Chris Wilson turns to Epsom for his big three fancies on Monday.  Watch every single race live on Racing TV, in addition to the live action from Cartmel, Downpatrick and Ballinrobe! 

2.42 Epsom: SUMMER OF LOVE 

A dual winner at Kempton, this Dark Angel filly should soon be winning on the turf judged by her recent spin at Doncaster. 
The four-year-old was a little awkward inside the final furlong but she stuck on to finish third, beaten half a length by the above-average Akkadian Thunder, on just her fifth career start. 
Before that she found a mile too far in the Kensington Palace Stakes, for which she was sent on her way at odds of just 8-1. 
One of the least-exposed fillies in the line-up, should be able to exploit a mark of 89 under the first-time assistance of

3.17 Epsom: CELTIC WARRIOR 

Has thrown in a few stinkers since winning a Kempton maiden in May, but this represents by far his easiest assignment – at least on paper – since then.  
Caught the eye in a nine-furlong Glorious Goodwood handicap, in which he flew home to finish fourth after having received a hefty jolt on the dash to the line. 
That run significantly showed his aptitude for competing on a brisk surface, while the first-time cheekpieces also did their job. 
should thrive over this longer trip on that evidence and is far from weighted out of the equation on a revised mark of 80. Andrew Balding is also in white-hot form. 

5.00 Epsom: MARLAY PARK 

Dream Of Mischief will, of course, have his followers, but a strong argument can be made to suggest can reverse Epsom form last time.  
The four-time course winner was denied by just a short head 10 days ago following a subdued campaign, during which he has slipped markedly down the weights. 
has gone up a 1lb for that last run, but that is hardly doomsday as he is still 2lb lower than when last victorious on the Downs in September 2023. 
Dream Of Mischief is 2lb higher, but he also loses Aidan Keeley’s claim as Jim Crowley receives the leg-up. 
The locally trained six-year-old ticks an awful lot of boxes in first-time cheekpieces.
