1:00 Epsom Downs Tips

Royal Dress was extremely unlucky in this race last year when finishing a close 3rd as she was continually denied a clear run to challenge for over a furlong from over 2f out and would probably have won otherwise. She ran respectably in a Group 2 first time out and should go close again.

Bermuda Longtail is a 3yo filly trained by Andrew Balding and made a favourable impression in a listed race on her last start behind Kon Tiki, who is very progressive, winning a third race in a row. Andrew Balding and jockey Oisin Murphy combined are 414 winners from 2210, so they are a formidable combination. Bermuda Longtail, being so unexposed, should have the ability to progress.

A real on-pace leader type, which was what you needed to be yesterday, and brings some strong Irish form to the table here.

If there was one thing yesterday showed, it was the importance of being up with the pace. Sirona likes to be prominent, and the added bonus of an on-fire Ryan Moore makes this one the selection here.

SPIRITUAL represents a leading yard who show stats of 8/28 { 29% } with runners sents to this venue always respected and a high drw over this trip on the predicted soft ground could be the best place to start from. Value player.

This selection's best effort to date was a 5th place finish over the distance of 8 furlongs in a Group 3. Racing around 8.5 furlongs in today's contest, hopeful the ground will suit. Clifford Lee is in the saddle. Hopeful can go close.

With conditions likely to change tomorrow to no good ground, now turning soft. With regular winning jockey in the saddle, win bet.

Royal Dress and Chic Colombine reoppose after last year's unfortunate coming together, which could have given a different outcome. Chic Colombine has arguably had excuses since that day and has recently undergone a breathing procedure. Last time at Goodwood was a write-off, having stumbled out of the stalls. The trainer fits cheekpieces today, and if that sharpens her up out of the gates, she should run better than her odds suggest.

Take an EW chance on 4yo filly Sunfall here. She has won her last race a listed event at Royal Ascot beating 12 rivals. Changed to new trainer David O'Meara since and definitely is open for further improvement. Jockey Daniel Tudhope in good form, should be in the mix.
