Saturday’s Lucky 15 Tips: Improving Hannon colt to step up

It would be remiss not to offer a Lucky 15 suggestion on Betfred Epsom Derby Day, would it not? I've looked in detail at five of the contests for our ITV live racing piece, so I'm going to examine the other three, plus one from elsewhere, and create a L15.

We enjoyed a dramatic first day on Friday, and saw an emphatic Oaks winner in Dermot Weld's Ezeliya. Let's take a deep breath and prepare for the big one - Betfred Derby Day.

Horse Racing Odds Saturday

13:25 Epsom - Persica @ 2/1

Richard Hannon three-year-old who's had two sighters in this grade since reappearing, and looks primed to run a huge race to me. Holds an entry in the Hunt Cup at the Royal meeting.

Sean Levey rides.

17:15 Epsom - Dream Harder @ 13/2

The superb Saffie Osborne takes the mount, for trainer Ian Williams. The handicapper's helpfully popped him down a pound despite running well at Chester three weeks ago in this grade.

City Streak did little for the form yesterday unfortunately but off 87, just 2lb higher than his last winning mark, it's not hard to get interested.

17:50 Epsom - Apollo One @ 11/2

A grand sprinting type (6f), and bags of class with it. Many a near-miss at exalted levels, and was second in the grade four weeks ago at HQ. Nearly won a Listed affair at Beverley last September (The Bullet), and can utilise all that know-how to get competitive here.

Richard Kingscote, who knows him so well, takes the mount.

17:08 Doncaster - Ripple Effect @ 4/1

Off to Donny now, and a once-raced Qatar-owned two-year-old in the care of James Ferguson. That outing was a very creditable close-up fifth in a fillies' novice at HQ, and she'll be wiser this time.

Oisin Murphy was on board then, and Danny Muscott takes over. Cracking little race that should prove most informative going forward.

This is an example of a Lucky 15. If you can improve upon my selections (of course you can), then go for it!

The odds can fluctuate between publishing our pieces and race-time. As a guide, a £0.25p each-way Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four won, would return around £395 for your total £7.50 stake.
