Epsom Downs Race 2 - Betfred Derby 'Wild Card' Ebf Conditions Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
An interesting race where all five are given a chance. AL WATHBA (2) represents leading connections. Placed on his first two starts prior to winning by 1L a 1600m novice event at Kempton AW with the second and third along with the fourth having all won since. Climbs in trip after a nursery fourth at Doncaster seventeen days ago. Top pick. BINCIMBAL (3) bids for a hat-trick gaining a neck success attempting a 1400m nursery here before scoring by 2.5L in the same grade trying 1600m at Carlisle. Ticks plenty of boxes. ROSE MOON (5) debuted with a 2.5L triumph in a 1600m novice event at Salisbury. Promising. SWORD SALUTE (1) drops from G1 company when 1600m seventh in the G1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine (Canada). Might feature. Course debut winner QUITE CHEEKY (4) looks one to note.
