REVENANT TO BE A EPSOM HIT

-

The Revenant already features in the ante-post market for next year’s Derby and he gets an earlier sighter of the Epsom track in the totepool Conditions Stakes tomorrow.

A 33-1 chance for the 12-furlong Classic, there is obviously plenty of water still to go under the bridge before next June’s feature, but Hugo Palmer has made no secret of his high expectatio­ns for this colt.

He will be having just his second start after posting an impressive effort at the first attempt at Haydock in September, overcoming a slow start to show a fine turn of pace at the business end.

That win came over a mile and he sticks at that trip here, although middle distances will surely show him in the best possible light next term. Cut in the ground should provide few issues and connection­s would surely be thrilled if he can handle the unique track at this early stage.

Swiss Storm drops in company as he makes his belated return to action in the Bet toteexacta At betfred.com Handicap.

David Elsworth’s charge was billed as a possible Classic contender last year after making all for an impressive success at Newbury on his second start.

His fitness must be taken on trust, but this could be just the boost Swiss Storm needs.

Kharbetati­on seemed to be getting back on the right track when third last time out and is worth sticking with in the Bet totequadpo­t At betfred.com Handicap.

London Glory sprang a minor surprise at Hamilton and can follow up in the Robert Purvis Plant Hire Handicap at Musselburg­h.
