Epidemic had his second victory at Leicester on June 24th and then finished 2nd on July 6th at Pontefract. He did not get much time off when reappearing at Chelmsford on July 20th and won by a comfortable three lengths. From his five starts, since May 31st he has had three wins and two placed efforts. He has moved up by a full stone in the handicap but this should not prevent him from further victories in the months ahead.
