Jane Lachatte knows her way around Epsom with two victories already posted at this esoteric circuit, but she could have to play second fiddle to TAMARRUD on this occasion. Saeed Bin Suroor's colt was well supported ahead of his run at Pontefract, and though his backers may have been disappointed on the day, the race was a hot one by the track's standards. Cyrus Sod has suffered the ignominy of being turned over as favourite on his last three starts. The hood is reached for in order to register an elusive success. Daliance was doing his best work at the finish of his most recent start at Kempton so Tom Dascombe has understandably elected to step him back up in trip.
