25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (6f, good) 12 days ago, no extra final 1f. Booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye but others appeal more returned to 7f.

15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 29 days ago. Changed hands for 10,000 gns subsequently and tongue strap now added to the cheekpieces. Up in trip.

Outstrip filly who offered minor promise on second 3 starts in novice/maiden company during second half of last year. Will hold more chance now handicapping on return from 8 months off/for new yard and worth noting if the market speaks in her favour.

Blinkered for 1st time, shaped better than previously this year when third of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Can get competitive again if headgear has desired effect once more.

Maiden who has had plenty of chances in handicaps and having run well when fourth at Salisbury (6f) 2 starts back, she failed to match that when last of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive.

18/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) 41 days ago, no extra late on having set a strong gallop. Visor on 1st time and he could be worth siding with kept to this trip/returned to class 6 company.

Maiden who was well backed and ran creditably from her easing mark when second of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Not out of things.

Much improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Brighton (7f) in June and backed up that effort when runner-up from 4 lb higher mark back at that venue 16 days ago. Remains less exposed than most here and he's one to consider.

Posted best effort yet in handicaps when third at Salisbury (7f) on penultimate start in June but not in same form when last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, fared no better than previously after 7 months off when last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Yard look to hold stronger claims with Nelson Rose.

20:40 Epsom Downs - 18 July 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

It could be worth taking a chance on BATED BREEZE who did well under the circumstances having set a strong gallop on his first crack at this trip when fourth at Goodwood 6 weeks ago. The application of a first-time visor could put an extra edge on him operating from this career-low mark. Havana Mojito has been in good form at Brighton and is less exposed than most so he's a threat. Too Much Trevor and Nelson Rose can also feature in the finale.
