Epsom
1.35 The consistent Fennell Bay and Wrotham Heath who appeared not to stay when beaten last time look the pair to concentrate on. I would give a slight edge to Wrotham Heath.
2.40 There may be more to come from Beaten Up. J Murtagh who rides Epsom better than most has the ride.
3.15 Long Awaited and Captain Dunne arte well drawn and both look on handicaps marks they could win from. The other one I like is York Glory whom was progressive last season but ran poorly on his last start when running without blinkers. The blinkers are back on tomorrow. Desert Law is another to consider. The fast ground should be right up his street but he may find this dash a bit too sharp. Four year olds have a poor record in this race so from my quartet of hopefuls I will choose the two older horses, Captain Dunne and Long Awaited.
4.00 Camelot may well win but at the odds I just feel that Bonfire is better value.
5.25 Swilly Ferry – a small each way.
Haydock
2.10 The progressive Lord of the House may well relish this 2 mile trip.
3.40 I thought about Roger Sez and Es Que Love for this but I am not sure that either will find the ground ideal.
4.40 Mince has not been out of the first 4 in his last 5 starts and acts on any ground. He would be my first chance with Intense Pink, a recent winner at Pontefract on soft ground the next best.
5.15 O’Gorman has been disappointing on his last couple of starts but is well handicapped if rediscovering his best form.
Musselburgh
2.25 Beverley winner Party Line looks capable of further improvement. At a bigger price Aleksandar should not be written off despite a below par effort at Wolverhampton.
2.55 Racy is consistent but is on a long losing run. He has an each way shout.
3.30 My each way selection is Silver Blaze, second here last month and running over a longer trip which could well suit.
