Jockey Hollie Doyle has provided an update on her recovery following surgery to repair a pilon fracture in her left leg. After a successful operation to stabilize the bone with a metal plate, she faces a six-week period of rest before beginning rehabilitation at Oaksey House in Lambourn.
Turning to the Epsom racing card, Doyle expects Aidan O'Brien's Benvenuto Cellini to be a standout performer. The son of Frankel recently won the Chester Vase and could secure a fifth Derby triumph for jockey Ryan Moore. However, wet conditions might pose a challenge for the favorite on the day.
Other notable mentions include Maltese Cross, ridden by Tom Marquand, who faces a difficult draw from stall one. Doyle also eyes potential success for Pacific Mission in the Princess Elizabeth Stakes and Lexington Blitz in the Dash handicap. Rain at Epsom remains a significant factor for several runners in the featured Group races.
