Blatant was very impressive when winning eased down at Leicester last month and, if he improves again, he may well do the business. However, he might not get his own way on the front end and has to give 5lb to ESTATE. Beaten less than two lengths at Bath on his second start, he is 8lb better off, when taking into account jockey claims, with the reopposing winner Commander Straker and may well reverse that form. Silencer is another to consider. WIN: ESTATE

EACH-WAY: Blatant

DID YOU KNOW?

Epsom Downs’ catering team will use the following over the two days of this year’s Cazoo Derby: 1,400 pints of milk, 1,000 punnets of strawberries, 3,000 scones and 60kg of clotted cream!

1947

Older than the Derby by a year, the Oaks was the brainchild of Johnny Burgoyne, a soldier, playwright and politician who married into Lord Derby’s family. Burgoyne had passed on the lease for his Surrey mansion, the Oaks, to his nephew, the 12th Earl of Derby, and persuaded the nobleman to create a race over a mile and a half for three-year-old fillies in response to the St Leger, which had been founded at Doncaster as a two-mile contest for colts of the same age in 1776. The first Oaks, named after the nearby house, took place in 1779. The winner was Lord Derby’s Bridget.
