Epsom Downs 3.05 ... Fathom Five @ 7/1

Dandy Nicholls runs 4 here and Crimea was interesting at 1st glance but is yet to win on soft going. Sure to be plenty pace on here with confirmed front runners in oposition but the prevailing conditions should suit Fathom Five who was 4th (Edit: 5th) in this last season and comes out best at the weights with the rivals from last Years event.
La Fortunata would be the danger on my ratings.

Ripon 3.35 ... Lord Aeryn @ 11/1

I have it closely rated on the revised weights with Lord Aeryn, Dubai Dynamo and Snow Bay from their encounter here in May.
Lord Aeryn comes out 10lb in front of Dubai Dynamo for the 2.5 length deficit beaten in that event, but only 1lb with front runner Snow Bay so will need things to drop right to get his head in front.
Dream Lodge is becoming very well handicapped on past performances and IF handling the going could reward at tasty odds as he meats Dubai Dynamo 17lb better than here in a Class2 event in May.

Newcastle 4.35 ... Sharp Shoes @ 11/4 Nap

Ran behind one of my latest selections, Here Now And Why, when making much of the running at Hamilton last time out.
Wicked Wilma in 4th and Ingleby Star in 3rd have both gone on to win off marks higher than the ceiling for this contest so the form looks decent.
Should be the one they all have to beat and the 11/4 on offer worth taking as likely to shorten before the off IMO.

Epsom Downs 4.50 ... Dont Call Me @ 7/1

Dont Call Me ran well on 1st run for the yard in June when chasing home 2 of Ruth Carr's runners in a hot looking 7fl Newcastle handicap. He looked to be wanting further on his last 3 runs over a mile in similar grades to today. His penultimate run had First Post (a winner either side of that contest) back in 5th, and a decent run from the 4th, Dolphin Rock in the 3.35 at Ripon today would boost the form somewhat.

Licence To Till rates the danger.
