Derby Day at Epsom takes centre stage and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors Long Shot tipster.
Epsom Downs

Portsmouth showed fair form last season as a 2-year old but has improved again this year after a gelding operation in the winter. He was an easy winner over this track back in April and then ran a fine race to be 2nd at Goodwood last time out. Everything went wrong for him that day at Goodwood, where he was too keen early in the race and then his jockey made a mid-race mover to take the lead, spending vital energy. Despite this he stuck to the task well and if he can settle a bit better today he looks to be a very well handicapped horse off a mark of 83. Portsmouth rates a 4 star each way Pick.
