14:48 Betfred 'Nifty 50' Nursery Handicap Stakes
Did not winClass 5 · 0m7f3y · Good To Firm · 5 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Greek Symphony (10/3)
Won by: Bincimbal (IRE) at 12/1 · then Wise And Wonderful (GB)
What we said: Already opened her account at this course and trip (dist form reads 1-3) and carries the best figures in the field with PR82/SR76, well clear of anything else here. Her form line of 3-2-1-3 shows a filly holding her form every single start, and she quickens away as well as anything in this small field, which should suit on this sharp Epsom trip.
15:23 Betfred 'Bet Builder' EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Did not winClass 3 · 0m7f3y · Good To Firm · 5 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Tiora Time (10/11)
Won by: Tansy Lane (GB) at 8/13F
What we said: Consistently placed form figures of 3-1-2 mark her out as the most battle-hardened filly in this small field, and a rare quick round-again just a day after finishing runner-up suggests the yard has her fighting fit rather than needing the run. Tom Clover's stable is firing at a healthy clip and the good-to-firm ground plays to the family strength through her Showcasing damsire line.
16:00 Betfred 'The Classic Bookmaker' Handicap Stakes
We named the winnerClass 4 · 0m6f3y · Good To Firm · 8 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Modern Times (5/2)
Won by: Modern Times (GB) at 9/4 · then Sir Garfield (IRE), Ruby's Profit (IRE)
What we said: He's won his last start over this same 6f trip and the switch from standard to today's fast good-to-firm ground plays right into his sire Too Darn Hot's profile as a fast-ground performer. The form line 535631 shows a horse on the up, and a favourable draw in three keeps him away from the disadvantaged wide stalls today.
16:38 Betfred 'Play Fred's £5 Million' Handicap Stakes
PlacedClass 6 · 1m2f17y · Good To Firm · 11 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Offiah's Boy (11/4)
Won by: Private Project (IRE) at 22/1 · then Mrembo (GB), Offiah's Boy (GB)
What we said: Won last time out at 9f on this going and the form figures read 005621, a clear upward trajectory into this race off just a 10-day break. The extra furlong is unproven but the damsire Invincible Spirit line is flagged for excelling on this quick going, and his habitual early pace (2.15) should keep him out of trouble on a track where getting buried or carried wide costs races.
17:13 Betfred 'Double Delight' Handicap Stakes
Did not winClass 4 · 1m0f113y · Good To Firm · 4 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Trio (13/8)
Won by: Loblolly (IRE) at 5/1
What we said: Trio beat today's market rival Chantelle last time out over this exact course, trip and going, and her form line 335711 shows two straight wins with the trip and ground both proven. Course record backs it up too, with a win at Epsom last time and a strong yard record here, so the conditions all point her way again.

We passed. Likely winner: Ice Cube (5/2)
Won by: Play Me (GB) at 14/1 · then Red Mirage (IRE), Spacewoman (GB)
What we said: self-consistency reruns didn't converge on the original pick
