Paddy’s final Epsom Oaks day Cheat Sheet

Karl Burke’s Teej A gained nicely at Chester final time over this 6f journey and appeals to me at an each-way worth.

New Constitution can go one higher than her debut second to Mountain Breeze at Newmarket slightly below a fortnight in the past and may deal with Epsom’s infamous undulations which don’t go well with everybody.

Megalithic was anticipated to win on his racecourse debut at Salisbury over the minimal 5f journey. The step up in journey to 6f ought to see him extra in his consolation zone on his second run.

TEEJ A impressed me at Chester and will need to have no less than an each-way likelihood for Karl Burke and Clifford Lee.

New Constitution formed nicely when chasing residence  Mountain Breeze at Newmarket and her steady that has a very good file on this contest. Finish of Story had three subsequent winners behind him when touchdown a Thirsk maiden so charges the primary menace.

Finns Attraction ran on nicely on his seasonal reappearance at Chester earlier this month. A mark of 95 is greater than workable. That is his second run since having a wind op so he can present extra enchancment.

Epsom handicap common Orbaan appears to be like a little bit of worth with Silvestre De Sousa booked to trip. He’s completed positioned within the final two editions of this contest and races off the same mark of 85 this time.

Improbable Fox (each-way) hit the road strongly at Ascot final time and and the step up in journey to 1m 1/2f will go well with. He appears to be like booked to hit the locations no less than.

FINN’S CHARM has been excessive within the handicap for a lot of his life however he has a win at Musselburgh off 3lb decrease than this in related circumstances. An each-way play for the Johnstons and Joe Fanning.

Stablemates Bopedro and Blue For You completed third and fourth respectively. The latter has Jamie Spencer within the hot-seat however Bopedro is taken to uphold that kind and emerge on high.

I can see Time Lock bolting out and pushing Luxembourg on. Final yr’s winner Emily Upjohn, Feed The Flame and Hamish will like that as they’re hold-up horses. Emily Upjohn can strike once more.

The Coronation Cup is the primary Group 1 contest of the 2 days and Emily Upjohn units the usual. She gained this contest final yr on good to agency floor however the slower floor shouldn’t be in opposition to her now.

Emily Upjohn goes to be favorite however she’s not one million miles clear on official rankings. In what may show a tactical occasion, the French raider Feed The Flame could take benefit.

EMILY UPJOHN is the one horse on this line-up with a flip of pace and if she’s at anyplace close to her finest I hope Kieran Shoemark will pull her out and cost down the center of the observe.

Emily Upjohn created an enormous impression when touchdown this final yr and he or she appeared nearly as good as ever when a never-nearer (met hassle) fifth within the Sheema Traditional earlier this yr. She’s an easy option to defend her crown.

A tough handicap the place each of mine are tentative picks. Derry Lad impressed at Naas however has struggled to kick on earlier than. Liberty Lane may defy a penalty and win once more after his Newmarket victory earlier this month.

A 10f handicap the place Liberty Lane can proceed his ascension via the ranks after a clean success at Newmarket final time. Smooth floor and a take a look at of stamina ought to assist now.

The reserving of Silvestre De Sousa is a optimistic for Candy Reward (each-way) who has some first rate kind at this venue.

LIBERTY LANE was second to Royal Ascot winner Waipiro over this journey as a novice so I’ve no worries a couple of step up in distance for the current spectacular Newmarket winner who needs floor that’s good or softer.

I Nonetheless Have Religion loved a completely productive 2023 marketing campaign, and together with his reappearance second at Nottingham  – the winner that day has gone in once more since – he appears to be like positive to go shut now.

I’m discovering it onerous to oppose Ylang Ylang. She’s screamed ‘Oaks horse’ to me after ending fifth within the 1,000 Guineas earlier this month. Secret Satire may very well be over-priced as an each-way play.

Ylang Ylang  is an excellent filly who obtained outpaced over 1m within the 1,000 Guineas on seasonal debut however must be sharper now for this 1m 4f take a look at of the Epsom Oaks. She doesn’t want to enhance an excessive amount of in her kind, she simply must deal with the observe. Ezeliya may very well be one for each-way backers.

Ylang Ylang put up an amazing efficiency within the 1,000 Guineas over a mile at HQ the place she completed fifth on seasonal debut. She by no means actually travelled nicely within the race although and this 1m4 journey ought to assist her settle into a greater rhythm.

I’m assured YLANG YLANG might be too good fo this subject for Ryan Moore and Aidan O’Brien. She was the most effective of those as a juvenile and he or she ought to show onerous to cease.

Ylang Ylang appeared prepared for additional when a promising fifth within the 1000 Guineas and may present her yard with a seventh Oaks win since 2015. Forest Fairy appears to be like the decide of Ralph Beckett’s quartet.
