Epsom Downs Race 2 - Oddschecker British Ebf Woodcote Stakes (Conditions Race) (Gbb Race)
Karl Burke won this a couple of seasons ago and may do so again with POSSESSIVE (5). The team has already made a flying start with their juveniles this year and the son of Lucky Vega arrives having created a nice impression when scoring first time out at York (1200m). He's got a decent draw in stall six and can remain unbeaten. ALPE D'HUEZ (1) showed speed when making all to win first up at Lingfield AW and must be taken seriously. The more experienced HICKORY LAD (4) was a solid second at Chester last time out and that experience should stand him in good stead at this unique track. A DANDYMAN DAN (2) might get involved.

Capable of building on that performance and he looks one of the main chances.
