What worked
Hockney was slowly away and met short of room on the turn, then made good late headway up the centre to finish fifth behind Mission Command.
What to watch

19:50 · Epsom
Sun Of Dolly
Spillers Winners Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 5.60
- Winner
- Eyes Front
- Horse result
- 2nd of seven, beaten 1¼ lengths
What worked
Sun Of Dolly made progress from midfield over a furlong out and went second inside the final furlong, but was no match for Eyes Front.
What to watch
She finished well enough to become the winner's nearest challenger without looking likely to catch her.
What we learned / things to watch
The clearest lay wins came from horses that weakened or never entered serious contention. Beggarman and Sun Of Dolly were much closer calls.
Both losing selections raced prominently and responded late. That finishing strength is the main point to watch when checking similar runners.
