TAKE an AMAZING JOURNEY (6.22, nap) in the Betfred ‘Nifty 50’ Handicap at Epsom on Wednesday evening.

The son of Starspangledbanner has looked an improved horse this season since being gelded.

His comeback run in May at Leicester brought a close-up third-placed finish behind the highly rated Jazl.

And on his last outing on the all-weather track at Kempton Park three weeks ago, the charge of Jamie Osborne secured a third career win in just eight starts, seeing off the challenge of Front Line Fury by two and a half lengths.

Up against his elders for the first time today, Saffie Osborne’s mount can repeat the trick.

In North Yorkshire, INDIAN RUN (4.10, nb) is a confident pick in the Weatherbys Global Stallions App Handicap at Thirsk.

The son of Sioux Nation is winless since landing the Group Three Acomb Stakes at York as a juvenile.

But his recent Windsor second was highly encouraging and the Julie Camacho trainee makes most appeal today having been raised just 1lb.

Richard and Peter Fahey’s YAFREH (3.40) has his family’s reputation to uphold in the Weatherbys Epassport Handicap.

Unraced as a juvenile, the three-year-old has progressed nicely in his three starts to date, with two fourth-placed finishes and a second last time out.

He is a full-brother to Listed winner Al Mubhir and half-brother to Yabher so the Frankel colt has a lot to live up to, but he remains unexposed and should continue to improve.

Finally, back at Epsom, keep an eye out for the familiar green and white hoops of Kirsten Rausing, for whom. ALMA LATINA (6.57, trb) contests the Betfred ‘The Classic Bookmaker Handicap.

This three-year-old, trained by Ralph Beckett, took a step forward when getting off the mark at Pontefract on her third start, when comfortably seeing off the challenge of According To Mark.

With further improvement expected now upped in trip to a mile and a half, she holds strong claims on her handicap debut.
