    I think there is a very good each way bet in the 3.20.

    Epsom
    3.20 Karem Albari 20-1 EW

    This horse was once thought to be well above handicap company, it did not work out as planned and was out for a long while injured. They have persevered with him however and I think they expect it to have been worth the wait. The horse had a pipe opener last month at Yarmouth and today is the day that they will see if it were worth the wait or not. This horse could be a blot on the handicap if back to what they once thought. At 20-1 an eachway bet looks good.

    Well done on Thistle Bird Wooly, I deliberated for ages on Thistle bird and sentrail only to plump for the also ran.

    Just looked at your comp picks Wooly, looks like only horses we disagree on today are Levitate/Here Comes When and Brae Hill/Hasopop!

    16:00 Epsom - Secret Gesture

    (She's done everything required of her. Do not agree that it was 'trees' she beat at Lingfield; rubbish).

    Not often I tip anything up, especially on the Flat, but I'll make an exception for the fillies Classic.

    Moth (7/2) is a horse who ran a really eye catching race in the 1000 Guineas, with the clear view that a step up in trip should suit her considerably. Encouragingly the form of that race was franked in no uncertain terms by the very impressive Just the Judge last weekend. I suspect Moth will have far too much tactical pace for the favourite (she looks like one who could have done with a lot more rain) and my only concern will be whether she deals with the rollercoaster track that is Epsom Downs. If she handles it I'd be pretty keen she'll win this Classic with something to spare. I hardly ever wager on the Flat but I have today.

    Good luck

    The money has come for Ben Cee Pee M. Biggest i've seen it is 12/1. Now generally between 11/2 and 7/1.

    I fancy Banofee to win the oaks, thought her trial win was impressive on only her 2nd start. :biggrin:

    Bob, unlucky, but when I heard the commentator say 'here is Church Field coming full of running for the Champ' I had to double check your selection... <laugh>

    Come on Moth.

    Ha

    LOL

    <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    They'll need to find a rubbish race on a Monday for it to win I think. Hopefully it might drop a pound or two.

    Moth as well for me but small stakes. No confidence about anything but i can't see Moth out the three so 7/2 seemed a decent enough price.
