RiddenPINATUBO by Owned by Trained by Charlie Appleby

E P S O M R A C E S U M M A R Y Charlie Appleby saddled to win this race 12 months ago and although Modern News isn't that calibre, he can better his effort in the Chesham dropped in both trip and class. Lingfield scorer Mutazawwed could well get his own way out in front and will be dangerous if so, but TWAASOL looks the one to beat for Owen Burrows and Martin Harley. There a lot to like about his debut success at Windsor and he looks a Group performer in the making. WIN: TWAASOL DANGER: MODERN NEWS

E P S O M R A C E S U M M A R Y SAFE VOYAGE lost little in defeat when going down by a neck to the 2019 winner of this, Space Blues, at Haydock on his reappearance and that should set him up nicely for a tilt at this prize. John Quinn's consistent seven-year-old is a specialist at this distance and any rain would strengthen his case. Oh This Is Us has placed in the Group 3 (that is normally on this card) in both 2017 and 2019 and is respected, while Shine So Bright can leave his disappointment in the past back up at 7f.

Love was a very impressive winner of the 1000 Guineas last month and she has to be given the utmost respect once again. That said, the form was slightly let down by the placed horses at Royal Ascot and, while she is a likely stayer, she does have to prove herself over this trip. With that in mind, preference is for FRANKLY DARLING, who won the Ribblesdale impressively a couple of weeks ago. She will have to settle better than she did in the early stages of that contest, but she is still lightly raced and may have more to offer. Ennistymon has a similar profile to the selection, although she was beaten by Frankly Darling at Ascot, and it would be no surprise to see her in the mix at the finish. WIN: FRANKLY DARLING DANGER: LOVE

E P S O M R A C E S U M M A R Y Kameko is the one to beat on the back of his 2000 Guineas victory last month and if he sees out the trip then he should take plenty of stopping. That said, the extra half a mile today is a big concern and his pedigree does not offer much encouragement. With that in mind, the vote goes to ENGLISH KING, who barely had to come off the bridle to win the Derby Trial at Lingfield last month. The second from that contest only found subsequent winner Santiago too good in the Queen's Vase and this lightly-raced son of Camelot remains open to improvement. Mogul was disappointing in the King Edward VII but it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward today, just like his full-brother Japan did when narrowly beaten in this race last year. Russian Emperor and Vatican City are others with valid form claims. WIN: DANGER: ENGLISH KING KAMEKO

LONGEST TRAVELLER: MUNTADAB trained by Roger Fell, Nawton, 266 miles. LAST YEAR’S WINNER

RiddenCORAZON by Tom Marquand Owned by Robert Moss Trained by Simon Dow

E P S O M R A C E S U M M A R Y Corazon Espinado took this from Hateya (second) and Alemaratalyoum (fourth) in a bunched finish 12 months ago and it would be no surprise to see all three finish thereabouts again following some useful appearances since the restart. However, preference is for MUNTADAB, who was denied by just a nose at Musselburgh earlier this week. Roger Fell has

his string in good order at present and this 7f specialist can take advantage of his very lenient mark. Tintoretto appears the pick of Tom Ward's pair and the hat-trick seeker is another to note in the hands of Oisin Murphy.

WIN: MUNTADAB DANGER: CORAZON ESPINADO SIXTH

PRESENTATION The Jockey Club is kindly awarding £100 to the racing groom responsible for the best turned out horse in this race, a trophy to the winning Owner, Trainer and Jockey, and a memento to the winning racing groom.
