TODAYS TIPS (TUESDAY)

Sam King pinpoints selections from Epsom worth following this Tuesday.

15:15 EPSOM

Aurel hasn’t been seen for 311 days but there’s every chance that break will have allowed him to mature both physically and mentally. A narrow winner of a Leicester novice event last season, he went on to finish a fairly eye-catching seventh in the Golden Gate Stakes at Royal Ascot. A mark of 93 ought to prove workable and he can show improvement for the subsequent gelding operation. He’s preferred to fellow returners Sallaal and Dangerman.

AUREL (WIN)

15:50 EPSOM

Asgard’s Captain heads to Epsom fit from his recent spell in Dubai and has the added bonus of proven winning form over the course and distance. He ran well in defeat when third off this mark at Meydan last time out and could get this run to suit from stall four. Dylan Cunha’s charge may lack the scope for progress that Sing Us A Song possesses but he can make race fitness and course form count here. ASGARD’S CAPTAIN (WIN)
