Dave Nevison's top horse racing tips for Epsom on Tuesday

Last Updated: Wed 7 Jun 2023

Epsom will be hoping there is another Cracksman lurking among the eight entries for the Cazoo Blue Riband Trial (2.20) on Tuesday.

That seems unlikely but the 10f contest is an interesting race featuring runners from the yards of Appleby, Gosden, Balding and O’Brien. It will be well worth a watch on Racing TV.

1.50 Epsom: Electric Love

There are several old timers in this field of sprinters, most of whom know this unique Epsom 5f very well, but preference is for the lightly raced improver here in the shape of Electric Love.

She was most consistent in her only season to date and, after a promising debut second, she won successive handicaps at Yarmouth and then finished off with three decent handicap efforts.

She ran a good second on the turf track at Lingfield, which is about as close to Epsom as possible, so I don’t anticipate this course proving an issue for her. She will no doubt be slower out of the stalls than some in a race that will be run at a fierce pace. Hopefully, the gaps will open up for Electric Love late on.

2.55 Epsom: Achelois

This filly will likely be looking for black type this season and ran well in a Listed race on her final start last season.

She progressed well over last summer and won three handicaps, stepping up in distance for each one. Ten furlongs on fast ground looks her optimum and the race should be run to suit with this race containing several front runners in the line-up. Andrew Balding’s runners are going very well this spring.

3.30 Epsom: Kings Prince

Hollie Doyle rode this very lightly raced type for the first time at Leicester this month and very narrowly failed to win after battling throughout the last couple of furlongs.

Kings Prince didn’t go on as hoped last term and evidently had issues, but he could well make up into an Ascot or Goodwood horse for the Johnstons this term.

He has gone back up 3lb for that fine reappearance effort but if he is back on track it won’t be his mark that stops him. Hopefully, he can progress and land this traditional early season feature.
