Investec Handicaps - Derby Festival

2.10 Epsom
Investec Mile (handicap) (Class 2) (4YO plus)
Winner £18,693

Pick: Mull Of Kinnoulgh (each/way)

A tricky handicap. MULL OF KINNOLUGH has luckily kept his mark that he ran so well off (97) in the Lincoln and seeing as he got no run last time, the stable seems in decent form and the booking of Seamie Heffernan would give the impression that the yard means business, he gets the vote at an appealing forecast price of 10/1. Tartan Gigha bids for a follow up in this after his win last year and while he’s gone up 5lbs for his latest win he’s had a nice break and he should go well. Jordaura has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and again should go close if getting the breaks, and Vitznau is going to get involved despite his big weight.

3.25 Epsom
Investec Challenge (handicap) (Class 2) (4YO plus)
Winner £24,924

Pick: Tartan Gigha (each/way)

The fact that TARTAN GIGHA has been eased in the weights gives him the vote, as the form of his placed efforts is very strong and he already acts on the course. Thin Red Line trashed a competitive field and while he’s been handicapped accordingly, he’s going to go close here. King’s Destiny is the main threat, as his win last time was most impressive.
