frankie Dettori, will seek to add a third Derby success to his ever-expanding CV on this farewell season, and Arrest, a facile winner of the Chester Vase, would appeal as a live candidate. Aidan O'Brien has had a stranglehold on this contest in the last few years, winning three of the previous six renewals. He saddles three here, of which high-class juvenile Auguste Rodin looks to be his most likely chance, providing he can bounce back from a below-par run in the 2000 Guineas. There was little to separate The Foxes (winner) and White Birch (second) when the pair met in last month's Dante and though both have more than enough ability to feature, a low draw could hamper their chances. Passenger, an unlucky third that day, looks set to close the gap, and it would be no surprise were he to repeat the dose for last year's winning trainer/jockey combination. A chance, however, is taken on DUBAI MILE. Pedigree would suggest he's not a guaranteed stayer at this trip, but he plugged on for a creditable fifth, having looked outpaced in the 2000 Guineas. He saw off Arrest in the Criterium de Saint Cloud over 1m 2f in October last year, so it is quite possible this test will bring out the best in him. Military Order completes a lengthy shortlist.

A wide-open renewal with plenty of progressive and unexposed colts but MILITARY ORDER's win at Lingfield was the most convincing of all the trials, so this brother to 2021 Derby winner Adayar has plenty going for him with his stamina guaranteed. Passenger arguably would have won the Dante at York (on only his second career start) had he not been forced to wait for a gap so he is high on the shortlist along with Chester Vase winner Arrest, who should continue to improve.

The stamina shown by MILITARY ORDER (nap) at Lingfield swings the verdict his way with this long finishing straight likely to suit.

1	4 1st (4) (1.5/1 -9%) Prosperous Voyage		1.5 1.5/1(-9%)																															(4) Prosperous Voyage 1.5/1, Posted career best on return last term when narrow second in 1000 Guineas and got back on the up when landing the Falmouth Stakes (8f) in July. Probably undone by the ground in Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on return and likely to resume winning ways down in grade. Smart filly; cracking chance on some of her Group 1 form, including 2022 Falmouth success.
2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 +12%) Random Harvest		22 22/1(+12%)																															(1) Random Harvest 22/1, Useful mare who produced a career best when winning 8-runner Premio Elena E Sergio Cumani at Milan (8f, soft) in October. Big price and down the field in Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on return, and this looks another stiff task. Group 3 winner at San Siro last autumn but this is a better race for the grade.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +0%) Astral Beau		6 6/1(+0%)																															(2) Astral Beau 6/1, Very progressive handicapper during second part of 2022, winning 3 times over 7f, including on final start at this course in October. Improved again to land Doncaster listed race (8f, heavy) on return and far from disgraced in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket since, so well respected. Most wins on slow ground; ran respectably in Newmarket Group 2 on soft last time.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Shaara		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(6) Shaara 7.5/1, Useful filly with a cracking strike rate, but has been found out in better company the last twice, failing to beat a rival in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on return. Others make more appeal. Low-mileage filly from powerful yard; may yet resume her progress.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 -35%) Potapova		4.5 4.5/1(-35%)																															(3) Potapova 4.5/1, Sandown Group 3 winner last August. Prominent in the betting but pulled up (found to have irregular heartbeat) in listed race at Goodwood on return. Certainly not one to be writing off on the back of that blip. Had an irregular heartbeat on reappearance; second in this race last year; big player.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +43%) Roman Mist		4 4/1(+43%)																															(5) Roman Mist 4/1, Ended her time with Tom Ward with a good second in 1m Lingfield listed race and upped her game to land a similar event on debut for current yard at Goodwood last month. Worth a try in this grade. Made all at Goodwood on stable/seasonal debut; good third in this contest last year.

LTO Selection:

---

14:10 Epsom Group 3 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Archie Watson and Oisin Murphy teamed up to win this contest two years ago and they can do so again with ROMAN MIST, who was a determined winner in Listed company at Goodwood last month. The five-year-old is taken to overturn form with Potapova (second), whom she was narrowly behind in this contest last year, while Prosperous Voyage is the highest rated in the field and sets the standard on form. Astral Beau rarely runs a bad race and is another to consider.

PROSPEROUS VOYAGE is the class act in this field and is best excused a lesser effort on soft ground at Newmarket on return, so she gets the nod ahead of Potapova, who is expected to bounce back from a tame return (had an excuse). Astral Beau is likely to give another good account and Roman Mist has probably not finished improving, so it's an interesting renewal.

Dropped back further in class and returned to better ground, PROSPEROUS VOYAGE gets the vote. Potapova is second choice.

1	6 1st (6) (8/1 +20%) Tatterstall		8 8/1(+20%)																															(6) Tatterstall 8/1, Gelded over the winter and he showed improved form to make winning return in Wolverhampton maiden (5.1f) in May, making all. Weakened out of things only late on when seventh in 18-runner handicap at York (5f) since and he may yet have more to offer. Close up at York having won at Wolverhampton; one of two strong chances for Michael Dods.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/1 -29%) Miss Brazen		11 11/1(-29%)																															(5) Miss Brazen 11/1, Dual winner for Karl Burke last season and built on encouraging yard debut run with an impressive success at Beverley (5f) last month. Up 10 lb, again shaped well for a long way when sixth in big-field York handicap 15 days ago and likelihood of well-run race here will suit. Easy winner at Beverley and not disgraced in big field at York; well-run race would suit.
3	12 3rd (12) (33/1 +34%) Dickieburd		33 33/1(+34%)																															(12) Dickieburd 33/1, Showed first form to cause a surprise when taking 7-runner Chester novice (5f) last July, going with zest and scoring with bit in hand. However, not replicated that in trio of subsequent efforts, absent since finishing sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) in March. Has not repeated form of last year's Chester win; more to prove than most.
4	7 4th (7) (8.5/1 -55%) Jm Jungle		8.5 8.5/1(-55%)																															(7) Jm Jungle 8.5/1, Likeable sort who ran just about his best race yet when second of 18 in handicap at York (5f) 2 weeks ago, doing best of those ridden prominently. Mark has edged back up as a result but he's evidently thriving and one to consider. In front of several of these when second at York; solid credentials; in the mix once more.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 +55%) Democracy Dilemma		9 9/1(+55%)																															(1) Democracy Dilemma 9/1, Well served by return to 5f and justified good support to double his tally on turf at Thirsk (5f, heavy) in April. Went off hard and failed to last out when eighth in handicap at Chester (5.1f) since and this demands a little more again. Clearcut winner at Thirsk but disappointing at Chester; quick ground could be an issue.
6th	13 6th (13) (4/1 +38%) Estate		4 4/1(+38%)																															(13) Estate 4/1, Showcasing gelding who found a little improvement (tongue tied) when opening his account at eighth attempt at Salisbury (5f) 7 days ago, by neck from Betweenthesticks. Reliable sort who should give his running again. Off the mark in first-time tongue-strap at Salisbury; may have more in the tank.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -56%) Grace Angel		14 14/1(-56%)																															(4) Grace Angel 14/1, Dual winner as a juvenile and stepped up with each outing so far this term, racing alone far side when landing 7-runner Redcar handicap (5f) 12 days ago. That form not the easiest to assess but she's clearly back at the top of her game. Raced alone when making all at Redcar; needs to confirm the improvement off 6lb higher.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -38%) Swift Asset		22 22/1(-38%)																															(9) Swift Asset 22/1, Ran well in graded company after his Windsor maiden success last year but was below form on final 2 outings last term and similar story in pair of starts this spring, tiring when hampered 1f out at Goodwood (5f) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive. Hasn't cut much ice in handicaps this year; falling in weights but must get back on track.
9th	10 9th (10) (40/1 -43%) Minnesota Lad		40 40/1(-43%)																															(10) Minnesota Lad 40/1, Justified cramped odds in maiden company at Beverley (5f) last summer but failed to progress thereafter upped to 6f. Shaped as if better for the run when ninth in 11-runner Chester handicap (6f, heavy) on return 24 days ago and return to quicker ground needs to have positive effect now. Raced wide on soft ground at Chester on return; more interesting on Beverley 2yo win.
10th	8 10th (8) (12/1 +25%) Betweenthesticks		12 12/1(+25%)																															(8) Betweenthesticks 12/1, Three-time 5f winner last season and readily surpassed form of first 2 starts this campaign when runner-up at Salisbury (5f) 7 days ago, travelling well and headed close home by re-opposing Estate. Well positioned then and this tougher up in class. Front-runner; good second at Salisbury; 4lb higher and in stronger race but not ruled out.
11th	3 11th (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Russet Gold		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(3) Russet Gold 5.5/1, Surpassed opening pair of efforts last term with a facile success in a Pontefract novice (5f) in August. Well backed, couldn't match that level when third on nursery debut at York (5.4f) final start but he's a well-related sort and could do better as a 3-y-o having been gelded. Impressive on third of four 2yo starts; reappears with untapped potential after gelding op.
12th	14 12th (14) (14/1 -40%) Tallulah Myla		14 14/1(-40%)																															(14) Tallulah Myla 14/1, Campaigned exclusively on AW to date and improved to make winning handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f) in April. Disappointed 4 days later but quickly back to form when close-up third at Wolverhampton (6f) 19 days ago, headed near line. This understandably tougher but she's still low mileage. Has plenty of speed and today's drop to 5f could unlock further improvement; turf debut.
13th	11 13th (11) (16/1 -33%) Zuffolo		16 16/1(-33%)																															(11) Zuffolo 16/1, Fair 5f winner at 2 yrs who left Beverley reappearance run behind Miss Brazen in his wake when landing 7-runner Redcar handicap (5f) a shade cosily 12 days ago. Forecast conditions will hold no fears and unlikely he's finished improving on that evidence. Travelled strongly for Redcar win; 6lb rise could be lenient; may follow up.
14th	2 14th (2) (7.5/1 +12%) Can To Can		7.5 7.5/1(+12%)																															(2) Can To Can 7.5/1, Pontefract maiden winner (5f) as a juvenile who left reappearance/yard debut effort in her wake when making all in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (5f) 25 days ago. Handicapper has reacted with a 10 lb rise but possibilities nevertheless should headgear work as well this time. Bolted up in blinkers at Newcastle; major player if the headgear works a second time.

LTO Selection:

---

14:45 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

TATTERSTALL had subsequent winner Estate two lengths back in second when shedding his maiden tag at Wolverhampton and he has plenty of pace to take advantage of his high draw. Jm Jungle had the selection back in seventh when runner-up at York and is dangerous, but that came just a week after Tatterstall's breakthrough triumph and much better is expected now. Surprise Newcastle winner Can To Can is also of interest, while Russet Gold will also have his supporters on his return.

The inaugural running of this out-and-out speed test for the 3-y-os with the narrow vote in favour of CAN TO CAN. She could hardly have been any more impressive when bolting up in first-time blinkers at Newcastle 25 days ago and, out of a smart sprinter, that may well not prove her limit provided the headgear has the desired effect once more. Miss Brazen looks a shrewd acquisition for the Easterby team and she promises to figure, along with Jm Jungle who is another knocking firmly on the door.

The Michael Dods-trained ZUFFOLO, a cosy winner at Redcar, can continue his progress and follow up, with Can To Can feared most.

1	11 1st (11) (25/1 -56%) Navello		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Navello 25/1, Found bundles for pressure when scoring at Thirsk (5f, good) last month and ran creditably on the back of a 4 lb rise 5 days ago at Windsor, fading only last ½f. Cheekpieces back on and seems to be taking his racing well. Up 4lb for Thirsk win and only third of four at Windsor on Monday.
2	1 2nd (1) (8.5/1 +29%) Silky Wilkie		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(1) Silky Wilkie 8.5/1, In good form on the AW during the winter and looked better than ever when storming clear in the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh in April. Below that level in a couple of Group 3 contests at Newmarket since but shouldn't stay down for long reverted to handicap company. Far from disgraced in Group 3s last two starts but will need career best under top weight.
3	3 3rd (3) (6.5/1 +19%) Clarendon House		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(3) Clarendon House 6.5/1, Progressive 4-time winner as a 3-y-o who was highly tried on the back of success in small field conditions' event at Beverley (5f) last summer. Good second back at that venue in September and should come on from his fifth at York (5f, firm) recently. Firmly in the mix. Has his optimum conditions and shaped well when fifth at York last month; high on the list.
4	6 4th (6) (8.5/1 +47%) Zarzyni		8.5 8.5/1(+47%)																															(6) Zarzyni 8.5/1, Ended last season with a couple of below-par efforts but stepped up on reappearance effort when a close seventh of 14 at York (5f, good to firm) last week. Should move forward again with that under his belt. Might have needed first two runs this year; now well handicapped; impossible to discount.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 +39%) One Night Stand		40 40/1(+39%)																															(7) One Night Stand 40/1, Won a couple of times on the all-weather early last year, including listed Hever Sprint Stakes at Lingfield. Has failed to cut much ice both outings in listed events there this year and this is a first attempt on turf for his current handler. Front-runner; out of form when last seen in February; plenty to prove.
6th	15 6th (15) (14/1 +13%) Angle Land		14 14/1(+13%)																															(15) Angle Land 14/1, Bagged three handicaps on AW during the winter (all at 5f) and better than ever as she scored for just the second time on turf at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago by ¾ length from Lihou. 4 lb higher now and in the mix provided she copes with this quick turnaround. Latest win took record to 6-29 but she's up in grade here and off a career-high mark.
7th	19 7th (19) (50/1 -52%) Papa Don't Preach		50 50/1(-52%)																															(19) Papa Don't Preach 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark at Newcastle in January and arrives here in good heart, 2 lengths fifth of 11 to Navello at Thirsk (5f, good) 2 weeks ago. This a much tougher assignment, however. Improvement needed on recent Thirsk fifth but William Pyle's 7lb claim is a bonus.
8th	20 8th (20) (40/1 -21%) Recon Mission		40 40/1(-21%)																															(20) Recon Mission 40/1, Good runner-up efforts over C&D (heavy) and Lingfield (6f, AW) on first couple of starts back but was below form while racing widest of all at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Looks up against it from out of the weights. Front-runner; not disgraced at Nottingham but this is stronger; 3lb out of the weights.
9th	14 9th (14) (16/1 -78%) Mokaatil		16 16/1(-78%)																															(14) Mokaatil 16/1, Won over C&D last spring and added to his tally at Sandown in August. Did take a few runs to find his form last year and little in the way of promise at Newmarket in April. Headgear back on and did land this in 2021 (also fourth 12 months ago). Loves Epsom and won this race in 2021; probably needed reappearance; one to take seriously.
10th	16 10th (16) (18/1 -50%) Sampers Seven		18 18/1(-50%)																															(16) Sampers Seven 18/1, Faced a stiff task but ran well when 4 lengths seventh of 16 to Happy Romance in listed race at Bath on return and ran to similar level back in handicap company when third to Navello at Thirsk (5f, good) a fortnight ago. Should go well again. Very speedy type; shaped well when third at Thirsk; this track should suit; interesting.
11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 -25%) Came From The Dark		20 20/1(-25%)																															(8) Came From The Dark 20/1, Last season was essentially disappointing, but it's taken a couple of outings to get back to form this year, third of 8 at Newmarket (5f, good) a fortnight ago. More needed to land this. Down to lowest mark since 2019 but others make bit more appeal on recent evidence.
12th	5 12th (5) (18/1 -29%) Alligator Alley		18 18/1(-29%)																															(5) Alligator Alley 18/1, Completed AW hat-trick at Southwell in January. A bit below his best since though, only eighth of 14 at York (5f, good to firm) last week. First-time visor added to his usual tongue tie and he's dropped to handy mark. Below par of late but visor now fitted and strongly run race would play to his strengths.
13th	18 13th (18) (50/1 -52%) The Thin Blue Line		50 50/1(-52%)																															(18) The Thin Blue Line 50/1, Produced a career best with the run of things in his favour at Musselburgh in April and went down only narrowly in his follow up bid at Hamilton a fortnight later. Not seen to best effect at Carlisle (5f, good) 12 days ago (raced wide) and looks to have plenty on his plate. Only fifth at Carlisle and now contests much stronger race off 2lb higher mark.
14th	10 14th (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Vintage Clarets		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(10) Vintage Clarets 7.5/1, Fairly useful 6f winner who resumed with an unlucky-in-running second of 13 at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April. Failed to build on that at Ripon (5f, heavy) subsequently, but not discounted with Murphy on board for the first time and his mark easing a shade. Returning to firmer ground is a positive and Oisin Murphy is a good booking; possibilities.
15th	9 15th (9) (8/1 +20%) Ancient Times		8 8/1(+20%)																															(9) Ancient Times 8/1, Dual 5f winner early last season who was well backed but shaped as if just needing the run in first-time tongue strap after 8 months off when fourth at Newmarket (5f, good) a fortnight ago. Should be spot on this time and yard are flying. Progressive; might have needed reappearance when fourth at Newmarket; not ruled out.
16th	12 16th (12) (33/1 -32%) Lord Riddiford		33 33/1(-32%)																															(12) Lord Riddiford 33/1, Landed a Goodwood handicap for the second year running last July and has posted several sound efforts since. Last couple weren't so good however, but he's down to his last successful mark as a result. Comes alive at Goodwood (3-4 there); this year's efforts have been subdued.
17th	13 17th (13) (6/1 +25%) Live In The Moment		6 6/1(+25%)																															(13) Live In The Moment 6/1, Not scored since 2020 and hard to catch right but bounced back to form on just his second start for the yard when runner-up at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Came eighth in this last year and should give a good account with the blinkers going back on. Back to form last time; returning to minimum trip should suit; more persuasive than most.
18th	2 18th (2) (25/1 -108%) Mountain Peak		25 25/1(-108%)																															(2) Mountain Peak 25/1, Found only one too good in this corresponding event last year and very useful form when making all in a big-field handicap at Ascot in July. Mixed bag after, and probably needed the run on his recent return at York (5f, firm) just over 2 weeks ago. Last year's close second; failed to beat a rival on York reappearance 16 days ago.
19th	4 19th (4) (25/1 -56%) Look Out Louis		25 25/1(-56%)																															(4) Look Out Louis 25/1, Enjoyed an excellent 2022 campaign, scoring 4 times. Almost certainly needed the run in a listed contest in February but ran poorly after 11 weeks off at Chester just over 3 weeks ago, the ground possibly to blame. Dropped 3 lb and can get back on track. Tailed off at Chester (usually goes well there) three weeks ago; needs to hit a new high.
20th	17 20th (17) (11/1 +21%) Lihou		11 11/1(+21%)																															(17) Lihou 11/1, Resurgent from reduced mark this year, successful 3 times on AW and on top late on when going in again over C&D in April. Creditable efforts the last twice (latest when refitted in a visor) and no surprise to see him on the premises. Dependable 5f specialist; 1-1 here; unlikely to be far away.

15:20 Epsom Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Silky Wilkie is highly respected, given he wasn't beaten far in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket last month, but he would need to set a modern day weight-carrying record to emerge on top on theses terms. Therefore, it might pay to side with VINTAGE CLARETS, who is versatile regarding ground preference and looks the type to rise to the demands of this unique test. Clarendon House also has to be considered granted his scope for improvement, while Zarzyni and last year's runner-up Mountain Peak also have plenty to offer.

A typically competitive renewal of the ultimate test of speed in British racing, CLARENDON HOUSE getting the nod having impressed with how he went through the contest before fading into fifth at York on reappearance recently. Ancient Times shaped as if just needing the run at Newmarket a fortnight ago, and with the services of a 7 lb claimer who's caught the eye in recent weeks, he's put forward as the main danger. Alligator Alley and 2021 winner Mokaatil are 2 others to consider.

A typically competitive Dash may go to LIVE IN THE MOMENT who should be suited by returning to 5f after a fine run at Doncaster.

8	8 (8) (16/1 +0%) Kadovar		16 16/1(+0%)																															(8) Kadovar 16/1, Easy winner of 8.5f course novice on soft ground in April. Might have found the run coming a bit quick on him when only fifth of 7 in 1m Newmarket handicap 12 days later. Stable has an excellent recent record in this race so he has to enter calculations with William Buick doing the steering. Runaway win in 8.5f Epsom novice (soft) penultimate start; trainer has fine record in this.
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +20%) Torito		4 4/1(+20%)																															(2) Torito 4/1, Half-brother to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Journey. Confirmed debut promise when landing short odds on Nottingham return and progressed again when second in useful 1¼m Sandown novice since. The handicapper hasn't missed him with an opening mark of 95 but there's surely more to come. Gave Derby runner Artistic Star plenty to think about at Sandown latest; brings potential.
2	11 2nd (11) (14/1 -40%) Silver Sword		14 14/1(-40%)																															(11) Silver Sword 14/1, Refused to race on first 2 starts but hard to knock since then, making short work of his rivals in a 1m Southwell maiden in April. Pitched in at the deep end for handicap debut but may have more to offer. Refused to race on his first two appearances; won latest and this return to 1m2f may suit.
3	13 3rd (13) (4/1 -14%) Balance Play		4 4/1(-14%)																															(13) Balance Play 4/1, Has had the form of his second in a 7f Salisbury novice on reappearance strongly boosted by the winner and third since so an opening mark in the low 80s could prove lenient. Bred to stay this sort of trip. Open to further improvement, particularly as he's stepped up in trip like his stablemate.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +46%) Maasai Mara		7.5 7.5/1(+46%)																															(6) Maasai Mara 7.5/1, Has reacted well to blinkers, winning an 11f Kempton novice and a 1¼m Ascot handicap this spring. 4 lb higher in a deeper race now but it'd be dangerous to rule out further improvement for top stable. Up 4lb today but he's progressive and won a 1m2f handicap at Ascot (soft) on latest outing.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +0%) Promoter		16 16/1(+0%)																															(5) Promoter 16/1, Beat a now useful rival when the ready winner of a 7f Chepstow novice last September. Some promise when 4 lengths fifth of 7 in 7.5f Chester handicap on reappearance, finishing with running left. Stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree and this longer trip could unlock some improvement. Stacks of stamina on dam's side; this step up in trip can see him in a much better light.
6th	9 6th (9) (3/1 +45%) Fox Journey		3 3/1(+45%)																															(9) Fox Journey 3/1, Left last autumn's efforts in maiden/novice company behind when making a successful handicap debut over 1¼m at Newmarket 16 days ago, drawing clear in the closing stages. Even a 9 lb rise may not stop him for a leading yard no stranger to success in this race. Raised 9lb after Newmarket win; will stay further but probably retains potential for 1m2f.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 -38%) Forca Timao		22 22/1(-38%)																															(4) Forca Timao 22/1, Useful form, finishing a very creditable 1½ lengths fifth of 14 in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1¼m, good to firm) 14 days ago. That is usually a very strong race and he has to enter calculations here. Close fifth in bunched finish to a very strong race at Newbury (1m2f, good) two weeks ago.
8th	12 8th (12) (50/1 +0%) God Of Fire		50 50/1(+0%)																															(12) God Of Fire 50/1, Progressive in maidens, winning a 12-runner event over 9.5f at Wolverhampton in January. Disappointing when a well-held last of 3 on Sandown handicap debut 4 months later, though. Others much more obvious. Much better than latest start and perhaps needed the run; a lot to prove in this, though.
9th	10 9th (10) (8/1 +33%) Perfect Play		8 8/1(+33%)																															(10) Perfect Play 8/1, Built on his good reappearance second at Beverley when making all in a 1¼m Chester handicap last weekend. It's unlikely he'll be able to dictate in quite the same fashion in this stronger race but further progress can't be discounted given who trains him. Running well at 1m2f; raised 5lb and moves into a stronger race but he's on the upgrade.
10th	3 10th (3) (20/1 -43%) Lose Your Wad		20 20/1(-43%)																															(3) Lose Your Wad 20/1, Muhaarar colt who made it second time lucky in 1m Kempton maiden on reappearance in April. Advanced his form in the face of a stiff task when 8 lengths fourth in Dee at Chester 23 days ago but it's hard to argue an opening mark of 93 looks generous. Ran well in Chester Listed race latest, hampered; one of the handicap newcomers to note.
11th	14 11th (14) (40/1 -21%) Blue Universe		40 40/1(-21%)																															(14) Blue Universe 40/1, Much improved on return from wind surgery when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in April. Failed to translate that improvement to turf when 7 lengths second of 3 at Sandown 18 days ago. Improved for an AW win on reappearance after wind surgery; put in his place next time.
12th	7 12th (7) (28/1 -100%) Sol Cayo		28 28/1(-100%)																															(7) Sol Cayo 28/1, Ended 2022 with a 9.5f Wolverhampton nursery success but reappears in a tough race and others in this line-up have more obvious scope for further progress. Firmly in charge in a five-runner AW handicap over 9.4f in November when last seen.
13th	1 13th (1) (50/1 +0%) Cite D'or		50 50/1(+0%)																															(1) Cite D'or 50/1, Useful filly who showed she's trained on when third in a C&D listed race in April but well held in the Cheshire Oaks since and surely vulnerable to less-exposed sorts on this rather belated handicap debut. Her one good run this year was at this track; even her best form does not look good enough.

15:55 Epsom Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A wide-open contest in which preference is for PERFECT PLAY. A comfortable winner over an extended 1m 2f at Chester last week, he looks capable of defying a 5lb rise and a step up in class may not be enough to stop him mounting another bold bid. Fox Journey seems an obvious threat, given he scored with something in hand at Newmarket most recently, and the son of Roaring Lion must enter calculations off 9lb higher. Course scorer Kadovar is another to consider stepping back up in distance.

FOX JOURNEY won in the style of a colt going places at Newmarket and is selected to make light of a 9 lb rise. Andrew Balding has won this 3 times since 2017 so his course-scorer Kadovar has to enter the reckoning under William Buick. Handicap-newcomers Balance Play, whose Salisbury reappearance form looks strong, and Torito complete the shortlist in this good-quality 3-y-o handicap.

A very strong renewal. Fox Journey and Forca Timao are players but PROMOTER can take a leap forward with his step up in trip.

1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Sheer Rocks		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(7) Sheer Rocks 5.5/1, Held form well on the back of victory at Chester (10.3f) last summer and, gelded ahead of return, set himself up for another productive campaign with success over this trip at Ascot (12f) 3 weeks ago. 2 lb rise fair and he's worth a second look with leading apprentice in the plate.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 +18%) Caius Chorister		2.25 2.25/1(+18%)																															(2) Caius Chorister 2.25/1, Rapid improver switched to handicaps last year, completing a 5-timer (third and fourth legs over C&D) at Glorious Goodwood before fine second in Melrose at York. Not in same groove after but resumed progress when second on return over C&D in April. Sound claims.
3	1 3rd (1) (20/1 +39%) Lucander		20 20/1(+39%)																															(1) Lucander 20/1, Did well in Bahrain for this yard over the winter. Respectable fifth of 8 in Winter Derby at Lingfield in February and shaped as if he'd come on for last month's run behind Scampi in Jorvik Handicap at the Dante Meeting. Still, has little wriggle room from this mark.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +44%) Jungle Cove		9 9/1(+44%)																															(4) Jungle Cove 9/1, Useful handicapper who defied market weakness to land Shergar Cup Mile at Ascot last summer. Had excuses since, not ideally placed when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Limerick (1m) on return 6 weeks ago. This a rather belated first try at this trip.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 -78%) Haliphon		16 16/1(-78%)																															(8) Haliphon 16/1, Useful on the Flat, recording back-to-back staying handicap wins at York and Chester last summer. Not threatened faced with soft ground in pair of starts this time around but he did run right up to his best when second in this race 12 months ago. Forecast quicker conditions a likely plus.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.33/1 +5%) Scampi		3.33 3.33/1(+5%)																															(5) Scampi 3.33/1, Registered three wins over 1½m last term (including over C&D) and confirmed himself all the better for his reappearance over 10f here when landing 15-runner Jorvik Handicap at York 17 days ago, with bit in hand. 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run with conditions fine.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Green Team		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Green Team 33/1, Useful performer at best but comfortably held all 4 starts in Meydan this year for present stable and no upturn for return to these shores when well held behind re-opposing Sheer Rocks at Ascot (12f) 3 weeks ago.
8th	3 8th (3) (4/1 +0%) Max Mayhem		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Max Mayhem 4/1, Useful handicapper for Joseph O'Brien who is lightly raced for his age and plenty to like about his return/yard debut success in Rosebery at Kempton (11f) in April, quickening to lead over 1f out and in control after. That may not prove his limit for this yard.

16:30 Epsom Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

CAIUS CHORISTER wasn't too far away from maintaining her unbeaten Epsom record over 1m 2f at the April meeting and the step back up in trip promises to yield improvement. The booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye and she is preferred to York scorer Scampi and Sea King, who ran well for second at Kempton on his return. Sheer Rocks is open to further improvement after his Ascot success, while the same can be said of Kempton scorer Max Mayhem.

A rapidly progressive filly in handicaps last term (dual C&D winner), CAIUS CHORISTER produced a very promising comeback effort when runner-up here (10f) in April and, with the return to further rating a plus, she gets the narrow vote to come out on top under Ryan Moore. Impressive York winner Scampi, another C&D winner, is feared, as is Sheer Rocks who scored with a bit to spare on return at Ascot and is also respected with Harry Davies taking off a handy 3 lb.

Scampi has a big chance but, at what's likely to be much bigger odds, HALIPHON can go one better than he did in this race last year.

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 +17%) Badri		10 10/1(+17%)																															(3) Badri 10/1, Bagged his third 5f success when wide-margin scorer at Beverley in April, storming clear last 1f. Far from disgraced from a 9 lb higher mark up in grade at York subsequently and entitled to be in the thick of the action once more. 6yo who has been better than ever this year; sixth of 21 at York latest; each-way possible.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 +18%) Apollo One		7 7/1(+18%)																															(1) Apollo One 7/1, Ended a lengthy losing run in 6f handicap at Kempton in November and shaped as if retaining all his ability back on turf after 6 months off when 3½ lengths third of 21 to Probe at Newmarket (6f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Should remain competitive. Reappeared with good third of 21 behind Probe at Newmarket and could be in the mix.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 -29%) Mr Wagyu		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(4) Mr Wagyu 4.5/1, Admirable sprinter who enjoyed another fine campaign last season, landing this corresponding event and another big pot at the Curragh. Has typically started a bit slowly this term but seems to be coming to the boil now and looks sure to make a bold bid. Big step back in right direction at York and won this last year; could play leading role.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +33%) Haymaker		4 4/1(+33%)																															(7) Haymaker 4/1, Progressive 4-y-o who confirmed the promise of his reappearance back on lest testing ground when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, always holding on. Remains of interest from a 4 lb higher mark. Career-best effort when winning at Windsor; could be in the shake-up once more.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +25%) Probe		3 3/1(+25%)																															(2) Probe 3/1, Has been transformed by his new yard this year, resuming winning ways with a career best in 21-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, soft) 4 weeks ago, bit in hand. Hit with an 8 lb rise but remains completely unexposed as a sprinter. Has done very well for new yard; strong claims if today's quicker ground isn't an issue.
6th	14 6th (14) (80/1 -21%) The Defiant		80 80/1(-21%)																															(14) The Defiant 80/1, Ran about as well as could be expected when fourth in 6-runner handicap (20/1) at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Back up in trip and faces another stiff task from well out of the weights. Pretty solid efforts in defeat on his last three starts but he's 9lb out of the weights.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 -25%) Strike Red		20 20/1(-25%)																															(5) Strike Red 20/1, Consistent sort who was a dual winner at this trip last season and looked as good as ever when sixth of 21 to Probe in 6f handicap at Newmarket (soft) on his return 4 weeks ago, running on. Could go on again this year. Two wins last October and fair reappearance run at Newmarket; could build on that.
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 -40%) Venturous		28 28/1(-40%)																															(10) Venturous 28/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 but ran well from his lower turf mark when second of 8 in 6f handicap at Ayr (good to firm) 11 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. Player from same mark. 10yo who went close at Ayr recently; back up in grade today but might not be far away.
9th	13 9th (13) (40/1 +0%) Count Otto		40 40/1(+0%)																															(13) Count Otto 40/1, C&D winner who returned to form from out of the blue when gaining a narrow win at Lingfield in March. However, ran poorly back on turf at Windsor 12 weeks later. Well beaten recently but may have needed the run and he has a very good record at Epsom.
10th	9 10th (9) (16/1 -60%) Many A Star		16 16/1(-60%)																															(9) Many A Star 16/1, Dual 6f winner in 2022. Found his run of good form halted at Newcastle on final outing but has a good record fresh, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him bounce back on this return to action. Won twice last season; needs to be better than ever to win this warm race on reappearance.
11th	12 11th (12) (14/1 -17%) Indian Creak		14 14/1(-17%)																															(12) Indian Creak 14/1, Course winner who stepped up on his reappearance when landing a gamble at Windsor in May. Not in the same form under a penalty at Thirsk but wasted no time getting back to form when 2½ lengths third of 9 to Haymaker back at former track last time. Good third at Windsor recently and has run really well on all three visits to Epsom.
12th	6 12th (6) (33/1 -65%) Baldomero		33 33/1(-65%)																															(6) Baldomero 33/1, Versatile 5-y-o (effective over as far as 1¼m) and he ran right up to his best in a race that has worked out well when runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Ran below form back on turf at Ascot on most recent outing but was possibly unsuited by conditions. 0-9 on turf but unexposed as a sprinter; perhaps this return to quicker ground will help.
13th	8 13th (8) (20/1 -67%) Spring Bloom		20 20/1(-67%)																															(8) Spring Bloom 20/1, Produced a career best back on firmer ground when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good) 14 days ago. Should remain competitive back up in trip. Won over 5f at Newmarket latest; 0-13 at 6f but has run well over this trip; not ruled out.
14th	11 14th (11) (16/1 +11%) Night On Earth		16 16/1(+11%)																															(11) Night On Earth 16/1, Won 3 times in 2022 but has yet to fully fire this term, finishing last of 4 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Visor on for 1st time. Well handicapped on last year's best but needs to raise his game and 5f seems preferable.

17:05 Epsom Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Probe arrives in fine form after scoring in a big-field handicap at Newmarket's Guineas meeting, but he does have to cope with a 7lb hike in the ratings and a chance is taken on VENTUROUS. David and Nicola Barron's veteran was a good second at Ayr and a repeat of that effort off the same mark could see him go close. Haymaker won well at Windsor and should be seriously considered, along with last year's victor Mr Wagyu.

A competitive event with the vote going to MR WAGYU, who seems to be coming to the boil just in time to repeat last year's win in this corresponding event. Haymaker and Probe are sprinters very much on the up, so command plenty of respect.

Last year's winner MR WAGYU is well treated on last season's best form and earns the vote on the back of an encouraging run at York.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
