Epsom Placepot picks: Robbie Wilders heads to Surrey for his eight-line perm

Epsom's card is the most compelling from a betting perspective and I'm banking on Mokaatilobliging in the opening 5f handicap (1.50).

He is two from three at the track and the booking of talented 7lb claimer Harry Davies suggests connections mean business.

The Blue Riband Trial (2.20) is more open than the early prices imply. The unbeaten Sheer Rocks has defeated odds-on favourites twice in good style and might spring a surprise.

Invernesswill stay much further than this 1m2f trip in time but looked a colt to follow when scoring at odds of 17-2 in a decent Goodwood contest last September.

Soto Sizzler has never been out of the first two at Epsom and should finish in the frame again in the 1m2f handicap (2.55). Arenas Del Tiempo also loves it here and arrives in red-hot form.

The 1m4f handicap (3.30) looks a decent opportunity for Kings Prince to regain the winning thread after an encouraging comeback at Leicester in April.

Schmilsson, by former champion sprinter Muhaarar out of a Prix de l'Opera winner, is open to improvement and relied on in the following maiden (4.00).

The last leg (4.30) looks a decent opportunity for Pub Crawl to go one better after a promising second at Leicester this month. Richard Hughes-trained debut winners tend to be useful and Lost Of Love had an excuse for his defeat last time, so is also selected.
