Derby-day bankers: our tipping aces reveal their best bets for Saturday

Handicappers' nap

Hathiq (3.45 Epsom)

Progressive Irish sprinter who arrives in great form and is ahead of the game under a penalty. Well drawn and has a massive chance if proving effective at Epsom.

Newmarket Nap

Vivionn (2.30 Doncaster)

Sir Michael Stoute's filly won nicely on the all-weather at Chelmsford last time and has shaped nicely on the Limekilns of late.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Aplomb (2.50 Musselburgh)

Looked unlucky not to finish closer on his handicap debut at Ascot. Ran on well when switched and should get his head back in front before long.

Irish Angle

Romantic Proposal (3.55 Navan)

Placed on both her starts, the Eddie Lynam-trained filly makes plenty of appeal in this mile maiden. The form of her Gowran Park second last month was boosted when the third won on Wednesday and she gets the vote to score under Declan McDonogh.
Tony O'Hehir

Speed Figures

Veracious (2.35 Epsom)

Lacklustre favourite on seasonal return at Newmarket recently but was progressive last year and can make amends.
Dave Edwards

Spotlights nap

Broome (4.30 Epsom)

Looked a middle-distance prospect when runner-up over a mile in an Irish Group 2 and French Group 1 last term and will relish 1m4f given the way he asserted in two Group 3s at Leopardstown over 1m2f.

Dark horse

Politicise (2.00 Epsom)

Shapes as though this trip will be right up his street and the aid of cheekpieces could sharpen him up too. He's also well drawn.
Dave Revers
