One key runner for each of ITV’s races at Epsom on Saturday
1.50 Epsom
Woodcote EBF Stakes, 6f
Charlie Appleby won the Woodcote last year with champion two-year-old Pinatubo. He is represented this time by Chesham fifth Modern News, the mount of William Buick.
Safe Voyage
2.25 Epsom
Surrey Stakes, 7f
John Quinn does well when he sends runners on the long journey from Yorkshire to Epsom. Safe Voyage, runner-up to Space Blues at Haydock last month, holds rock-solid credentials.
Desert Icon
3.00 Epsom
Investec Handicap, 1m2f
Desert Icon bolted up by nearly nine lengths at Newmarket last Sunday. It’s a tougher handicap this time, but he’s clearly well treated under a 6lb penalty.
Frankly Darling
3.40 Epsom
Investec Oaks, 1m4f
Frankly Darling looked something special when taking the step up in class in her stride in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot. She looks ready to sparkle on racing’s biggest stage.
Fooraat
4.15 Epsom
Princess Elizabeth Stakes, 1m½f
Fooraat rapidly put seven lengths between herself and her rivals at Chelmsford last time. She bids to make it three wins from three starts, and looks just the type to improve further.
Kameko
4.55 Epsom
Investec Derby, 1m4f
Kameko, the 2,000 Guineas winner, looks far superior to his rivals in terms of natural ability. It’s all about whether he stays. If this race was over 1m2f he’d be the 6-4 favourite. The Derby revolves around him.
