17:50 Epsom Downs (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a taking success at Newcastle last Saturday, ETRETAT should have plenty more to come and can follow up in this apprentice handicap. His Finest Hour may have disappointed over further at Newbury last time out, but he is best judged on his previous win at the same track, while Risen Again arrives on the back of a respectable third at Beverley.

Risen Again is likely to try and make all which should provide a nice lead for HIS FINEST HOUR to assert when it matters.

18:25 Epsom Downs (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The Owen Burrows stable can do little wrong at present and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for HENGROIN to get off the mark, following a respectable seventh in what looked like a strong maiden at Newmarket recently. Runner-up at Windsor on his penultimate outing, the son of Lucky Vega is preferred to Norfolk Blue, who showed up well when second at Lingfield earlier in the month. Parole Officer is another to note.

It was a strong maiden at Newmarket in which HENGROIN finished in the pack and he holds Norfolk Blue on their Windsor clash.

19:00 Epsom Downs (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

KING'S CASTLE continues to go from strength to strength and is 4lb well-in following his most recent success at Sandown in an apprentice race. The step up to 1m4f can bring about further improvement and it may be that Woodstock City gives him the most to think about, having dropped to a mark 3lb lower than his last win. Runner-up when last seen on the level last October, Chips And Rice is capable of going well.

With no penalty to carry for winning last week at Sandown, KING'S CASTLE must have every chance of completing his hat-trick.

19:30 Epsom Downs (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Just the four runners declared for this handicap but it's still competitive stuff, with REVELANCE put forward as the selection given she seems to be improving with each run and there was a lot to like about the way she knuckled down for the win at Salisbury. Pink Azalea is on a hat-trick and has improved no end since going handicapping, so she's respected along with Hamilton scorer Brielle.

Both BRIELLE and Revelance made all to win their novices so tactics will be crucial, but David O'Meara's 3yo edges preference.

20:00 Epsom Downs (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Miakoda is arguably the safe play in here given we know he's on good terms with himself following his last two Chepstow outings, and James Owen's gelding isn't short of experience. However, the eye is still drawn to UNCLE SIMON's unexposed profile and he improved again on his handicap debut at Redcar when only beaten a neck into second. Keep an eye on Graduated too.

Miakoda will be popular but UNCLE SIMON (nap) and Rajinoora are feasible alternatives after their decent handicap debuts.

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

Assuming TWIRLER copes with the quick turnaround, she could be difficult to stop in the finale as she impressed when dropped back to this trip at Windsor last Saturday. She's got a 5lb penalty to contend with but connections appear to have found her another very winnable heat. Recent Chester runner-up Simply Blue heads the list of dangers from Muscika.

David O'Meara's admirable veteran MUSCIKA ran well enough in a higher grade here recently to believe he might see off these.

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.
