But I think there are a few reasons to look elsewhere for the winner. First up, this is a rise in grade – from C6 to C5 – and he’s also up 6lbs for the last of those wins. Those recent victories also came on the AW and he’s only 1-21 on the grass, with that sole turf win also coming on soft ground. We’ll have plenty of others running for us – including last year’s winner of the race Bobacious, who is back rated 2lbs lower too. *Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).* * * * ## **Worth Knowing Today – Horse Racing Stats and Fun Facts** - Trainer Kevin Ryan is 0-45 with his 4+yolds at Thirsk - Trainer Michael Wigham is 4-7 (57%) with his recent runners - 1:20 Worcester – James Bowen has ridden the last two winners - 5:50 Epsom – The last 6 winners between stalls 3-8 - 6:22 Epsom – 3 of the last 4 from stall 1 - 8:42 Epsom – 4 of the last 7 winners from stall 3 * * * ## **Today’s Horse Racing Longest Travellers** **Sir William**\ Charlie Johnston\ Epsom 18:57\ 255 miles **Shemiyla Star**\ Charlie Johnston\ Epsom 17:50\ 255 miles **Newport**\ Iain Jardine\ Worcester 15:55\ 241 miles **Lord d’Or**\ Andrew Balding\ Thirsk 14:08\ 239 miles **Havana Rum**\ Richard & Peter Fahey\ Epsom 18:22\ 232 miles **Sporting Light**\ Richard & Peter Fahey\ Epsom 20:42\ 232 miles **Sir Garfield**\ John & Sean Quinn\ Epsom 18:22\ 231 miles ## **Horses Running Today That WON The Same Race Last Year *(UK & Ireland)*** - **1:50 Worcester: KING OF THE STORY** - **2:40 Thirsk: MRS TRUMP** - **5:20 Epsom: BOBACIOUS** ![](https://media.readhorseracing.com/readhorseracing/2026/06/Midnite-Banner.jpg) * * * ## **FROMTHESTABLES – Get Top Daily Info Direct From The BEST Trainers** You can receive top Trainer Info Direct To Your Inboxes….EVERY MORNING (Daily FREE Quote Below) **Take a Look For Yourself –**[**JOIN FTS FOR JUST £1 HERE**](https://www.fromthestables.com/14daysfree/quotes/50/) **with PROMO CODE** ***‘POUNDTRIAL’*** ### **Today’s FREE QUOTE: Wednesday 1st July 2026** **💬** #### **7:32 Epsom: STINTINO SUNSET – (9/1 [Midnite](https://affiliate.midnite.com/C.ashx?btag=a_3358b_322c_&affid=924&siteid=3358&adid=322&c=))** *“Stintino Sunset remains in good form.
