York Place 6 Preview | 12th June
13.50 Andy Thornton Hospitality Furniture Apprentice Handicap JANNA’S JOURNEY is back down to her last winning mark and finished an unlucky sixth of 17 in a much stronger race here in October. She’s 8lb lower in the handicap now, so I fancy her to run a big race having caught the eye at Carlisle last time out.

Newbury Place 6 Preview | 11th June
14.20 KBIS British Equestrian Insurance EBF Novice Stakes It’s difficult to pinpoint the winner. However, CAVALIER and CLOUD SUMMIT represent powerful connections that do very well with two-year-old’s, so it would come as no surprise to see either of them make a serious impact in the opener.

Fontwell Place 6 Preview | 10th June
14.30 Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle The opener could go the way of VISCOUNTESS NELSON, who shaped promisingly when second on hurdles debut before easily going one better when last seen at Perth.

Southwell Place 6 Preview | 9th June
14.30 Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Handicap Chase FRIENDS DON’T ASK has placed on all three starts this term and was unfortunate to be mugged right on the line last time out. The assessor is allowing him to compete off the same mask, so compensation could well be on the cards.

Carlisle Place 6 Preview | 8th June
14.15 Racing TV Apprentice Handicap HARRY’S HALO failed to show his true colours in three starts last year but ran a really good race when third on his return at Doncaster and a repeat showing should see him bang in contention.

Perth Place 6 Preview | 7th June
14.07 Scone Palace Jousting Tournament Novices’ Hurdle KIBRIS could be the answer to the opener. He was useful on the Flat and opened his account in this sphere at Perth when last seen. This step up in trip does pose a question mark but he has more to come and should be able to at least make the places.

Epsom Place 6 Preview | 6th June
13.30 Betfred Tattenham Corner Stakes (Group 3) NEVER SO BRAVE is a Group 1 winner that should appreciate this lower level. He will be sharper from his return in a Group 2 event and should relish the return to this shorter distance, so he’s the one to beat.

Lingfield Place 6 | 4th June
17.10 Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap ADELAIDE BAY looked unfortunate not to score at Southwell last time out, having been set with so much to do before running on strongly to only be beaten half-a-length in second.

Four handicappers to consider at the Derby Meeting
She’s Got A Brother (3yo Dash) SHE’S GOT A BROTHER won her first couple of starts on the all-weather and ran a massive race on turf debut when fourth of 17 in a big-field handicap at York. She acquitted herself very well considering she lacked experience for a race like that and is bound to have more to come.

Ripon Place 6 Preview | 3rd June
18.00 British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes FANTASY FORCE produced a solid debut effort when third at York and that form is expected to work out well. With more to come, don’t be surprised to see him go well.

Four to consider at Epsom: Group races
Royal Playwright (Diomed Stakes) Persica beat Ice Max (second) and ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT (fourth) in this race last year but I’m interested in the latter, who wasn’t far behind the pair and could bridge the gap.
