Epsom Downs Race 3 - Lilley Plummer Risks City & Suburban Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
SALLAAL (1) drops in grade on seasonal return after a fair fifth tackling heavy ground in the 1600m Listed Knockaire Stakes at Leopardstown (Ireland) last October. Holds ability among this company and may improve further up in trip. Leading player. RATHGAR (5) ticks plenty of boxes following a neck victory in a lower level handicap attempting this journey at Newbury ten days ago. Brings course placed form. Main danger. DANGERMAN (7) represents top connections. Scored twice over this distance during 2025. Made the frame in this class at Sandown before a 2400m ninth contesting the Old Rowley Cup Heritage Handicap 200 days ago at Newmarket. Holds claims. ASMEN WARRIOR (6) returned with a 3.5L runner-up effort in an easier 2400m handicap at Thirsk eighteen days ago. Looks one to note.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fifth of 8 at Leopardstown in the LR October 19 over 1609m, in the wet; 9 len behind Norwalk Havoc carrying 60kg at $3. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 2 len Hamilton Park July 17 over 1670m defeating English Oak carrying 59.5kg at $1.70. Should give a great sight.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 4th of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather on March 28 over 2200m, 5.5 len behind Gamrai with 51.5kg at $41. Last start won by a neck at Newbury April 18 over 2000m defeating Valedictory carrying 61kg at $13. Rates highly and can play a major role.

Second run back. First-up after six months 2nd in a small field at Thirsk on April 10 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind In The Breeze with 61kg at $2.40. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 at Leicester on April 26 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Skimmer with 56.5kg at $5. Back in good shape and is a definite top-three hope.
