Horse Whispers

Established form over the trip is always one of the most important indicators of a horse's likely future success over a given distance, and it's the route that brings us to Tapis Libre in the 7.45pm at Epsom Downs on Thursday.

It's an Amateur race over 1m 4f, and thats precisely the distance that brings the best out of this 9 year old gelding.

He's won six, and placed in 10, of his 18 starts over this trip on the turf, while is just 3 wins (4 places) from his other 20 starts. What's more, he's won 5 (6 places) from just nine turf outings over this distance when paired with Joanna Mason.

The signs are great that this one can win this race for a third time.

2pts win Tapis Libre at 9/4
