Meet the horses in the morning before racing on the Downs

It may not be quite Breakfast with the Stars in Investec Derby week but on Monday Epsom and its trainers combine for the increasingly popular open day.

While the training centre has opened its collective doors for more than a dozen years this is only the second time it has been run in conjunction with a race day at the home of the Derby.

In keeping with what is billed a bank holiday family day out the race day has a superhero theme with plenty of thrills and prizes in store for children who get free entry.
