Bobacious

1.2
6/5(+56%)
(2) Bobacious 6/5, Well backed and ran to his best when landing a handicap by a length off 65 at Leicester last time. Enjoys front-running. Suited by 10f and fast ground, generally very consistent and looks on a competitive mark.
Made all under Mason Paetel at Leicester last month and that form has been franked.

Creditable runs this year in first two h'caps; the cheekpieces may eke out something extra.

Fihrayn

18/1(-50%)
(5) Fihrayn 18/1, Yard has won two of the last nine runnings of this race. Below par again when beaten 7¼l in a handicap over 11f at Windsor last time. Ideally suited by 10f, acts on good ground, and hintimg at a return to form.

(4) Early Morning Dew 14/1, Below form on return from hurdling when beaten 7½l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 10f but seems best suited by 12f. Acts on fast ground, but has a bit to prove.
A return to form is needed but this C&D winner is on a handy mark and not written off.

18:20 Epsom Downs (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

TEX has plenty of scope for improvement and is a highly appealing option on just his third start in a handicap. Beaten just over two lengths when stepped up to 1m2f at Newbury last month, the son of Dark Angel looks worth chancing with first-time cheekpieces complementing a tongue-tie. The recent Leicester winner Bobacious, along with the well-handicapped Annexation are other solid contenders.

Mason Paetel made all on BOBACIOUS (nap) at Leicester last month and that form is working out nicely. He is the pick ahead of Tex.

18:50 Epsom Downs (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ibshara sets the standard and should have an impact given she is entitled to be wiser after a couple of promising efforts at Kempton and Newmarket last month. However, the bar isn't set remarkably high and it could be worth chancing CAPALL RASA. A 68,000-euros purchase as a yearling, the son of Foostepsinthesand boasts a notable pedigree and shouldn't have too many issues starting out over 7f. Starlight Time and Fletcher are other newcomers to monitor in the betting.

Supreme Chief (feared most) and Starlight Time are interesting newcomers but this could go to IBSHARA, who has solid form.

19:23 Epsom Downs (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ALZAHIR won with plenty in hand at Chester on Saturday and seems well equipped to follow up. It's an added bonus that he has previous course experience and, with Warren Fentiman effectively cancelling out a penalty with his 5lb claim, he is hard to oppose. Mister Bluebird is feared most despite going up 4lb for his Goodwood success, while Far Above Dream is a fair alternative if his recent no-show in a deeper race at York can be forgiven.

The 3yo FAR ABOVE DREAM remains one to be interested in for James Owen. He's taken to make it two out of three for the yard.

19:58 Epsom Downs (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Having made a perfect stable debut at Goodwood last month, BIG BEAR HUG could be open to more improvement. A 2lb rise in the ratings for the six-year-old shouldn't forestall another bold bid and she edges the verdict over Golden Circet. The Jim & Suzi Best-trained gelding arrives on the back of a respectable third over 1m2f at Windsor and he looks ready for this extra distance. The unexposed Sudu is also of interest.

Following his luckless run at Newbury, SUDU could be a warm order to gain compensation. Big Bear Hug is feared most.

20:30 Epsom Downs (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Having opened his account in classified company at Lingfield last month, Jack Langley warrants respect on his follow-up bid. However, a handicap mark of 54 does demand improvement from Simon Dow's gelding and the most solid proposition looks to be STINTINO SUNSET. The five-year-old posted a solid third at Windsor a month ago and she looks more than capable of scoring at this level. Charles Morin may fare best of the remainder.

A chance is taken that FIGHTING POET can stage the same revival he produced in this race last year, only this time go one better.

DIAMONDONTHEHILL supplemented his victory on the all-weather with a good second at Goodwood in May. The son of Al Kazeem is of strong interest off an unchanged mark and a seventh career victory may beckon. The biggest danger may emerge from dual C&D winner Hodler, who has hit the frame on his last two outings, while Mafnood has also run with credit at this venue in the past.

Having shown some solid form in defeat in 3yo handicaps this year, MISS COLLADA is taken to post her first win of the season.

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.
