Epsom — 31 August 2026

Class 5 · 0m6f3y · Good To Soft · 7 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Em Four (7/2)

Won by: Proof (GB) at 10/1 · then Harry's Halo (IRE)

What we said: Em Four, Twirler and Logi Bear all arrive with credible cases — Em Four the best-rated horse in the race with a recent win and the pace to lead, Twirler working off a stronger overall profile despite a flat last run, Logi Bear fresh off a win and stepping up with first-time cheekpieces — and none of them separates cleanly enough from the others at the prices on offer.

Class 3 · 0m7f3y · Good To Soft · 8 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Summer Triangle (13/8)

Won by: Summer Triangle (GB) at 11/8F · then Artemis Star (GB), Angel Of Desire (GB)

What we said: Summer Triangle looks the swiftest through this field on her placed 022 form and prior experience at this course and trip, but at 13/8 she's already priced up to roughly what that form is worth, leaving no real cushion for a maiden with only one previous run over C&D; Artemis Star and Taranis both sit fairly close to their own fair prices too, so nothing here clears the bar with money-down conviction.

Class 3 · 0m7f3y · Good To Soft · 8 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Rhoscolyn (11/4)

Won by: Aurora Majesty (IRE) at 7/2 · then Rhoscolyn (GB), Naval Light (GB)

What we said: Four runners have live claims at sensible prices — Rhoscolyn heads the market from a low draw but arrives on a quick 2-day turnaround off a string of modest efforts, Naval Light has two recent wins sandwiched around a blip and matches the best PR figure in the race, while Aurora Majesty and Kisskodi both have solid recent placed form at this trip — nothing separates them enough to lean on one at its price.

Class 4 · 1m4f6y · Good To Soft · 14 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Divine Knight (5/2)

Won by: Seeking Charles (FR) at 12/1 · then Crooked Path (IRE), Edward Sexton (IRE)

What we said: Too many live claims to isolate one: Divine Knight sits on top of the market off a fair scoring run last time but has only a single run at this trip and this going, Edward Sexton arrives fresh from a course-and-distance-style win but is actually dropping back two furlongs off that 14f success, Gordon Grey brings strong course form (10110) and quick early pace but carries the flagged 0-4 fresh-off-a-break caution, and Crooked Path is fast-improving for James Owen after an impressive last-time win — four genuine paths to the frame with nothing at the price that clears the bar.

Class 4 · 1m2f17y · Good To Soft · 10 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Almekarem (7/2)

Won by: Hello Cotai (IRE) at 14/1 · then Almekarem (IRE), Hengest (GB)

What we said: the write-up made a claim the racecard does not support, so this pick was withheld

Class 5 · 1m0f113y · Good To Soft · 8 ran

We passed. Likely winner: Eduardo Calderon (2/1)

Won by: Tronido (GB) at 12/1 · then Eduardo Calderon (IRE), Oj Lifestyle (IRE)

What we said: Eduardo Calderon is clearly the class act here on his 7-2443 form and trainer Eustace's in-form yard, but at 2/1 the market is already asking full odds for that edge and nothing else in this competitive eight — not H Key Lails under top-weight with a poor course record, not Tronido or Super Hit stepping into unproven good-to-soft ground — offers a price worth crossing.

Class 4 · 0m7f3y · Good To Soft · 6 ran

Our bet: French Affair (11/8)

Won by: Dapper Guest (IRE) at 9/2 · then Silver Trumpet (GB)

What we said: Two course-and-distance-adjacent wins on the bounce (424611) with the highest rating in the field by six pounds, and the step up in trip looks a natural progression given his spread of distances raced. He's clearly the classiest horse here on official figures and arrives with genuine momentum rather than a stale market position.
