I feel that sometimes when Newbury race I focus there (it’s a lovely track), so this Friday I have moved my attentions to Epsom for a change.
In the opener at 2.05pm, a seven-furlong nursery, I am hoping the rest of the betting world ignores the chances of top-weight Gascony who I think has every chance. Last time out he was a dismal last of 11 at Glorious Goodwood, but that was a Class Two, and on heavy ground.
He is far better judged on his second at Leicester where he was only beaten half a length on good to firm in mid-July, and a repeat of that off 4lb higher may well be more than enough in this company and with Tommie Jakes claiming 5lb from the saddle.
