Got the better of Somehow in Group 3 company when last seen in March and that rival has advertised the form well since. Any rain seemingly in her favour and not dismissed despite having a bit to do on official ratings.

Unplaced on both her starts at the Meydan Carnival but fair form at pattern level in Italy and France prior to that. Well beaten in Group 2 on GB debut though and hard to fancy off the back of that run.

Beat a very smart field at Kempton in a Listed race two starts back and not beaten far at Lingfield last time. Yet to score on turf and probably wouldn't want to see a lot of rain so she looks a little vulnerable.

C&D winner last year but been struggling in Listed company in each of her last three starts and this looks tougher. Trainer's hit form in recent weeks so she's not dismissed and he does well with his runners around here.

Shaped like a return to form may be imminent at Ascot last time and she won this race last year. Not won since but should get similar conditions again this time around and she has the assistance of the Champion Jockey in the saddle. Leading claims despite the wide draw.

4/5
Easy winner of a Listed contest at Goodwood last time out but did get the run of the race to some extent on the front end. May not be quite as effective with more cut in the ground but just about sets the standard on form for the rest to aim at.

Two-time French winner seen to best effect with plenty of cut in the ground. Level of form looks a little below what's required to take this race but will be suited by conditions if the rain arrives at least.

Won a Group 3 at Goodwood last year but has been a little disappointing on all three starts since and looked well out of her depth in the 1,000 Guineas last time. This looks more her level but best efforts have come on good to firm.

Completed a hat-trick at Kempton in February and bounced back from a disappointing run at Lingfield with a smart win at Ascot last time when 2lb out of the handicap. Top-class jockey who rides this course well takes over from a 7lb claimer and likely to be more to come throughout this season. Should go well.

Finished a distant third behind Rhododendron and Hydrangea in Group 1 towards the end of last year and went well on reappearance at Newbury in April. A little disappointing in the Guineas behind Winter last time and her trainer's form has to be a concern.

14:35 Epsom Downs - 3 June 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

EPSOM ICON won last year's renewal of this contest and she shaped like her turn may be near again last time at Ascot. Laugh Aloud should go well for yesterday's Oaks winning trainer if she handles the softer ground and the form of Czabo's win last time has recieved several boosts since that effort at the start of the season.
