Handicappers' nap

Otago (7.50 Epsom)

Shaped as if in good form when ridden closer than usual to the pace over a mile at Brighton last time. Refitted with the cheekpieces, in which he was successful off this mark at Brighton last October, this dual course-and-distance winner should find the race run to suit, if reverting to more patient tactics under Charlie Bennett.

Eyecatcher

Valentia Island (4.10 Newmarket)

The Charlie Appleby-trained daughter of Starspangledbanner shaped nicely over course and distance on her debut and can reverse form with Miss Fascinator.

The Punt nap

Kitty Rose (4.45 Newmarket)

Oisin Murphy's mount was beaten a head by a subsequent Classic runner-up on her reappearance and gets 5lb from all of her rivals here.

Newmarket nap

Lead Artist (4.45 Newmarket)

Very impressive when winning at York last time, the John and Thady Gosden-trained colt has since worked nicely on the watered gallop.

Speed figures

Sergeant Wilko (3.00 Newmarket)

The Kevin Ryan-trained sprinter is on the upgrade, earned a personal-best last time and may still be ahead of his revised mark.

Dark horse

Sea Emily Run (4.10 Newmarket)

Slowly away on her debut and had to overcome traffic issues, but ran on pleasingly to finish a close-up fourth. Looked in need of that experience and would be no surprise if she took a big step forward.
