Fontwell Park, 27 May 18 Fixture Note The open ditch was omitted in all steeple chases due to ground repairs. Race 1 - 2:15pm THE LYMINGTON TOWN SUPPORTED BY NATIONWIDE CONCRETING HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) On the final bend ROTHMAN (FR) was pulled up quickly, as a result of the gelding appearing to go wrong, which caused EDDY, placed fourth, to be carried slightly wide, but after viewing a recording of the incident it was found that no riding offence was involved.
An enquiry was held to consider interference just after the winning line when the winner SCOOBY (IRE), ridden by Kielan Woods, rolled marginally left-handed causing slight interference to DON LAMI (FR), placed second, ridden by Aidan Coleman. Woods was cautioned for careless riding as he had allowed his horse to roll in towards the rail when not sufficiently clear.
Following the race the Veterinary Officer reported that ROTHMAN (FR), which was pulled up, was lame left fore.
Race 2 - 2:50pm THE AUSSIE MAN AND VAN HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 5) The winner, CODE OF LAW, appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Kempton Park on 14 May 2018 where the gelding was pulled up. Neil Mulholland’s representative’s explanation that the gelding jumped better on this occasion was noted. CODE OF LAW was routine tested.
Following the race Mr Jordan Nailor reported that CHANGING THE GUARD, unplaced, was hampered by a faller and the Veterinary Officer reported that PIERLOW (IRE), unplaced, was lame right fore.
Race 3 - 3:25pm THE acebreakers.co.uk 'NATIONAL HUNT' MAIDEN HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) The Starter reported that MAJANALMA (IRE) had been unruly at the start, had refused to line up and was withdrawn.

Ms Woodman was informed that any future similar behaviour from the mare may result in the horse being reported to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority.
Race 4 - 4:00pm THE WARD-THOMAS MASTER REMOVERS HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 3) Permission was given for SHADY GLEN (IRE) to be mounted in the chute and go early to post.

Race 5 - 4:35pm THE AIRLYNX HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4) An enquiry was held into the running and riding of CAPPIELOW PARK, ridden by Richard Johnson, and trained by Tim Vaughan, which was held up in the rear until making some progress in the back straight on the final circuit to finish ninth, beaten 67 lengths. The rider and the trainer’s representative were interviewed and shown recordings of the race and the Veterinary Officer reported that a post-race examination found that the gelding was slightly lame right fore. The rider stated that his instructions were to drop the gelding in and get him settled. He further added that CAPPIELOW PARK was very keen in the early stages but began to tire with a circuit to go. He had squeezed the gelding along down the back straight where he made some progress before making a bad mistake three out. He further added he felt CAPPIELOW PARK had run his race, having been so keen early, and having made a bad mistake he felt it prudent to hold him together in the home straight to make sure the gelding got home. The trainer’s representative confirmed the instructions stating that she was satisfied that the ride accorded with the instructions. Their explanations were noted.
Following the race the Veterinary Officer reported that NAVAJO WAR DANCE, unplaced, lost its left fore shoe.

Race 7 - 5:45pm THE LAWRENCE HARMER-STRANGE 25TH BIRTHDAY HANDICAP HURDLE RACE (CLASS 5) On the final bend the winner, WAIKIKI WAVES (FR), shifted marginally right-handed giving SIXTIES IDOL, unplaced, a slight bump, who in turn gave BOETHIUS, unplaced, a slight bump but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of WAIKIKI WAVES (FR).
The winner, WAIKIKI WAVES (FR), appeared to show improved form, compared with its previous run at Fontwell Park on 9 May 2018 where the gelding finished sixth of fourteen, beaten around 22 lengths. Gary Moore’s explanation that WAIKIKI WAVES (FR) benefited from the application of first time blinkers was noted. The gelding was routine tested.
Andrew Tinkler, the rider of the winner, WAIKIKI WAVES (FR) was suspended for 4 days for using his whip above the permitted level from the final bend.
Andrew Glassonbury, the rider of NOW LISTEN HERE (IRE), placed second, was suspended for 7 days for using his whip above the permitted level from approaching the final flight.

The representative of Donald McCain explained that the gelding had appreciated the drop in class and a smaller field on this occasion. His explanations were noted and WILLIAM OF ORANGE was routine tested.

The winner, DRUMCLIFF (IRE), appeared to show improved form, compared with its previous run at Cheltenham on 15 March 2018 where the gelding was pulled up on going officially described as Soft.

The pyrotechnics will have to wait until raceday at Epsom at the end of the week after the track missed the thunder and lightning that erupted over London on Saturday night.
Only 2mm fell at the home of the Investec Derby, leaving the going good to soft. The hit and miss forecast means it is difficult for clerk of the course Andrew Cooper to know with any certainty what the week has in store.
Nevertheless, Cooper was pleased with the state of the course on Sunday and has no plans to water before assessing the impact of the next scheduled spate of rain due on Tuesday morning.

BIG-RACE BANKER
Restorer (4.10 Redcar)
Ian Williams won the Zetland Gold Cup in 2014 with Cashpoint and went close with Banditry last year, and he has another exceptional chance of landing the prize in recent scorer Restorer. The six-year-old had been without a win since landing a Listed prize in October 2015 for William Muir but off his reduced mark, he landed a gamble for Williams and owner Marwan Koukash on debut for connections when hacking up off a mark of 95 at Chester's May meeting. Breaking well from stall four, he made every yard of the running, winning by just under two lengths come the line with plenty more in the locker. Raised just 5lb for that success, Restorer looks the type to follow up.
Restorer 4:10 Redcar EYECATCHER
Graceful Lady (3.50 Chelmsford)
Sneaking into the bottom of this 0-85 contest off a mark of 73, Graceful Lady can go close off a low racing weight of 8st 5lb after Darragh Keenan's claim is factored in. Robert Eddery's five-year-old mare proved a revelation last season with four victories and six places in a race-heavy season, but still looks reasonably-handicapped and will be ready to resume winning ways after her reappearance sixth at Ascot. Having been held up, she was still last with a furlong to go but ran on well late in the day to pass five rivals under hands and heels. She'll improve plenty for that and this former course-and-distance winner should go close.
Graceful Lady 3:50 Chelmsford (AW)

Four-year-old is a capable sort and won at this venue last term. Has more to offer, especially over this 1m2f trip.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner
Koditime (4.50 Windsor)
Highly tried last year and showed why when quite a taking winner in a very competitive race at the Dante meeting. A 4lb rise seems lenient and is expected to win again.
Koditime 4:50 Windsor Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Scottish Summit (4.45 Redcar)
Recorded a personal best when breaking his duck in convincing style at Nottingham earlier this month and may still be ahead of his new mark.
Scottish Summit 4:45 Redcar Longshot: Samuel King
Figeac (3.50 Chelmsford)
Nick Littmoden's horse will be fit from his recent spell over hurdles and should appreciate this return to the Flat. He put up a good effort at Kempton back in March and can go well at a double-figure price.
Figeac 3:50 Chelmsford (AW) Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Lareena (6.30 Ballinrobe)
A bad blunder at the final hurdle probably cost the Willie Mullins-trained mare victory in a valuable handicap at Killarney 15 days ago. Back against her own sex here, she makes plenty of appeal and gets the vote to score under David Mullins.
Lareena 6:30 Ballinrobe The Raceform Interactive nugget
The gelding Eiri Na Casca has impressive form figures of 121 when racing at Ballinrobe, so he rates a solid each-way bet on his return to that track in the competitive looking 7.30.

Saeed Bin Suroor has an overall strike-rate of 35 per cent with his first-time-out three-year-olds (31-88). At Leicester, that stat improves to 67 per cent (4-6) and today he saddles Recordman (3.30).
Charlie Hills and Jim Crowley have individual strike-rates of 21 and 14 per cent at Leicester. When they combine, that rises to 40 per cent and they do so with Livvys Dream (2.20).
Richard Newland has a superb record of 18 wins from 54 runners (33 per cent) with horses making their debut for him having switched from another yard. Competition joined Newland from Brian Rothwell and goes in the 2.00 at Huntingdon.

in today's sporting life.................... Big Country is Keith Hamer's fancy for the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar and he has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland. Big Country is worth another chance back up to a mile and a quarter in the Racing UK Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar. Michael Appleby's smart handicapper was well beaten in the Lincoln over a mile on his latest start, but it makes sense to put a line through that run. He had been fancied for the traditional turf season curtain raiser Doncaster after winning the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton. But Big Country is arguably better at longer distances and 10 furlongs could be his optimum. He has been lowered 2lb in the ratings and a repeat of his second place behind subsequent dual Group Three victor Ballet Concerto in the John Smith's Cup at York could see him defy top weight. Fleetfoot Jack should be razor sharp and ready to pounce for the David O'Meara stable in the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap after two encouraging runs at Haydock and Hamilton, having ended last term with two wins at Hamilton in the early autumn. Jumira Prince won well on his first run of the campaign at Doncaster and looks a good bet to follow up in the Foxton Handicap over an extended mile at Leicester. The Roger Varian-trained four-year-old had been absent for 253 days before justifying favouritism with a cosy, though narrow, success on Town Moor. The handicapper may have been a little lenient in only raising him 4lb. Amourice looks up to giving weight all-round in the Vis-A-Vis Symposiums Fillies' Handicap. Jane Chapple-Hyam's daughter of Authorized got off the mark at Doncaster three weeks, on her second try at a mile and a half. That trip really suits her and she should relish the long straight at the East Midlands venue. Koditime can lift the Sky Bets Price Boosts Handicap at Windsor after making light of a nine-month break when scoring in good style at York earlier this month. This five-furlong heat does not look as tough as his latest expedition and he can oblige again before trainer Clive Cox looks to step him back up in class. He was thought good enough to run in the Group Three Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood last summer. Author's Dream won four-times over two miles on the all-weather during the winter and can make a successful switch back to an artificial surface in the Bet Totetrifecta At totesport.com Handicap at Chelmsford. William Knight's five-year-old is dropped back in grade after defeats at Kempton and on turf at Ascot.

Jessica Harrington realised a long-held ambition as she registered her her first Classic success with Alpha Centauri in the Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh. Harrington has enjoyed plenty of success both in the National Hunt division and the Flat sphere, but a big space on her CV reserved for one of the Classics has now been filled. Could It Be Love held a notable advantage in the mile heat with a couple of furlongs to run before Colm O'Donoghue delivered his mount down the middle of the track to win by a length and three-quarters, with the favourite Happily only third. "It's fantastic - I've finally got the Classic," said Harrington. "I've been second and third and the horses have always run really well, but this is dream come true for me to win a Classic. It's almost as good as winning a Gold Cup! "To win a race like this is absolutely fantastic. I'm just waiting for the Ascot winner now. "This is the first time since Ascot last year that she's got good ground and that's the key to her. She likes good, quick ground. "I'd say we'll look at Ascot, but we'll let the dust settle and see what we are doing."

Lancaster Bomber trumped his better-fancied stablemate Cliffs Of Moher to claim the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh. Trying the trip for the first time, Seamie Heffernan took up the running in the early stages on the eventual winner and built up a big advantage. While Cliffs Of Moher and favourite Defoe did close, Lancaster Bomber (100-30) was going away again at the line and won by two lengths. O'Brien said: "He's been running at the top level the whole time, all in Group Ones, and obviously we didn't think he'd get a mile and a quarter.

Pat Smullen enjoyed a day at the Curragh on Sunday as he continues his recovery after being diagnosed with a tumour. Smullen has been out of action since late-March, but Dermot Weld's stable jockey explained his recovery was going as well as could be expected. He told At The Races: "I'm feeling well, everything is going as well as hoped. So far so good is all I can say. This was a little goal I set myself from the first day when I got sick, I wanted to come racing on Guineas weekend to support Chiara Luna in the Guineas. "The shock was the first thing, (for) myself and my family. Once I got over that, I said that this was the situation and now I'm focused totally on fighting it. I've got a great medical team and I'm getting great support from everybody. What else can you do other than fight it? "I'd like to thank everybody for the support I've had - it's been worldwide. The boss has been amazing, he's kept me involved, and it's great to see the horses running so well, I love being part of the team."

The racing keeps on coming and there’s no shortage of interesting runners at Ballinrobe on Monday evening. Here are three horses worth keeping a close eye on . . .
Dawn Shadow 6.30 Ballinrobe
Dawn Shadow 6:30 Ballinrobe It speaks volumes that Dot Love has opted to keep Dawn Shadow, winner of a Listed mares’ hurdle at the Punchestown festival, on the go this summer and she ought to take some stopping this evening.
Out of a sister to Shadow Eile, a mare who Love guided to nine career wins, Dawn Shadow looks to be another exciting sort from the family who can represent the stable well.
Rachael Blackmore knows the six-year-old inside out and, while Dawn Shadow has to give weight away to all eight rivals, she should be up to the task.
The Last Indian 7.00 Ballinrobe
The Last Indian 7:00 Ballinrobe Aidan Howard has a good one on his hands in The Last Indian who can climb through the handicap ranks over hurdles this summer.
Unlucky to bump into Lord Erskine on her seasonal debut at Sligo, The Last Indian then bolted up off a 7lb higher mark at Tipperary, and, stepping out quickly under a penalty, she should go in again under 7lb claimer Simon Torrens.
Usa 8.00 Ballinrobe
Usa 8:00 Ballinrobe No man targets Ballinrobe quite like Steve Mahon and the Galway-based handler could make the short journey to the Mayo track a winning one with Usa, who represents the stable in the penultimate handicap chase.
The 11-year-old ran a fine race to finish fourth in a decent handicap chase at Punchestown this month, and, stepping down in grade on his favoured good ground, he should fill the frame at least.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Worth Waiting (3.30 Redcar, nap)
Ran a decent second on her reappearance over a mile at Nottingham this month and should relish this extra quarter-mile. David Lanigan's filly has since impressed on the watered gallop.

Lambourn: James Burn
Sawwaah (3.40 Lingfield, nap)
No surprise Owen Burrows – whose string are starting to fire – has taken his time with this promising sort, who is well bred and looked useful when winning the Wood Ditton on debut at Newmarket last month.
Others to follow Brighton 5.50 Felstead Knight, 6.20 Sayesse, 7.20 Wink Oliver. Leicester 1.50 Jack's Point, 2.20 Peace And Plenty, 2.50 Ghost Serge, 3.20 Electric Landlady, 4.20 Ghazan.

Others to follow Brighton 6.20 Sarangoo, 8.20 Kaaber, 8.50 Titus Secret.
North: Colin Russell
Prying Pandora (8.40 Wolverhampton, nap)
Only win came last May on Tapeta. Not been in quite such good form on turf this year after a wind operation, but is fancied to take advantage of her current good mark now back on this surface and breaking from a good draw.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner
General Ginger (4.40 Lingfield)
First Flat run undoubtedly flatters but has been given a very fair opening handicap mark on balance of all other evidence. Strong chance in weak race.
Topspeed: Dave Edwards
White Desert (7.10 Wolverhampton)
Shapes as though this trip will bring out the best in him and Charlie Appleby's four-year-old can make light of his burden.
Longshot: Dave Revers
Incredible Dream (4.40 Lingfield)
Dean Ivory's five-year-old is unexposed over staying distances and could outrun his likely odds with William Cox taking off a handy 5lb.
Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Rashaan (7.30 Ballinrobe)
A versatile performer with 11 wins to his credit – seven over hurdles and four on the Flat. The Colin Kidd-trained six-year-old is taken to get off the mark over fences at the second attempt having finished second on his chasing debut at Limerick nine days ago.
The Raceform Interactive nugget
David Simcock's handicappers at Redcar have finished 1611921 since 2013, which can be broken down to 11121 when sent off under 10-1. His impeccably bred Highland Sky has to be of interest in the 2.30.

Richard Kingscote has a 31 per cent strike-rate when riding for Ed Walker at Wolverhampton and they combine with Smiley Bagel (7.10). This course winner is in good heart and is trying today’s distance for the first time.
George Scott has an impressive 36 per cent strike-rate at Redcar and sends one horse to the North Yorkshire venue, Keir Hardie (3.00). The son of Dark Angel can find improvement for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces and a gelding operation.
Champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa has seven rides at Lingfield, his final one being in the last at 5.10 before he dashes off to Brighton for one ride (Romaana, 6.50). Simon Crisford’s three-year-old filly can build on a promising debut at Leicester last season.

Leicester Roger Varian has two in the 7f fillies’ handicap and Angel’s Glory (3.20) is favoured.
The three-year-old has yet to live up to her 300,000gns price tag, but she has shown promise in all three starts, most recently at Redcar where she picked up second to Pretty Baby.
She was easily brushed aside there, but that rival has since won a Listed race and there’s nothing like her in this race.
Immortal Romance (4.20) enjoyed the step up to 1m2f when winning at Yarmouth last time. He had a bit left so can shrug off a 7lb rise in the weights.
3/1 Angel's Glory 3:20 Leicester 8/1 Immortal Romance 4:20 Leicester Redcar Lever Du Soleil (2.30) failed to get competitive in three maidens, but he has benefited from stiffer tests of stamina since moving into handicap company, picking up minor honours at Musselburgh and Wolverhampton.
He was staying on strongly when third over 1m4f last time out and can break his maiden now that he steps up to 1m6f for the first time.
Gun Case (3.00) did well to secure second after a slow start at Hamilton last time and can win now if getting away on terms.
5/2 Lever Du Soleil 2:30 Redcar 6/1 Gun Case 3:00 Redcar Brighton Rocksette (7.50) has yet to win a race, but her latest Lingfield second suggests it is only a matter of time before she gets her head in front.
Sent off favourite, she hit the front approaching the final furlong but couldn’t quite hold off the determined challenge of Midnight Mood.
In-form apprentice Jason Watson takes over and his 5lb claim can help Philip Hide’s filly make the breakthrough in this 1m2f handicap.
3/1 Rocksette 7:50 Brighton Lingfield Spring Romance (2.40) has been in great form recently and may be able to continue his progress in the 6f handicap.
The three-year-old was given plenty of time after some modest juvenile efforts and has thrived since his comeback, winning three of four starts this year including at Windsor last time out when he came with a powerful late challenge to deny Kodiac Express.
A 3lb rise still leaves him on a winnable mark.
7/2 Spring Romance 2:40 Lingfield (AW) Wolverhampton Finoah (6.40) got stuck in the mud when making his debut at Leicester in April but produced a much better performance on a quicker surface at Chester second time out.
He didn’t quite have the gears to match clear winner Wedding Date that day but only lost second in the dying strides.
Even a repeat of that form would give Tom Dascombe’s charge every chance here, but he promises to improve again over this extra furlong.
5/2 Finoah 6:40 Wolverhampton (AW) Get tips for every race run in Britain from Tuesday to Sunday in this week's Racing & Football Outlook - out every Tuesday

2/1 Roy Rocket 7:50 Brighton Course hero, who has won six times at the seaside track and nowhere else.
The grey has started the turf campaign on a most attractive mark, and showed that he retains plenty of ability when runner-up to progressive Esspeegee earlier this month.
Dropped to Class 6 company, Roy Rocket will take the world of beating and merits a significant investment.

Formerly trained in Ireland by Charles O'Brien, the five-year-old enjoyed an excellent debut season for Mick Appleby in 2017, winning three times as well as finishing second in the John Smith's Cup at York. He kicked off the new campaign with victory in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton, but disappointed in the Lincoln itself and was a 9/2 chance stepping back up to a mile and a quarter for Redcar's #50,000 feature. With champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa on his back, Big Country was soon bowling along in front and saw off all comers to score by half a length from 25/1 shot Nicholas T. Appleby said: "He did it well and did it the hard way. I thought it was a good performance. "He's in the Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot and we'll enter him in the Wolferton Stakes as well. I'd imagine we'll probably go for the Wolferton now."

The daughter of Lord Shanakill rounded off last season with an all-the-way victory at Catterick, but finished down the field on her return to action at Nottingham last month. However, back on a sounder surface, the 13/2 shot readily scooted three lengths clear in the hands of 5lb claimer Ger O'Neill. "She won nicely and got a good ride from Ger. We're delighted," said Carroll. "I wouldn't say she was disappointing at Nottingham. She was beaten less than four lengths and maybe the ground was a bit soft for her. She was certainly sharper today. "She is entered at Catterick on Friday. We'll see how she is, but I'd say it's unlikely she'll run there. "Hopefully we can place her to win another one."

It was just the third racecourse appearance for the Nicky Henderson-trained gelding in 21 months, but showed he still retains plenty of ability. "It was pretty amazing considering he's had a few problems. He's had a tendon injury. We've had to be patient and his owners have had to be patient with him," said James Ramsden, managing director of owners Chelsea Thoroughbreds. "It was very exciting to see him in the winner's enclosure. "We'll wait to speak to Nicky. We'll get the horse home first and think about things. "I think the plan is to continue hurdling. He wants a bit of cut in the ground. "They watered at Huntingdon last night and we did think about it. He certainly wouldn't have wanted it any faster. It will be hard to find suitable ground now." Humphrey Bogart was rated 105 on the Flat Humphrey Bogart was rated 105 on the Flat Humphrey Bogart is likely to have a break before resuming over hurdles in the autumn when he has his conditions. "We just wanted to see him back and make sure we'd still got a horse," said Ramsden. "That was the idea for today, to show he's still got it and he still retains his ability. "Nicky has been pleased with how he's been schooling. Bit by bit these things click into place. "He deserves a little break now and we should have some exciting times come the autumn when the heavens open up again. "He could be a dual-purpose horse, but the idea is to press on with the hurdling campaign."

Saxon Warrior is the star name among 14 confirmations for the Investec Derby at Epsom on Saturday. The son of Deep Impact is odds-on across the board for the premier Classic after extending his unbeaten record to four in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket earlier this month. Trainer Aidan O'Brien has seven remaining entries in all as he chases a joint-record seventh Derby success. The other Ballydoyle hopefuls are Delano Roosevelt, Kew Gardens, The Pentagon, Nelson, Rostropovich and Zabriskie. Dermot Weld's Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial winner Hazapour is the only other Irish-trained contender. Investec Derby, Epsom Saturday June 2 Latest Sky Bet odds (Non Runner No Bet, prices correct at 1300 BST 28/05/2018) Saxon Warrior 8/11 Roaring Lion 5/1 Young Rascal 10/1 Delano Roosevelt 12/1 Hazapour 12/1 Masar 14/1 Knight To Behold 16/1 Rostropovich 20/1 The Pentagon 20/1 Dee Ex Bee 25/1 Sevenna Star 25/1 Kew Gardens 40/1 Nelson 40/1 Zabriskie 50/1 The home team is headed by John Gosden's runaway Dante winner Roaring Lion, who finished fifth behind Saxon Warrior in the 2000 Guineas. Masar, who was third in the 2000 Guineas, will bid to become a first Derby winner in the Godolphin colours for Charlie Appleby. Chester Vase hero Young Rascal is a leading fancy for William Haggas and is set to renew rivalries with the Mark Johnston-trained Dee Ex Bee, who was runner-up on the Roodee. Harry Dunlop's Lingfield Derby Trial winner Knight To Behold and Gosden's second runner Sevenna Star complete the potential field. Sporting Life ✔ @sportinglife 🏇🏻 There’s an extra sprinkling of magic dust over Saturday’s Investec Derby, with favourite Saxon Warrior bang on course for the Triple Crown. @mattbrocklebank looks at what’s facing the son of Deep Impact. 12:15 PM - May 28, 2018 2 See Sporting Life's other Tweets Twitter Ads info and privacy Niarchos family eye more Classic glory The Niarchos Family will bid for their second Classic success in the space of a week when Zabriskie goes for glory in Saturday's Investec Derby. The Jessica Harrington-trained Alpha Centauri carried the famous colours to victory in Sunday's Irish 1,000 Guineas and Zabriskie, one of seven potential runners for Aidan O'Brien in the premier Classic, has been confirmed an intended runner at Epsom. The son of Frankel has won just one of his five starts to date, but posted a career-best effort when third in the Dante Stakes at York behind Roaring Lion earlier this month. Alan Cooper, racing manager for the owners, said: "Aidan says he is an improving horse and Zabriskie gave me the impression at York that he would stay a mile and a half. "His half-brother Bago (by 1989 Derby winner Nashwan) won the Arc over a mile and a half so there is stamina in the pedigree. "Zabriskie handled the track at Epsom very well when he ran in the Investec Blue Riband Trial in April (finished sixth). "The Derby has been the hope for a long time. Aidan has not yet finalised the jockeys for his Derby runners."

ITV Racing's Ed Chamberlin looks ahead to the Investec Derby Festival in his latest column and he has tips for both Classics, including a 25/1 chance in the big one. Last Thursday’s evening card at Sandown was a terrific success and I was thrilled the groundbreaking ITV coverage reached 400,000 viewers. It just shows, the appetite is there for good midweek racing on terrestrial TV. That has put the team in a great mood ahead of the Derby meeting and I still look upon this week last year as the most enjoyable in my ITV Racing career so far. There was drama right from the off with Aidan O’Brien’s horses being delayed and we followed their progress from the airport and along the motorway to see if they would reach the track in time. They did, with minutes to spare, but the drama was far from over. "He’s bailed, he’s bailed," yelled Jason Weaver when Daddys Lil Darling bolted to post prior to the Oaks, Olivier Peslier taking evasive action as the American filly charged towards the starting stalls. ITV Racing ✔ @itvracing In case you missed it: Daddys Lil Darling bolts going down to the start of the Oaks and Olivier Peslier bails out - horse & jockey OK 10:37 AM - Jun 3, 2017 40 47 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Perhaps the rumbling of thunder had something to do with her spooking, but the electrical storm in the sky was tame compared to the one on the track as Enable scorched the turf to win the fillies’ Classic by five lengths in tremendous style. It would be a surprise if this year’s Oaks was as enjoyable as that one and at the moment it looks an absolute guess up. Lah Ti Dar’s unfortunate absence is the reason for that and what a shame for owners Lord and Lady Lloyd Webber, who have had some rank bad luck with this race. So Mi Dar, Lah Ti Dar’s half-sister, missed it two years ago with injury and who can forget The Fugue’s luckless passage in 2012? Hopefully Lah Ti Dar will be fit and firing later in the season, but in her absence I’ll take Aidan O’Brien (who else?) to land the Oaks with unlucky Chester runner-up FOREVER TOGETHER. Weaver was straight onto her Epsom chance after the Cheshire Oaks and I have come around to his way of thinking. She was stopped at every turn, it was her seasonal reappearance and she must improve a bundle for that. It was a bit Wings Of Eagles-esque, really, and jockey plans later in the week will be fascinating, but in an open renewal I feel she has more improvement than most in her and for that reason the appeals to me. Also on Friday I’m looking forward to seeing Cracksman strut his stuff in the Investec Coronation Cup. It’s hard to believe he didn’t win last year’s Derby considering subsequent events but he should win this in a canter… it looks a penalty kick for him. Investec Derby, Epsom Saturday June 2 Latest Sky Bet odds (Non Runner No Bet, prices correct at 1730 BST 28/05/2018) Saxon Warrior 8/11 Roaring Lion 5/1 Young Rascal 10/1 Delano Roosevelt 12/1 Hazapour 12/1 Masar 14/1 Knight To Behold 16/1 Rostropovich 20/1 The Pentagon 20/1 DEE EX BEE 25/1 Sevenna Star 25/1 Kew Gardens 40/1 Nelson 40/1 Zabriskie 50/1 That brings us onto the main event, the Investec Derby, and it’s all about one horse. The unbeaten 2000 Guineas winner, the super son of Japanese sire Deep Impact, Saxon Warrior. Part of me wants him to win by 10 lengths and announce himself as a superstar. Ballydoyle really should be commended for aiming for history and the Triple Crown with this horse, rather than thinking solely about the commercial side of their breeding operation. If he wins this, make no mistake, Saxon Warrior will be on the front pages of newspapers ahead of the St Leger at Doncaster and that would be fantastic for the sport and everyone connected with it. However, he’s 8/11 and I couldn’t back him at that price. The Guineas form took a few knocks with Gustav Klimt and particularly Elarqam being beaten in the Irish version at the weekend and Saxon Warrior does still have to prove that he stays. That means the race has a nice betting shape to it for each-way punters and I’m mad keen on DEE EX BEE at 25/1 (). He’s got loads going for him. He won at the track as a juvenile, which is crucial, but nothing has gone right for him this season. He couldn’t get to the lead back at Epsom in the trial in April and then he was drawn wide in the Chester Vase where a bump from Young Rascal didn’t help his cause. But he will relish this trip, unlike plenty, and I’d say Silvestre de Sousa, a great jockey booking by the way, will be doing his best to make sure this horse goes forward from an early stage. If Saxon Warrior reels him in, all well and good - we'll have a monster Triple Crown story on our hands. But I’m convinced the big and likeable Dee Ex Bee will give us a great run for our money and he can at least hit the frame at big odds.

Keith Hamer says Worth Waiting can make it third-time lucky at Redcar before possibly going on to bigger and better things. While her early-closing entry in the Darley Irish Oaks may well be flying too high, she already shown when finishing second in two starts to date that she is capable of winning races. After racing over seven furlongs and an extended mile, David Lanigan's charge could show improvement when stepped up to a mile and a quarter. She looks a most likely type in the Racing UK HD On Sky 426 Median Auction Maiden Stakes Peace Dreamer's first success came at the Cleveland venue in June and, while she was beaten twice after that, she got this season off to a winning start at Bath in early May. Robert Cowell has found a good opportunity for the daughter of Sir Prancealot in the Watch Racing In Stunning HD Fillies' Handicap. Bounty Pursuit has been collared close home over seven furlongs in her last two starts and the drop back to six can pay off for Michael Blake's six-year-old in the Orbital 29 June Handicap at Brighton. Fanaar shaped well on his debut in what looked a good maiden at Newmarket won by Konchek, who did the form no harm when a close third in the Listed National Stakes at Sandown on Thursday. The William Haggas-trained youngster stayed on well in the final half a furlong to suggest that he should be suited by the step up to six furlongs the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes at Leicester. Owen Burrows was not surprised by Sawwaah's success at 25-1 on his debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket's Craven meeting. The son of New Approach looked as though he would be suited by the step up to to a mile and a quarter which he gets in division two of the Play Blackjack At 188Bet Casino Confined Novice Stakes at Lingfield. White Desert tackles a mile and three-quarters for the first time at Wolverhampton and that looks a winning move for the four-year-old. Charlie Appleby's charge got within a neck of Glencadam Glory over a mile and a half on this course last month after a long break and has since finished third at Newmarket. The Jewson Handicap looks the right race for the Teofilo gelding.

Dave Crosse is facing three months on the sidelines after fracturing his right thumb in a fall at Huntingdon on Bank Holiday Monday.
Crosse, who last year enjoyed his most successful season since 06/07 in terms of winners, sustained the injury when he was unseated close home in the concluding bumper when his mount, Edabean, veered right and jumped over the rails and onto the chase course.
Speaking on Tuesday while awaiting surgery, Crosse said: "I've a Bennett's fracture of the thumb in my right hand and will be out for three months.

Salisbury racecourse will improve stewarding and explore whether it is possible to have drink-free areas after trainer Eve Johnson Houghton's altercation with a group of men in a section reserved for owners and trainers during Saturday's evening meeting.
Jeremy Martin, clerk of the course and executive director at the Wiltshire course, was not aware of the incident until he read about Johnson Houghton's experience in the Racing Post.
But after speaking to the trainer on Tuesday he said it was unacceptable that she had to endure such "idiotic and obnoxious" behaviour.
Johnson Houghton called for designated drinking areas after she had been involved in an exchange with eight to ten men in their 20s when she asked them to move from the owners' and trainers' section.
Martin said: "It appears that this is a case of some young male racegoers being idiotic and obnoxious. In Eve's own words they were non-aggressive and non-threatening, which she very much emphasises.
"They were in the owners' and trainers' seated area, which is in the top corner of the Bibury stand. It's something we have never stewarded because there has not been something like this before. I will make sure we have a better stewarding presence in the top level of the Bibury stand and that that area for owners and trainers is just that. "It was not an incident of disorder, it was young men being in the wrong place and being obnoxious. When she has asked them to sit down they have been cheeky and rude back and have used bad language, which is not acceptable."
Security at Goodwood and Ascot and levels of drinking at racecourses generally have come under scrutiny after outbreaks of fighting at two Saturday meetings this month.
Martin said all Salisbury's Saturday evening meetings are attended by six police officers plus security staff, specially trained to deal with city and town nightlife, while the size of the track might limit the options for introducing designated drinking areas.
"Salisbury is a small course with only small enclosures," he said. "There are three or four Saturday nights when it is busier than normal.
"We'll discuss as a board if there are one or two areas you can make drink free, and possibly that upper seated level. We're a bit limited as to where we can restrict but we'll certainly look at it."

There is a feast of evening action with four meetings taking place in Britain and Ireland, all on At The Races. Brighton and Gowran host turf fixtures, all-weather racing takes place at Wolverhampton, while Ballinrobe provides the sole jumps fixture. Here are three to look out for.
Roy Rocket 7.50 Brighton
Brighton are racing so that must mean the return of Roy Rocket. The cult hero returns to his beloved seaside course bidding for a seventh victory at the track.
Second to the in-form Esspeegee on his last start under Rules, Roy Rocket has since run another good race to fill the same berth under transgender rider Victoria Smith in a charity race at Warwick last week, making up plenty of ground but coming up short.
Roy Rocket will once again be coming late in an attempt to capture this race for trainer John Berry, who also runs potential improver Sussex Girl earlier on the card (7.20).
9/4 Roy Rocket 7:50 Brighton A Sizing Network 8.00 Ballinrobe
After a double at the Curragh on Sunday, headlined by the brilliant Irish 1,000 Guineas success of Alpha Centauri, Jessica Harrington is aiming to snare another big prize in the form of the McHale Mayo National.
A Sizing Network, who carries the famous Sizing John colours of Ann & Alan Potts Ltd, represents Harrington in the highlight of the day at Ballinrobe.
Ridden by Robbie Power, A Sizing Network was seventh in the Killarney National on his most recent outing and will need to step up on his recent form. However, given Harrington’s skill with all sorts of horse, it would not be a huge surprise if he did.
8/1 A Sizing Network 8:00 Ballinrobe Considered Opinion 8.40 Wolverhampton
Placing horses in races which give them the best chance of winning is an important skill for any trainer and Ralph Beckett looks to have been at his canniest with this filly.
Second in a 0-95 handicap against the boys last time off the same mark, Considered Opinion drops into a 0-75 fillies’ handicap here with Beckett exploiting the clause which allows horses rated up to 2lb above the top mark to run in certain races.
Considered Opinion looks to have her rivals covered on form and has a good all-weather record. Should the mission be accomplished tonight, it will be interesting to see where Beckett goes next.
9/4 Considered Opinion 8:40 Wolverhampton (AW) Keep up to date with all of this evening's action with Raceday Live

Queensland's leading trainer Ben Currie will lodge an application for a stay on a suspension of his licence after he was charged with 31 breaches of the racing rules.
Toowoomba-based Currie, who leads the state's trainer standings with 130 wins, was called to front a reconvened stewards' inquiry in Brisbane on Monday.
After a three-hour hearing at Queensland Racing Integrity Commission headquarters, Currie was charged with 31 breaches of racing rules dating back two years and suspended pending completion of the inquiry.
Outside the hearing Currie said he already pleaded not guilty and would defend all charges.
