(3) Fox Flame 25/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 28/1) 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop.
Best efforts have come on AW; may come good on turf but others look safer.
LTO Selection:

17:55 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

A tight little handicap with plenty of potential improvers in the line-up. Denis Anthony is the obvious starting point having been well backed and travelling much the best en route to victory at Ffos Las and, only up 4lb, he is a player once more. Dovena has more to come over staying trips and there is a strong suspicion these quirky tracks suit her. However, it may be best left to ALHAMBRA PALACE, who really should have won on his handicap debut at Leicester. He steps up in trip, with Adam Farragher taking off a handy 3lb.

ALHAMBRA PALACE went close on handicap bow at Leicester 2 weeks ago, shaping as if this longer trip will suit, so gets the vote off a similar mark. Last-time-out winners Denis Anthony and Dovena head the dangers.

Alhambra Palace can progress again over this trip but DENIS ANTHONY (nap) showed plenty of pluck at Ffos Las and he can follow up.

Finished about 8l behind Alnoory and Tokyo Dreamer in Lingfield contest.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Quick Away was sent off favourite for her debut at Chester, but she missed the break and ran green throughout so better can be expected. Tokyo Dreamer sets the standard and is sure to go well but may be vulnerable to an improver. One who fits the bill is ALNOORY, who shaped with real promise on her introduction at Lingfield, only getting run out of things close home. The daughter of Oasis Dream can take a step forward and get off the mark at the second attempt.

ALNOORY only just failed on debut at Lingfield 24 days ago and is taken to go one place better with improvement forthcoming. Tokyo Dreamer is getting better with each run and is feared most.

The rematch between ALNOORY and Tokyo Dreamer is a tricky one to call. Preference for Alnoory is fairly tentative.

(5) Magical Merlin 2/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June. Fourth of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Remains one to be interested in.
Won modest event at Lingfield last month but held in Class 4 latest; now tried in blinkers.

Two wins in the spring; no impact the last twice; return to more positive tactics may help.

8lb lower than for March's AW win; struggled since; effective over C&D but risks involved.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Epsom Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

There should be plenty of speed on here and it may set up well for the closers. Magical Merlin needs to leave a slightly below-par effort at Windsor behind, but has blinkers on for the first time and looks a player. Grenham Bay was disappointing at Kempton, but this race may well work out better for him and he's much respected. Slight preference is for JUSTCALLMEPETE, who never seems to run a bad race and should love the pace he's going to get to aim at. He can claim his first win on turf.

TOUSSAROK left the impression he'd strip fitter for the run back from a short break at Chester last time and he's shown his effectiveness at this track in the past, so he's worth a chance to defy a handy mark at the likely expense of the in-form Justcallmepete. Magical Merlin is another to consider.

Justcallmepete is a big player with the blinkers back on but TOUSSAROK is well treated now and can win this race for a second time.

2 wins this summer; ran OK in last week's hat-trick bid; considered in race lacking depth.
LTO Selection:

19:35 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a drop in class for REDREDROBIN, who looked outpaced over 5f at Salisbury last month. She made every post a winning one over 6f there on her penultimate outing and a reproduction of that effort can see her firmly in the picture. Marsh Benham was denied a hat-trick when stepped up to a mile at Sandown and is feared most down in trip, while Dulcet Spirit is another to bear in mind.

REDREDROBIN has already won three times in 2023 and, having found things happening too quickly over the minimum distance at Salisbury last time, she's fancied to get her head back in front returned to a more suitable trip. Marsh Benham arrives in form and looks a danger, while Dulcet Spirit can't be dismissed.

5f looked too sharp for REDREDROBIN last time but she can resume her progress back up in trip. Marsh Benham is feared most.

Ran well on 2nd start; yet to shine this year, blowing start on h'cap debut latest; gelded.
LTO Selection:

20:10 Epsom Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Nonsuch Lad has been fairly consistent this term and finished a creditable third over 1m2f at this track last week. He has been left on the same mark but could want further so the vote is given to BEAU VINTAGE. Only narrowly denied over a similar trip at Wolverhampton, the fact that Adam Farragher negates all of the gelding's 2lb rise with his 3lb claim must make him of significant interest on his turf debut. Bobby Dassler seeks to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces and completes the shortlist.

Having got off the mark on the AW on his penultimate start, BUY THE DIP shaped well from a poor track position at Newmarket 3 weeks ago so he needs treating as though still at the top of his game. Fellow 3-y-os Beau Vintage and Desfondado head the opposition.

Desfondado and Star Of Sussex can still do better but BOBBY DASSLER could take some catching if anywhere near his best.

LTO Selection:

20:40 Epsom Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

FEYHA took a step forward when third at Brighton and can go a couple of places better off 1lb lower. She does lose Harry Davies' 3lb claim, though, so Strictly Dreaming can give her plenty to think about following a creditable second at Redcar. The unexposed Storm Valley makes her handicap debut and warrants a market check off a break, along with Paradise Row, who ran in the void race at Wolverhampton on Tuesday.

KITARO KICH would have finished closer with a clear run when fourth at Lingfield a month ago and on that evidence, he's capable of winning a race of this nature. Paradise Row and Obama Army are a couple of viable threats.

Storm Valley looks a likely improver now handicapping but KITARO KICH has shown enough to think a similar race could fall his way.

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.
