Epsom Racing tips for Thursday
Racing returns to Epsom on Thursday, with six races on the card for what is expected to be an exciting evening of racing.
Timed perfectly to pick up punters following the day’s racing at Glorious Goodwood, the action begins at 6pm, with the final race taking place at 8:35pm. The going on the Downs is good to firm, but with another day where the temperatures are set to top 30 degrees, the ground could be firm by the time racing gets underway.
Read below to find out the latest horse racing odds and tips from Thursday’s Epsom card.
18:00 – Peter Bromwich Apprentice Handicap
The opener is a 1m2f handicap, with four-year-olds and above contesting this Class 5 contest. Having finished second over a shorter trip at Epsom earlier this month, Chips And Rice will run off an unchanged mark and could push the fancied Big Bear Hug.
18:30 – Pick And Place Your Stakes Challenge EBF Restricted Novice Stakes
Next up, a race for Novice two-year-olds, with a 7f trip to negotiate in this Class 4 contest. Parole D’Oro’s second placed start at Ascot makes for an appealing option, however, debutant Noble Phoenix is an exciting newcomer and could upset the odds.
19:00 – Outdoor Advertising Is The Best British EBF Fillies’ Handicap
Another Class 4 race is up next, with a 1m1/2f trip for a top prize of £7,731 on offer for the winner. Dreamrocker is the favourite, with a career-best win at Ascot 20 days ago representing excellent form and this should be enough to push through a 4lb rise in weights.
19:30 – Iron Maiden Red Wine Handicap
Up next, a Class 6 handicap for three-year-olds which will be run at just over seven furlongs. Having finished a strong fourth at Doncaster 21 days ago, Moakadd for Roger Varian is the likely frontrunner, down 1lb.
20:05 – Miles Commercial Handicap
The penultimate race of the card is a Class 5 contest, run over 1m4f and open to 4yo+ horses. Having shown a marked improvement in form so far this year, Rogue Tornado is expected to continue this good form as the front-runner in this race.
20:35 – Trooper ‘Time People Please!’ Handicap
Finally, this 6f handicap sees just five expected runners for what is a close Class 5 contest to call. With a first time visor fitted and good form this season, Macanudo will be expected to perform well especially when considering a drop back in grade for this race.
