3
1st (3) (5.5/1 -83%) Recon Mission
5.5
5.5/1(-83%)
(3) Recon Mission 5.5/1, Finally cashed in on a reduced mark in 5-runner handicap at Lingfield in December. Merely ticking over on the AW since but he is at least fit ahead of switch to turf.
6
2nd (6) (3/1 +25%) Dark Shot
3
3/1(+25%)
(6) Dark Shot 3/1, Kept very busy in 2020 and now 5 lb below his last winning mark, gained at Leicester in September. Disappointing spell at Southwell during the winter.
5
3rd (5) (5/1 -25%) Duke Of Firenze
5
5/1(-25%)
(5) Duke Of Firenze 5/1, Likeable veteran who added to career tally at Lingfield 10 days ago. Well held on rare turf start these days prior to that so others are more persuasive.
4
4th (4) (3.5/1 +0%) Militia
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(4) Militia 3.5/1, In the form of his life last summer, bringing up the hat-trick at Musselburgh. Standards dipped slightly after but he returns on that last winning mark. Has had a wind op.
1
5th (1) (12/1 +14%) Green Power
12
12/1(+14%)
(1) Green Power 12/1, Well treated on what he is doing in the summer of 2019 but hasn't stood much racing in recent times and he looks a declining force. First-time blinkers reached for.
2
6th (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Spoof
3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(2) Spoof 3.5/1, Completed hat-trick in 9-runner handicap at Windsor in September. Wasn't on his game back on the AW in December but has gone well fresh in the past.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(8) Wirko 5.5/1, Built on promising debut when readily landing 1m Kempton novice in November. Yard's 3-y-o colts dominated some good races at Newmarket/Newbury last week so market confidence significant.
9
2nd (9) (22/1 -100%) Technique
22
22/1(-100%)
(9) Technique 22/1, Knew her job but still looked potentially useful when making a winning start at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January. This a tough ask on second run but should have more to come.
7
3rd (7) (1.1/1 +8%) Uncle Bryn
1.1
1.1/1(+8%)
(7) Uncle Bryn 1.1/1, Won maiden/novice events on AW last autumn. Top stable has very good record in this, winning it 4 times since 2015, including with top-class Cracksman.
1
4th (1) (10/1 +0%) Pythagoras
10
10/1(+0%)
(1) Pythagoras 10/1, Three wins in productive 2-y-o campaign, culminating with 1m Pontefract listed success in October. Shoulders a 3 lb penalty for that and there's a suspicion a couple of these might improve past him.
3
5th (3) (14/1 -56%) Hector De Maris
14
14/1(-56%)
(3) Hector De Maris 14/1, Improved in nurseries last autumn, posting a useful effort when scoring over 7f on heavy ground at Naas at the start of November. Top yard won the latest running of this race in 2019. Has hood added.
6
6th (6) (9/1 -13%) Too Friendly
9
9/1(-13%)
(6) Too Friendly 9/1, Progressive form, looking a very useful prospect when seeing off a couple of promising sorts in 1¼m Doncaster maiden last month. Can make his presence felt at this higher level.
4
7th (4) (5/1 +23%) Star Caliber
5
5/1(+23%)
(4) Star Caliber 5/1, Displayed a likeable attitude when making a successful start to his career at Goodwood (1m) in September. One of a few in this line-up who looks to have a bright future.
5
|PU| (5) (50/1 -150%) Surprise Exhibit
50
50/1(-150%)
(5) Surprise Exhibit 50/1, Made all in 8.6f Wolverhampton maiden last year but limitations seemingly exposed in listed company at the end of last summer. Goes up in trip on return.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Epsom Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Victory Chime 8/1, Likeable type who enhanced his good record when making all at Pontefract in September. Respectable third there on return 2 weeks ago and won over this C&D as a 4-y-o. Considered.
1
2nd (1) (9/1 -20%) Sky Defender
9
9/1(-20%)
(1) Sky Defender 9/1, Smart horse. Mixed record on AW this year but produced one of his best performances when winning a C&D handicap last summer off 5 lb lower so definite claims can be made for this prominent racer.
8
3rd (8) (5.5/1 +15%) Alfred Boucher
5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(8) Alfred Boucher 5.5/1, Held his form well in defeat last season, placed 3 times, including on return. Bit more needed to resume winning ways, though.
10
4th (10) (6.5/1 +7%) Sarvan
6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(10) Sarvan 6.5/1, Shaped well when close third in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap on reappearance but didn't convince with his finishing effort back on turf when fourth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good).
7
5th (7) (6.5/1 -44%) Blue Cup
6.5
6.5/1(-44%)
(7) Blue Cup 6.5/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who quickly developed into a useful performer for this yard last season, winning 16-runner handicap at Sandown by 5 lengths before good fifth in useful event in France. Respected.
6
6th (6) (22/1 -83%) Man Of The Night
22
22/1(-83%)
(6) Man Of The Night 22/1, Recorded a very useful effort when second in strong Newmarket handicap on final 3-y-o start in July. Not seen to best effect in Lincoln Trial on return but well held in Lincoln at Doncaster since.
2
7th (2) (6.5/1 -63%) Harrovian
6.5
6.5/1(-63%)
(2) Harrovian 6.5/1, Good effort when defying top weight in Doncaster handicap over this trip in June. Disappointed in John Smith's Cup at York but resumed progress when second at Newmarket. Shortlist material on return.
9
8th (9) (3.33/1 +52%) Good Birthday
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(9) Good Birthday 3.33/1, Not entirely straightforward but he's gone well fresh before and starts the season on a very good mark based on his best form. No surprise were he to bounce back.
5
9th (5) (10/1 +17%) Celtic Art
10
10/1(+17%)
(5) Celtic Art 10/1, Goodwood maiden winner at 2 yrs and ran well in 10f handicap there on return in July. Didn't stay 14f in Group 3 next time but shaped as if amiss in Cambridgeshire final start. Remains low mileage.
4
10th (4) (33/1 -230%) Duckett's Grove
33
33/1(-230%)
(4) Duckett's Grove 33/1, Progressive 3-y-o in first spell for this yard. Struggled to make an impact in Hong Kong last year but didn't shape too badly back with this yard at Chelmsford on return. This should reveal more.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Epsom Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(5) Fast Steps 8/1, Appealing pedigree and while he was no match for Jacinth on debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) in October, that rival had experience on her side (not to mention strong form). Open to improvement.
2
2nd (2) (1.62/1 +7%) Silent Film
1.62
1.62/1(+7%)
(2) Silent Film 1.62/1, Promising second to stablemate Highland Avenue (dual winner again since, including in listed company) at Kempton in January. Went one better at Lingfield (1m, AW) next time and he possesses potential.
8
3rd (8) (2/1 +20%) Noble Patron
2
2/1(+20%)
(8) Noble Patron 2/1, Nearer last than first sole 2-y-o start (subsequently gelded), but proved a different proposition when a close third on recent return at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm). Bold show on the cards.
9
4th (9) (9/1 -80%) Rival
9
9/1(-80%)
(9) Rival 9/1, Promising start to his career when runner-up at Haydock last summer, but failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts (hung left on each occasion). Has been gelded and needs to get back on track.
3
5th (3) (6.5/1 +7%) Alpha King
6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(3) Alpha King 6.5/1, Shaped well sole 2-y-o start (subsequently gelded), but this season's performances have prompted questions regarding his temperament. Sported cheekpieces last time and connections now try blinkers.
7
6th (7) (25/1 -39%) Kelmscott
25
25/1(-39%)
(7) Kelmscott 25/1, Stepped up on low-key Newbury debut when third in 9-runner minor event at Lingfield (1m, AW) in November, finishing well. Gelded during the winter and should have more to offer as a 3-y-o.
4
7th (4) (33/1 -50%) Dual Identity
33
33/1(-50%)
(4) Dual Identity 33/1, Showed ability in 7f novice events at Salisbury and Kempton late last season. Ought to pick up a race before long, but one suspects that he'll be seen in a better light when tackling handicaps.
10
8th (10) (125/1 -89%) Romulan Prince
125
125/1(-89%)
(10) Romulan Prince 125/1, Little impact in a Doncaster maiden and Windsor novice (both at 1¼m) in recent weeks. Another who will probably come into his own when going down the handicap route.
6
9th (6) (40/1 -60%) Fleurman
40
40/1(-60%)
(6) Fleurman 40/1, Clear signs of ability on debut at Kempton (11f) in December, but he shaped like a stayer in the making that day (pedigree also points to stamina reserves), so this drop in trip is of dubious benefit.
1
10th (1) (250/1 -150%) Favoured Destiny
250
250/1(-150%)
(1) Favoured Destiny 250/1, 4,500 gns 3-y-o, Noble Mission filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 1¾m Sepal and 2-y-o 1m winner Clematis. Yard is hardly a frequent source of winning newcomers.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Epsom Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Group One Power 3.33/1, Successful in 1m AW events first 2 starts in 2020. Best effort after when fourth in King George V handicap at Royal Ascot and lightly-raced sort could have more to offer as a 4-y-o.
1
2nd (1) (1.75/1 +30%) Soto Sizzler
1.75
1.75/1(+30%)
(1) Soto Sizzler 1.75/1, 2-2 over C&D, winning this and a good handicap on Derby Day in 2019. Missed 2020 but shaped well on return for new yard at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Interesting.
3
3rd (3) (14/1 -65%) Galahad Threepwood
14
14/1(-65%)
(3) Galahad Threepwood 14/1, Improved when winning a couple of Lingfield (AW) handicaps over this trip at the start of the year. Good run at Chelmsford last time but must reproduce that form back on turf now.
2
4th (2) (25/1 -108%) Amazing Red
25
25/1(-108%)
(2) Amazing Red 25/1, Cashed in lowest mark for ages when making successful return in 11.8f Leicester handicap earlier this month, edging ahead final strides under this rider. First run here and wouldn't rule out up 4 lb.
4
5th (4) (1.75/1 +0%) Valyrian Steel
1.75
1.75/1(+0%)
(4) Valyrian Steel 1.75/1, €600,000 Frankel colt who won his first 2 starts last year over 10f before a respectable run in the mud in York handicap. Very much the type to improve further in 2021 and can go well if he stays.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(7) Patient Dream 3.33/1, Chased home the subsequent Acomb winner on debut at York and looked uncomplicated when scoring at Lingfield next time. Disappointing subsequently but gelded since last seen.
8
2nd (8) (8/1 -33%) Coul Kat
8
8/1(-33%)
(8) Coul Kat 8/1, Steadily progressive last term, displaying likeable attitude when scoring in the mud at Pontefract (1m, heavy) 6 months ago. Needs another step forward on return.
3
3rd (3) (3.33/1 +5%) Il Bandito
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(3) Il Bandito 3.33/1, Runner-up in a couple of novices before readily opening his account in a maiden at Newcastle in October. Form is solid, so could make an impression if he stays on return.
9
4th (9) (14/1 -17%) Dr T J Eckleburg
14
14/1(-17%)
(9) Dr T J Eckleburg 14/1, Lightly-raced gelding who wasn't disgraced when fourth at Redcar 15 days ago but needs further improvement if he's to defy this mark.
4
5th (4) (5/1 +38%) Dejame Paso
5
5/1(+38%)
(4) Dejame Paso 5/1, Improved by the run at 2 yrs and had a good bit in hand when off the mark at Lingfield 6 months ago. May do better still switched to handicaps.
2
6th (2) (5.5/1 +21%) Siam Fox
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(2) Siam Fox 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was underwhelming in a nursery at Wolverhampton when last seen 180 days ago. Gelded since and bred to do better, so not a forlorn hope on return.
6
7th (6) (14/1 -100%) Never Say When
14
14/1(-100%)
(6) Never Say When 14/1, Made winning debut over 6f at Kempton in June. Only 6 lengths fourth at Salisbury next time and nursery debut back at first-named track 7 months ago was disappointing. Should make a better 3-y-o.
5
8th (5) (8/1 +20%) Trevolli
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Trevolli 8/1, Fair form to this point and shaped well despite seeming unsuited by the drop in trip when second at Kempton last time. Could go well back up to a more suitable test on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

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.
