Epsom Downs Race 6 - Betfred 'Follow Us On X' Hcp (Div 2)
NYMPHAEA (2) had been building towards a big performance before getting off the mark at the fourteenth attempt at Nottingham last week under Marco Ghiani who retains the ride. Penalised for that triumph however rates a major player. JUST ADAIR (3) remains unexposed. Made a good return at Windsor last month and with fitness now on his side it would be no shock were he to get involved taking on this realistic assignment. NARANKA (9) remains a maiden after six attempts. Produced a personal best when runner up at Lingfield Park in May. Best watched. GEARING'S POINT (4) returned to winning ways at Brighton and is feared.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by a nose at Nottingham June 25 over 2800m defeating Two Plus Two with 56kg at $3.30. The run before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Windsor on June 8 over 2300m, 2.5 len behind Nala The Lioness with 61kg at $7. Hard to go past based on recent performances.
