Fancied Sariska has competition in the perfect starter at Epsom
THE Oaks at Epsom today makes the perfect starter for the main course of the Derby tomorrow. Sariska is Paddy Power’s current market leader for the Oaks but other leading contenders include Rainbow View, who hated the firm ground in the Guineas, and Midday, who bids to give trainer Henry Cecil a ninth Oaks win.
Sea The Stars is Paddy Power’s favourite for the Derby. But the question is will he stay the additional half a mile? Money has been coming for Rip Van Winkle since Johnny Murtagh announced his preference, while stable companion Fame And Glory is unbeaten in four starts
Crowded House might be the best outsider as he scoped badly after the Dante, but worked well on Monday.
