17:55 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +27%) New Heights	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) New Heights 4/1, After a low-key start to the season, got back on track when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) in June. Not in the same form when fourth of 7 at Leicester next time, but she's on a workable mark with cheekpieces now on first time. Won this race last year off 3lb lower on her only visit to Epsom; close 2nd two runs back.
2	6 2nd (6) (3.5/1 +22%) Goldsmith	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(6) Goldsmith 3.5/1, Dual all-weather winner during the winter and good third back from a break at Lingfield in March. Not seen to best effect next 2 starts and, after 10 weeks off, shaped well on turf when third at Sandown (1m) 13 days ago. Major player. Had a ten-week absence before latest start, so perhaps he can build on that display.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Oh Herberts Reign	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) Oh Herberts Reign 4.5/1, Having fallen a long way in the weights, took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 9 at Goodwood (9f) last time, despite needing a stronger gallop. Task is now to build on his latest effort. Rather subdued this season; one of his best runs last year came on his only start here.
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 +17%) Kimifive	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Kimifive 5/1, Gained his first win in over 3 years at this course (7f) last summer and ran well at Carlisle next time. Failed to come on for his recent run when mid-field here 15 days ago, but he's not one to write off back down in grade. Sole win in last four years was 7f (unraced beyond that) here last August off 5lb lower.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 -133%) Darvel	7 7/1(-133%)	(4) Darvel 7/1, Back down in trip, took advantage of a drop in grade when winning at Brighton (1m) 16 days ago, scoring with plenty in hand. Remains well treated on old form so he's not taken lightly. Clearcut win at Brighton on latest start; not ruled out by going back up 4lb.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +14%) Roundabout Silver	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Roundabout Silver 12/1, Dropped below his last winning mark and turned in his best effort of the season when third of 7 to Darvel at Brighton (1m) 16 days ago. Faces a tougher task now back up in grade. Never-nearer third of seven to Darvel on latest start was clearly his best show this term.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 +0%) Silver Screen	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Silver Screen 7/1, Having found it tough in listed company on her penultimate outing, soon returned to form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m) a fortnight ago, doing her best work finish despite having raced freely. Can give her running again. Twice a runner-up over about 1m on turf and also ran creditably on latest start.
8th	10 8th (10) (125/1 -56%) Rainbow Sign	125 125/1(-56%)	(10) Rainbow Sign 125/1, Won twice at Lingfield (both 7f, AW) in 2022 and best effort this year when third at the same C&D in April. However, well below form at Brighton last 2 starts, so it's easy enough to look elsewhere. No show when 50-1 at Brighton latest, after two months off; 6lb out of the handicap.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -60%) Plymouth Rock	80 80/1(-60%)	(9) Plymouth Rock 80/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020 and, after 12 weeks off, finished well held in minor event at Kempton (1m) when last seen in January. Cheekpieces back on as he returns from 6 months off. Last won in 2020 and not much of substance to latch on to since; off since January.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 -40%) Rivas Rob Roy	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Rivas Rob Roy 14/1, Completed a quick-fire hat-trick at Brighton (all at 1m) when landing 6-runner handicap 23 days ago, forging ahead to score with something to spare. Up in grade but he's respected in his current form. Seen mostly at Brighton, where he's won over 1m on his last three starts; on a roll.

LTO Selection:

17:55 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Darvel was able to exploit his sliding handicap mark when winning at Brighton 16 days ago and he merits respect from 4lb higher. Rivas Rob Roy is another that warrants serious consideration, having brought up his hat-trick last time out, but preference is for NEW HEIGHTS. Jonathan Portman's mare was successful in this contest 12 months ago from a 3lb lower mark, but she remains fairly treated and the application of first-time cheekpieces could bring about a change in fortunes.

Back on turf, GOLDSMITH shaped well having been left with plenty to do at Sandown 13 days ago and he's on a workable mark based on his all-weather form. The 4-y-o can build on his latest effort to record a first success on this surface, though Darvel arrives on the back of a win last time and is feared most. Kimifive completes the shortlist.

Recent Brighton winners Darvel and Rivas Rob Roy are repsected. NEW HEIGHTS, who won this race last year, gets the vote.

18:30 Epsom Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 +50%) Aragon Castle	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(1) Aragon Castle 5.5/1, Sales price increased to 120,000 gns as a yearling but made a low-key start when seventh of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to step forward from that first experience with tongue strap now applied. Promise on debut; can do better & stable have fine record with 2yos here; tongue-tie added.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 -20%) Mission To Moon	3 3/1(-20%)	(6) Mission To Moon 3/1, Half-brother to several winners but held back by inexperience on debut. Improved from that run when second at Kempton (7f) a fortnight ago, despite still looking far from the finished article, so he's respected with further progress to come. Good 2nd at Kempton two weeks ago despite running green; solid form candidate.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 +72%) Drink Dry	14 14/1(+72%)	(2) Drink Dry 14/1, Raced too freely on his first outing when fourth of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month, not knocked about. Others preferred. Modest form when 4th on last month's Lingfield debut; can do better but needs to.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 -50%) Rosenzoo	33 33/1(-50%)	(8) Rosenzoo 33/1, Quite stoutly bred and made little impact on debut when fifth of 6 in maiden at Ayr (6f, firm) last month. Much more required but the extra furlong should help. Didn't live up to market billing on last month's Ayr debut; capable of better.
5th	4 5th (4) (0.8/1 +27%) Inner City	0.8 0.8/1(+27%)	(4) Inner City 0.8/1, Bred to be smart and shaped promisingly when fourth in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on debut in June. Still green when unable to build on that effort at Sandown 15 days later, but he remains with potential and can get off the mark this time around. Beaten favourite in both starts but he's run to a useful level; leading form claims.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 -22%) Hawa Jumeirah	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Hawa Jumeirah 11/1, Foaled March 15. Universal colt. Dam 2-y-o 5f/5.4f winner. Has a fair standard to aim at on debut for yard looking for their first 2-y-o winner of the season. Dam a useful 5f winner; sire a stamina influence; best watched unless strong in betting.
7th	5 7th (5) (200/1 -100%) Mighty Pearl	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Mighty Pearl 200/1, Offered little in two starts last month, last of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) on the second occasion. Looks to be up against it once more. He would be a surprise winner having been well beaten in two runs over shorter.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -177%) Rey De La Batalla	18 18/1(-177%)	(7) Rey De La Batalla 18/1, Sent off at 100/1 but showed promise first time up when third in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June, taking third well inside the final 1f. Open to improvement with the step up in trip to suit. Promising 3rd over 6f on last month's AW debut; 7f should suit; one to take seriously.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Epsom Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

INNER CITY failed to build on a promising debut effort when finishing third at Sandown last month, but the son of Dubawi, a 1,100,000gns purchase, remains open to improvement and is fancied to put his superior experience to good use. Mission To Moon makes plenty of appeal following his recent Kempton second, while others to note include Drink Dry and Aragon Castle.

Having shown plenty of ability on debut, INNER CITY was still green when only third at Sandown next time but the son of Dubawi remains capable of better and can open his account at the third attempt. Mission To Moon improved from his first start when runner-up at Kempton 2 weeks ago and is feared most, ahead of Rey de La Batalla.

Mission To Moon is still capable of better but INNER CITY may be able to strike at the third attempt.

19:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Ernie's Valentine	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Ernie's Valentine 4.5/1, Eleven runs since his last win in 2021 but has produced two of his better efforts on turf this season, placing at Goodwood and Leicester (both at 7f) in May/June. Not ideally placed at Newmarket (6f) 26 days ago, so no surprise to see him bounce back. Placed twice this summer over 7f; perhaps it was 6f which found him out on latest outing.
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +53%) G'Daay	4 4/1(+53%)	(4) G'Daay 4/1, Four-time winner last year and, with a visor applied, has returned for form lately, only finding one too good over C&D last time. Should give another good account. C&D second 15 days ago was up with his best turf form, so he's back in calculations.
2	5 2nd (5) (2.75/1 +31%) Metahorse	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(5) Metahorse 2.75/1, Novice winner at Chester for Michael Bell last year and produced most encouraging effort for his current yard when third in a handicap there last time. Could build on that. Close third over 7.6f at Chester three weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces for new stable.
3	9 3rd (9) (14/1 -27%) Cobalt Blue	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Cobalt Blue 14/1, Runner-up twice at 2 yrs but yet to find his form this term and others make more appeal. Latest effort won't be winning this but at least it was a step back in right direction.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 -67%) Alazwar	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(6) Alazwar 7.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, very good fourth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago, running on. Well treated and looked an unlucky loser last time, so worth chancing to make amends. Went very close at Musselburgh (1m) latest; no headgear now; something to prove back at 7f.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 +36%) Seductive Power	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) Seductive Power 9/1, Blinkered for first time and ran right up to form when third of 11 in handicap at Goodwood in May but failed to back it up there last time. Placed in three of her five races this season but the other two were heavy defeats.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +47%) Little Boy Blue	4 4/1(+47%)	(2) Little Boy Blue 4/1, Having dropped below his last winning mark, built on the promise of his previous run when gaining a battling success at Chepstow in June. Solid showing when third over C&D since and remains on a handy mark. Four-time Brighton winner who has been second or third in all three visits here.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 -10%) Barging Thru	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Barging Thru 11/1, Latest win at Chelmsford in March. Back to form when third at Kempton last time and should be well positioned again. Can front-run; all three wins have been AW; well held on his only turf run this term.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 -17%) Secret Strength	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Secret Strength 7/1, In good form of late and gained some reward when scoring cosily at Newbury last time. Might have been at a slight advantage in where he raced that day, however, and looked a little awkward under pressure. Not the best of strike-rates but came from last to first at Newbury (7f) on latest outing.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

With plenty of these likely to vie for a prominent position, things could set up nicely for recent Newbury scorer SECRET STRENGTH. He kept on well from off the pace to lead close home that day, so a ferocious gallop at this trip might tap into his stamina reserves. Only 3lb higher for that victory, he can repel the challenge of Metahorse, who hit the frame over an extended seven furlongs at Chester last time out. G'daay (second) and Little Boy Blue (third) are closely matched on their recent C&D meeting and both are of interest once more.

Having dropped in the weights, ALAZWAR shaped best when fourth at Musselburgh last time and he's worth a chance to confirm that encouragement. In-form G'Daay is an obvious threat and there's a case to be made for Ernie's Valentine.

Run of the race will be important but METAHORSE gets the vote ahead of Ernie's Valentine and Secret Strength.

19:35 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (0.83/1 +31%) Golden Maverick	0.83 0.83/1(+31%)	(5) Golden Maverick 0.83/1, Followed up a successful handicap debut with another comfortable success at Southwell. Resumed winning ways at Leicester 12 days ago and should make another bold bid. Making good progress in handicaps and latest 2lb rise looks manageable; big chance.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 -10%) Ectocross	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(6) Ectocross 2.75/1, Winner at Lingfield in March and produced a career best when 3-length winner over C&D last week. Obvious claims under a penalty. Strong at the finish when winning over C&D last week; one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 +6%) Grey Fox	8 8/1(+6%)	(1) Grey Fox 8/1, Yet to hit top form this term but latest run was respectable and has now dipped below last winning mark. Down to a good mark but he needs to raise his game now back up in distance; drops in class.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 +0%) Dotties Star	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Dotties Star 16/1, Fair form in a trio of bumpers and similar form on the Flat, though only sixth of 7 on handicap debut at this C&D (good) 15 days ago. No improvement for switch to h'caps when 6th of 7 over C&D 2 weeks ago; lots more needed.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 +0%) Bauhinia Rhapsody	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Bauhinia Rhapsody 6/1, Yet to match 2-y-o form but did at least take a step back in the right direction when sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 8/1) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Not matched 2yo form so far this year; new trip needs to give him a lift.

LTO Selection:

19:35 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A taking winner at Leicester last time out, GOLDEN MAVERICK has been in fine form of late and a fourth triumph in six starts could be in the offing for the son of Zarak. Despite conceding weight all round, Grey Fox can't be discounted now stepped back up in trip and may give the selection plenty to think about, while C&D winner Ectocross also has the form to get involved in proceedings.

ECTOCROSS ran out a decisive winner over C&D last week so is taken to defy a penalty. Golden Maverick improved again when notching a third handicap win at Leicester and looks the obvious danger.

Ectocross won well here last week but GOLDEN MAVERICK is progressing nicely and may have his measure tonight.

20:05 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (33/1 -50%) Margaret's Fuchsia	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Margaret's Fuchsia 33/1, Still a maiden and she came in only eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 16 days ago. Others appeal more. Placed from the front in two of her handicaps but right out of form on last two outings.
1	8 1st (8) (5.5/1 +45%) Twilight Dancer	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(8) Twilight Dancer 5.5/1, Fair maiden who posted a creditable third of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 16 days ago. In the mix again eased 1 lb. Creditable third of nine at Brighton (7f, good to firm) on turf debut; needs a bit extra.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.5/1 +40%) Inverinate	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(2) Inverinate 1.5/1, Got off the mark at Chelmsford City in June and backed it up with a good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Can go well again despite a 2 lb rise. Two seconds on good to firm at Lingfield either side of his AW win at Chelmsford, all 7f.
3	10 3rd (10) (20/1 +9%) Blue Curacao	20 20/1(+9%)	(10) Blue Curacao 20/1, Off 6 months/first run since leaving Richard Hannon when fading seventh of 8 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Can give a good account with that run under her belt. Not so good recently on debut for new yard but that was her first run since January.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +55%) Optiva Star	9 9/1(+55%)	(1) Optiva Star 9/1, Remains a maiden after 8 runs and only ninth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) 54 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Inconsistent nine-race maiden; tried 5f on latest start; now hooded first time.
5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 +11%) Fayasel	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Fayasel 4/1, Scored at Wolverhampton in March and in good form since, third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. On the premises if the first-time headgear has no adverse effect.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 -75%) H Key Lails	7 7/1(-75%)	(3) H Key Lails 7/1, Final run for Craig Lidster when winning 8.6f handicap at Wolverhampton in May and made a very good start for his new yard when second at Brighton (7f) 16 day ago. May do better still so he's a player. Made a good start for his new trainer when second of nine at Brighton (7f, good to firm).
7th	5 7th (5) (9/1 +25%) Muy Muy Guapo	9 9/1(+25%)	(5) Muy Muy Guapo 9/1, Arrives in decent nick, sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 25/1) 14 days ago, never nearer. One for the shortlist now steping back up in trip. 10lb lower than on handicap debut but others have more pressing claims.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -14%) Hawajes	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Hawajes 16/1, Fair maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when good fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 24 days ago. Much respected now going into handicaps. Some ability for Richard Hannon and new yard; gelded; unexposed handicap/turf debutant.

LTO Selection:

20:05 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

H KEY LAILS ran an excellent race when second on his debut for the Michael Attwater yard at Brighton and he must hold every chance if building on that effort. Conditions are in his favour once more and he can master the likes of Inverinate, who has not been outside the first two in his last three starts, and Fayasel, who sports cheekpieces for the first time.

Little between the principals on form but H KEY LAILS arrives on the up so he edges the vote from in-form duo Inverinate and Fayasel, who can chase home Michael Attwater's new recruit in that order. Blue Curacao completes the shortlist.

The solid options look to be INVERINATE and H Key Lails who look set for big runs if their last three starts are anything to go by.

20:05 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

20:40 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7.5/1 +6%) Night Eagle	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(6) Night Eagle 7.5/1, C&D winner last summer and offered more than on his reappearance when fifth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 47 days ago. Claims if building on that. Two wins, a 2nd and a 3rd from four appearances here put him into serious calculations.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +40%) Naasma	6 6/1(+40%)	(7) Naasma 6/1, Found improvement when scoring at Lingfield (10f) last month and backed that up with solid second of 6 in handicap at Windsor (10f, firm, 3/1) 18 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and is not out of things. 1st and 2nd over 1m2f on last two outings and now looks worth a go at 1m4f.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 -22%) Sword Beach	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Sword Beach 11/1, Been given a chance by the handicapper and posted creditable fourth at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 48 days ago, not ideally placed. Warrants respect. Fourth of nine at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) last time gave some renewed hope.
4	8 4th (8) (1.5/1 +20%) Spritzin'	1.5 1.5/1(+20%)	(8) Spritzin' 1.5/1, Promising sort who upped her game when close second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft, 9/2) on return 9 days ago. Likely more to come yet. H'cap/seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m4f, good) last week, making most and beaten a neck.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 -43%) Red Royalist	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Red Royalist 5/1, Ended long losing run when taking 8-runner handicap at Chester (12.3f, heavy) 5 days ago. Can race off same mark and is one for the shortlist. Ended a long losing run at Chester (1m4f, soft) five days ago; due to go back up 2lb.
6th	9 6th (9) (16/1 +0%) Angels Roc	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Angels Roc 16/1, Won twice last season and posted best effort this term when fourth of 11 in handicap over C&D (good) 15 days ago, never nearer. His slow-starting habit is a concern, though. Came from tenth of the 11 runners when below-form fourth over C&D on latest outing.
7th	4 7th (4) (4.5/1 +72%) Nellie Moon	4.5 4.5/1(+72%)	(4) Nellie Moon 4.5/1, Ran poorly when last seen at Newbury 13 months ago and is likely best watched on return. Unraced since May 2022; too far down the weights to be comfortably ruled out.

LTO Selection:

20:40 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SPRITZIN' made an impression when stepped up in trip and was runner-up on her handicap debut at Pontefract last time out. She is taken to go one better on this occasion. Haydock scorer Typical Woman looks to be her main danger, along with Red Royalist, who was determined winner over slightly further at Chester on Saturday. Naasma and Sword Beach can also have a say in proceedings.

There should be more to come from SPRITZIN', who looked a different proposition when stepped up to this trip at Pontefract last week. She can land the finale. Red Royalist and Typical Woman rate the principal dangers.

Most arrive after positive recent performances but only one has major potential and that is the Prescott 3yo SPRITZIN' (nap).

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.
