(5) Raakeb 14/1, Winning debut at Ripon before creditable third of six in decent race at Beverley; should stay 6f on pedigree; that last run hinted at limitations and probably vulnerable win-wise.
Won at Ripon then ran well at Beverley; hard to dismiss on bare figures.

(4) Norman's Cay 12/1, Winning debut at Doncaster back in March, getting up very late; this extra furlong can help and while the signs are that wasn't a strong running of the Brocklesby, has to be respected.
Absent since narrowly justifying favouritism in the Brocklesby; open to progress.

14:05 Epsom Downs (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Havana Hurricane overcame a tardy start to make a successful debut over 5f at Goodwood and reopposing runner-up Logi Bear franked that form when winning readily over this trip at Newmarket. Norman's Cay justified favouritism when getting up on the line in the Brocklesby and will almost certainly improve for this extra furlong, but MAXIMIZED rates the one to beat. He looked very laid-back prior to his Haydock introduction and did everything easily during the race, eventually beating a better-fancied stablemate eased down. Providing slower ground doesn't bother him, he can complete a double.

Judged on form and other factors, HAVANA HURRICANE holds particularly solid claims. Logi Bear and Maximized are respected.

10/3(+17%)
(6) Jan Brueghel 10/3, Four from four (10f-14f) last year, winding up with St Leger win in September; satisfactory return in April, when probably needed it; it's far from impossible but now needs a career-best.
Looked a difficult ride on reappearance; unbeaten previously; won the 2024 St Leger.

Finished behind Calandagan last time but isn't fully exposed over this trip.

(4) Continuous 66/1, St Leger winner in 2023 but just one Gr 3 win since and no longer looks quite up to this level; sometimes front-runs and may well do so again here; up against it on recent evidence.
Has become inconsistent; possibly in here as pacemaker for Jan Brueghel.

(1) Ancient Wisdom 22/1, Down the field in the Derby here last year but this Gr 1-winning 2yo is a smart performer at his best, as when second at Sandown (10f; stays 13f) last time; more needed here, though.
Group 1 winner as a 2yo; ran well in Group 3 last time; this demands a career best.

Took well to first-time cheekpieces in Group 2 at Newmarket; harder task but could go well.

40/1(-186%)
(7) You Got To Me 40/1, Irish Oaks winner last year; 14f probably too far in the St Leger last time in September; changed ownership for 4,800,000gns since; has won first time out twice; career-best needed here.
Irish Oaks winner; may have more to offer back at 1m4f; interesting on reappearance.

14:40 Epsom Downs (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to oppose CALANDAGAN, who produced numerous top-class performances last season, including a six-length romp in the King Edward VII Stakes and a highly-creditable second to City Of Troy in the Juddmonte International. There was a lot to like about his comeback second in the Dubai Sheema Classic, coming from off the pace and recording the best finishing sectionals, and a first Group 1 success looms large. Last year's St Leger hero Jan Brueghel will appreciate stepping back up in distance and rates the biggest threat, ahead of Hong Kong Vase scorer Giavellotto, who was behind Calandagan at Meydan.

French runner CALANDAGAN appears set to open his Group 1 account. You Got To Me is suggested for the forecast.

Ecureuil Secret

28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Ecureuil Secret 28/1, Pretty useful form in good company last season, mostly for Edward O'Grady but did run well for this yard on final start; won on debut last season; has been gelded; needs a bit more here.
Minor honours in two Group 3s and three Listed races since a winning debut; been gelded.

Akecheta

8.5
17/2(+29%)
(9) Akecheta 17/2, 5yo who only made her debut in May 2024; ran okay after a tardy start last time; the return to 10f is fine and very much a contender on her peak efforts.
No win since debut but she's running well and this step back up in trip can suit her.

Westerton

11
11/1(+45%)
(10) Westerton 11/1, Just the one win, in a maiden as a 3yo; ran very respectably last time but bit to prove overall and others more solid all told.
2024 was pretty disappointing but some late headway on both starts (1m2f; 25-1) this term.

Defiance

5.5
11/2(-38%)
(4) Defiance 11/2, Yard has won three of last 10 runnings of race; ended last season on low-key note and been off a year (gelded since); interesting on seasonal debut second over C&D (Listed) last spring.
Went the wrong way last term, absent since Royal Ascot Group 2; one to note though.
5th

Mutaawid

4.5
9/2(-29%)
(2) Mutaawid 9/2, Some improvement when winning well at Newmarket last time; 10lb higher in better grade now but this comparatively lightly-raced brother to top-class Mostahdaf may well improve again.
Made most to score by 6l in a six-runner race at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); up 10lb.

Warda Jamila

18
18/1(+10%)
(11) Warda Jamila 18/1, Bit disappointing last time, a run that takes some explaining away; promising C&D reappearance run the time before; this filly doesn't have much scope for manoeuvre off this mark.
C&D reappearance looked promising, followed by rather a shocker when favourite at Chester.
7th

7th (7) Ashariba (11/1 +8%)
Ashariba

11
11/1(+8%)
(7) Ashariba 11/1, Excellent progress last season and by no means weighted out of this up 6lb since latest win in October; off since and has run only with cut on turf but very much respected all the same.
Won five of eight races; it's hard to rule out further improvement if she returns on song.

Botanical

3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(1) Botanical 10/3, Below-par on AW last time, though possibly did too much too soon and may be better on grass; big form chance on such as last July's second in top York handicap; cheekpieces now.
Cheekpieces first time; big shout if returning to form he showed last season.

50/1(-100%)
(5) Flying Finn 50/1, Ran okay when run was probably needed on seasonal debut in March; fair mark on peak efforts but current form an unknown and may ideally want slower ground; 10f stamina unproven.
Both 1m2f runs were heavy defeats, admittedly stiff tasks; easily best results in the mud.

Rathgar

6.5
13/2(+46%)
(12) Rathgar 13/2, Just a respectable third at Chester last time but peak efforts, including previous front-running second over C&D, make him a definite contender
Versatile with ground and trip; reliable sort including last two starts (C&D and Chester).

(13) Son Of Man 40/1, Sound run upped to 1m2f on the AW last time while he is just as good on grass; bit more needed here though and sole win was on his racecourse debut.
Knocking on the door on AW this spring but he may be vulnerable in this high a grade.

(8) Have Secret 9/1, In very good form this spring, last time second at Ripon last week; 2lb well-in off same mark now; this will be his third run in just three weeks but solid each-way claims otherwise.
Chester 2nds; won at Ripon (1m2f, good) in April; good placed efforts on both starts since.
13th

Simply Sondheim

28
28/1(-27%)
(6) Simply Sondheim 28/1, Pulled up at Doncaster latest in November, reportedly finishing lame; C&D winner before that but that was on heavy and may ideally need it slower; others appeal more.
Big 2024 highlight was last-to-first win over C&D in September; best on softer than good.

15:15 Epsom Downs (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MUTAAWID went some way to living up to his top-class pedigree when scoring easily at Newmarket and a 10lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going in again. Botanical must enter calculations on his first start in handicap company since finishing second in the John Smith's Cup last summer, while Irish raider Akecheta caught the eye when not getting a clear run and keeping on late in a valuable contest over a mile at the Curragh. Arriving here on a four-timer after ending last season in top form, Ashariba is of interest on her return, as are Rathgar and Defiance.

Irish mare AKECHETA may arrive late to winning effect. Defiance is feared most, ahead of Botanical and Ashariba.

(1) Desert Flower , Five from five, including reappearance success in the 1,000 Guineas last time; stayed 1m very well as a 2yo, which is a positive as regards 12f stamina now; likely class edge if she stays.
Unbeaten in five races; sure to stay beyond 1m after Guineas win but 1m4f is big question.

16:00 Epsom Downs (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

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

DESERT FLOWER looks more than capable of giving Charlie Appleby a first Oaks success. Unbeaten in five career outings, the daughter of Night Of Thunder only ever seems to do enough and the way she finished off the 1000 Guineas gave a strong indication that she may relish this rise in distance. A taking winner of the Cheshire Oaks, Minnie Hauk must enter calculations as a proven stayer but the best of the Ballydoyle contingent may be Whirl, who produced a career-best performance when landing the Musidora at York. Hailing from a family that includes Oaks winner Look Here, Revoir is another to consider on the rise in trip, as is the supplemented Elwateen, who caught the eye on only her second start when a highly-encouraging fourth in the Guineas.

Pedigree prompts doubts about 1m4f for Desert Flower, so WEMIGHTAKEDLONGWAY (nap) and Whirl look the most appealing options.

Capitalised on rail draw at Chester last time; won this 12 months ago and he's respected.

7/1(-40%)
(1) Flight Plan 7/1, First win since Gr 2 win in 2023 when making all under well-judged ride to win useful race at Thirsk last time; wide draw could have been better but 3lb rise is fair and has to be respected.
Made all in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last month and remains well treated on his old form.

(8) Mr Baloo 10/1, Had a fine AW campaign and then ran to form back on grass at Newmarket last time; won here as a 2yo; very much respected in his current consistent vein of form.
Prolific on AW this year and good third when back on turf at Newmarket; one to consider.

16:35 Epsom Downs (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having dictated the pace to lift the Thirsk Hunt Cup, Flight Plan should give another bold sight. However, Karl Burke's charge may have more competition for the lead and a 3lb higher mark could be enough to prevent him from following up. With that in mind, last year's winner of this contest TWO TEMPTING might be the answer. The six-year-old displayed his well-being with a triumph at Chester and a 5lb rise looks workable. Ebt's Guard and Mr Baloo are others to note.

Topweight FLIGHT PLAN returned to winning ways in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last month and this class act is taken to defy a modest 3lb rise.

(11) Partisan Hero 7/2, In-form front-runner who ran very well when upped in grade at Chester (7.6f) last time; drop to a bare 7f is an unknown while he's up 6lb (plus without good claimer's 5lb allowance).
Runner-up at Chester latest; continues to climb weights but he's progressive and respected.

(2) Golden Mind 25/1, Form has dipped on the AW lately, last time in first-time blinkers (left off now); used to act on grass; risky proposition on that latest evidence.

Won this last year and following same route as 12 months ago; has to be high on the list.

17:10 Epsom Downs (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

C&D winner MISS INFORMATION arrives on the back of a cosy victory at Newmarket and there could be more to come. Andrew Balding's filly is on an upward curve at present and she can make light work of a 4lb rise. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Darkness, who bounced back to form with a comfortable triumph at Thirsk last month, although last year's hero Rhoscolyn cannot be dismissed lightly.

The highly admirable RHOSCOLYN is taken to win this race for the third time, having posted an encouraging sixth at Chester recently.

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.
