Trainer To Follow - William Muir & Chris Grassick

William Muir & Chris Grassick send a strong team to Epsom on Friday that could see them in and out of the winners enclosure and for that reason are worth following.

One of their best chances of the afternoon comes in the Group One Coronation Cup with last year's winner Pyledriver looking to land back to back renewals.

In the final event of the afternoon they hold another leading chance with the talented Top Secret who has been largely consistent of late and still might not be in the grasp of the handicapper.

Jockey To Follow - William Buick

The maestro that is William Buick has a handful of smart rides on Friday starting in the opening race of the afternoon with Legend Of Xanadu looking to make it back to back wins.

In the World Pool Handicap he sits on the talented Totally Charming for Classic winning trainer George Boughey and then in the G1 Coronation Cup he has a leading chance with Manobo who tackles his first ever Group One on home soil.

Buick once again holds a leading chance with Cap Francais in the Class 2 Handicap over 10f, with the Ian Williams trained animal looking for his second win of the season.

Teaming back up with Charlie Appleby in the Oaks he should be in and around the frame with With The Moonlight who was an emphatic winner last time out.

In the Penultimate race he sits on Oscuala in the Listed Surrey Stakes and the filly will look to bounce back to form having not been seen since February.
