Epsom Downs

The annual opportunity for Jump jockeys to test their skills over the famous Derby C&D and few of the runners can be ruled out. Saligo Bay continues to run with credit and ought to be in the shake-up but it may pay to concentrate (appropriately, perhaps) on three hurdlers returning from breaks. Narragansett is unexposed on the Flat, while Balhambar (second choice) is down to a mark he should find workable in this sphere. However, GIVE IT TO ME OJ would be giving that pair a lot more weight over jumps and can score back on the Flat for last year's winning yard.[Richard Russell]
