Oh dear. Epsom whitewash. Most of my picks yesterday ran from the front and got massively picked off, so need to switch tactics although the ground is better today so it might be foolish to do so!

Epsom 1.35 – Has to overcome top weight but hope Space Ship 6/1 can

Musselburgh 2.20 – Justice Day 13/8 all day long

Epsom 2.40 – As much of a Dunaden fan as I am I can’t see SNA being beat. I never get it right with him and not worth it at 2/5

Doncaster 3.10 –Baltic Knight 7/1 has solid form and Willy will take off a valuable claim.

Epsom 3.15 – This is going to be one fast arse race with so many front runners. It has to be set up for a hold up horse. Swiss Cross has an amateur jockey onboard and I’m not sure this is the right thing to do, but at 50/1 on betfair it’s worth a bet. That Hamza race is strong but moreover the race where he flew home over C&D after a bad start. The two I have to be on the nose on are Captain Dunne 8/1 and Long Awaited 8/1. Both C&D winners. The former is on a really good mark. Both drawn high which seems to be favoured over the years.

Doncaster 3.45 – Poetic Dancer 12/1 will be fitter this time round and can reverse the placings with Mezzotoint but Born To Surprise 9/1 could go really close. Hard handicap.

Epsom 4.00 – If Dawn Approach get beaten it’ll be the distance. I’ve already backed Chopin and Mars Antepost and don’t really intend on betting on anything else. Will just watch and enjoy.

Doncaster 4.45 – Elkaayed 7/4 was an easy winner for me last time out. Harder race, but still holds that Telescope form which better than most, but it will be tactical and anything could happen

Epsom 4.50 – First Avenue 16/1 runs well here and on a decent mark. Sirvino is tempting as well but not sure on the price.

Epsom 5.25 – Baby Strange is on a low mark and was placed well enough last year. 33/1 may underestimate him as well as 33/1 about Another Try. On form Crew Cut 8/1 can continue to frank the Yeeoow form.

Lingfield 5.55 – All form points to Blhadawa 4/7

10.45am update... I’ve just checked Pricewise and we’ve agreed on two in the big handicap!!

Epsom 1.45 – St Paul De Vence 14/1

Epsom 3.15 – Captain Dunne 9/1, Swiss Cross 28/1

Epsom 4.00 – Galileo’s Rock 40/1
