A First Selection for Friday

Good Afternoon folks

A selection for Friday below, more to follow later.

3:15 Epsom

AKECHETA 1/2 Point Each Way @ 13/1 Lads boost, 12/1 normal, 11/1 4 places generally

A likeable sort, County Tipperary trainer Kevin Coleman has a good strike-rate with his runners in Britain and it may well have been better still had his Derry Lad received the luck in this race last year. That third followed a second for the stable in the 2021 Dash but this race is where they can break the ice at the Derby meeting, with AKECHETA. This mare, like Derry Lad, is likely to be coming from off the pace, but she looks ready to strike judged on her two eye-catching finishes over 1m at the Curragh this term. She is very interesting for Irish trainer who’s had a second, third and fourth from his three runners at Epsom, the first two of those at this meeting. She is very interesting for Irish trainer who’s had a second, third and fourth from his three runners at Epsom, the first two of those at this meeting and worth chancing in a tough handicap.
