(2) Homme Public 10/1, Confirmed promise of his juvenile campaign when third to Celebre d'Allen at Haydock on return. Seemed unsuited by conditions there last time and better expected this time. Engaged 2.05 Wetherby Wed.
7
1st (7) (3/1 +70%) Manucci
3
3/1(+70%)
(7) Manucci 3/1, Flat/hurdles winner for Amanda Perrett but hasn't really come up to expectations for current stable, often proving too free.
5
2nd (5) (12/1 +0%) Seventeen O Four
12
12/1(+0%)
(5) Seventeen O Four 12/1, Dual Flat winner last spring who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in a 2m Chepstow novice over Christmas. Unable to match that level in a brace of handicaps since.
10
3rd (10) (9/1 +44%) Show On The Road
9
9/1(+44%)
(10) Show On The Road 9/1, Bumper/dual 17f hurdles winner for Philip Hobbs and turned in best effort for this yard when second of 16 in return from 13 months off in January. Task is to now back that up.
8
4th (8) (3.5/1 +0%) Global Agreement
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(8) Global Agreement 3.5/1, Another from his yard who has had a productive time of things this winter, typically responding well to pressure for win number of 3 of this spell at Carlisle 10 days ago. 10 lb conditional booked.
1
5th (1) (6.5/1 -18%) Thibault
6.5
6.5/1(-18%)
(1) Thibault 6.5/1, Thrived for new yard last term, landing 2 handicap hurdles and a jumpers bumper. Has continued in good form over hurdles this time round and unseated rider before race could take shape at Lingfield.
6
6th (6) (7/1 +30%) Arthur's Seat
7
7/1(+30%)
(6) Arthur's Seat 7/1, Dual-bumper winner who left Keith Dalgleish for £27,000 and ran to a similar level as on hurdles debut at Fourth over C&D 12 days ago. Didn't look straightforward in the process and now handicapping.
4
7th (4) (3.33/1 -77%) The Grey Falco
3.33
3.33/1(-77%)
(4) The Grey Falco 3.33/1, Made up into a fairly useful novice hurdler last winter and all the better for a breathing operation when landing first handicap at Haydock a month ago. 2 lb rise still leaves him very competitive.
3
8th (3) (100/1 -52%) Moon Over Germany
100
100/1(-52%)
(3) Moon Over Germany 100/1, Very useful hurdler/chaser for Henry De Bromhead but ended time in Ireland below his best and no encouragement to glean from outings for his current stable. Visor now tried.
LTO Selection:
13:10 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Paddy's Poem 11/1, Consistent sort who looked better than ever when scoring at Wincanton in March. Run a fortnight later at the Cheltenham Festival is easily excused but a rare poor effort here on return last month.
6
1st (6) (1.88/1 +6%) Douglas Talking
1.88
1.88/1(+6%)
(6) Douglas Talking 1.88/1, Bumper winner who looked a work in progress over hurdles but is every inch a chaser on looks so no surprise he made a winning start in this sphere at Musselburgh 11 days ago, making all. More to come.
1
2nd (1) (3.5/1 +13%) Torpillo
3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(1) Torpillo 3.5/1, Useful hurdler who made all to score on chase debut at Warwick (2m) over 2 years ago. Failed to build on that after and limited promise back from a lengthy absence at Cheltenham in December.
3
3rd (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Somekindofstar
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(3) Somekindofstar 5.5/1, Positive start to the season when runner-up off this mark at Fontwell (21.6f) and quickly back to form when resuming winning ways at Fakenham last month. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip.
5
4th (5) (8/1 -33%) Darebin
8
8/1(-33%)
(5) Darebin 8/1, Temperamental chaser who bounced back in a change of headgear to win at Fontwell in October. Has run plenty of good races here (3-time C&D winner) but latest fourth wasn't one of them.
4
5th (4) (3/1 +25%) Desque De L'Isle
3
3/1(+25%)
(4) Desque De L'Isle 3/1, Improved when scoring readily at Ffos Lat on return. Consistent rather than progressive since but should be on the premises here.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Love Envoi 0.91/1, Wexford bumper winner who progressed further to complete the hat-trick over hurdles in 7-runner novice at Lingfield (2m) 27 days ago, kept up to work. Back up in trip and will go on improving.
5
2nd (5) (2.25/1 +50%) Speech Bubble
2.25
2.25/1(+50%)
(5) Speech Bubble 2.25/1, Bumper winner who built on her hurdling debut promise when scoring with a bit in hand at Newbury (20.5f) 29 days ago. Open to further improvement and not to be underestimated.
3
3rd (3) (5.5/1 -57%) Nina The Terrier
5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(3) Nina The Terrier 5.5/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in novice company at Newbury in December. Fell there next time but showed no ill-effects when just failing in a messy race won by Haute Estime at Haydock latest.
1
4th (1) (22/1 -83%) Haute Estime
22
22/1(-83%)
(1) Haute Estime 22/1, Resumed her progress to make it 2-3 over hurdles in 6-runner listed event at Haydock (18.9f) 61 days ago, by ½ length from Nina The Terrier. May do better again now stepping up to 2½m.
6
5th (6) (25/1 +24%) Swincombe Fleat
25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Swincombe Fleat 25/1, Bumper winner who left her opening hurdles run behind when successful at Exeter in December, but found Speech Bubble too strong under a penalty at Newbury since. Stiff task.
7
6th (7) (22/1 -57%) La Renommee
22
22/1(-57%)
(7) La Renommee 22/1, A fair winner in France. Sold for €120,000 in November and shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when fourth in a listed event at Doncaster (16.6f) 20 days ago.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Sandown Novices Hurdle (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(4) Rolling Dylan 2/1, Winless since 2018 but proved he retains plenty of ability when runner-up at Aintree on return and in a C&D amateurs event. Heavy ground a possible excuse here since. Bold bid expected on these terms.
3
2nd (3) (1.88/1 -107%) Hogan's Height
1.88
1.88/1(-107%)
(3) Hogan's Height 1.88/1, Stormed to victory in Grand Sefton over National fences in 2019. Not at that level nowadays but capitalised on drop in grade in this headgear when taking hunter at Ludlow last month. Big shout again.
1
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +31%) Ballycross
4.5
4.5/1(+31%)
(1) Ballycross 4.5/1, Veteran chaser who ran poorly at Bangor on return 5 weeks ago, though capable of making his presence felt on last season's form.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Monviel 1.88/1, Half-brother to a couple of winners and was much improved to make it second time lucky over timber at Wincanton 4 weeks ago. Open to further progress so one to consider here.
4
3rd (4) (2.25/1 -50%) Learntalot
2.25
2.25/1(-50%)
(4) Learntalot 2.25/1, Produced a promising first effort amidst greenness when fourth behind Monviel at Wincanton 4 weeks ago, noted doing his best work finish. Will be suited by further in time and is entitled to progress.
6
4th (6) (12/1 +0%) Twilight Glory
12
12/1(+0%)
(6) Twilight Glory 12/1, In the frame on both appearances in points and just a glimmer of promise when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle (6/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) last month. Probably one for later on over further.
3
5th (3) (3.5/1 +61%) Braveheart
3.5
3.5/1(+61%)
(3) Braveheart 3.5/1, Pulled up in sole point but showed ability switched to a bumper when runner-up at Sedgefield (16.8f). Filled same spot in a tongue strap on Taunton hurdle debut but possibly amiss since. Had wind op.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Sandown Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Laskalin 2.75/1, Ex-French winner who arrives in good nick for his current yard, fifth of 15 in handicap chase at Lingfield (28.8f) 25 days ago. Holds good claims eased 1 lb now.
7
1st (7) (1.2/1 +40%) Dr Kananga
1.2
1.2/1(+40%)
(7) Dr Kananga 1.2/1, Point winner who arrives firmly on the up, impressively making all in 26f Chepstow handicap 13 days ago. Has 12 lb hike to overcome but he still looks the one to beat.
4
2nd (4) (2.12/1 +39%) Poppa Poutine
2.12
2.12/1(+39%)
(4) Poppa Poutine 2.12/1, Dual hurdle winner last term who posted good second of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f) 28 days ago, just failing. Still low mileage over fences, so he ought to be competitive again.
1
3rd (1) (3.5/1 -56%) Musical Slave
3.5
3.5/1(-56%)
(1) Musical Slave 3.5/1, Had breathing operation before good third of 9 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f) 37 days ago. Can give another good account if his jumping holds up.
3
4th (3) (10/1 +29%) Potters Legend
10
10/1(+29%)
(3) Potters Legend 10/1, Veteran comes her in decent nick, visored when fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (26.3f) 47 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Not the best of jumpers but still needs considering.
LTO Selection:
16:05 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(7) Robin Des Smoke 22/1, Winning pointer at fifth attempt. No better than mid-field in a couple of bumpers but stepped up markedly on hurdling debut when runner-up in a novice at Plumpton. Off 11 months since.
8
1st (8) (18/1 -29%) Lettie Lutz
18
18/1(-29%)
(8) Lettie Lutz 18/1, modest form at best to date over hurdles and arrives on the back of a rather dismal display at Exeter, so he's firmly up against it in this grade of handicap.
2
2nd (2) (9/1 +10%) Amenon
9
9/1(+10%)
(2) Amenon 9/1, Fair maiden hurdler in France (fairly useful over fences). Better effort for new yard when second of 4 at Doncaster 69 days ago, but he seems rather fragile based on his profile.
1
3rd (1) (7/1 -27%) Wicked West
7
7/1(-27%)
(1) Wicked West 7/1, Improved model for new stable, winning maiden/novice events last year. Placed last 3 starts and, while he has little in hand, he should give another good account.
4
4th (4) (1.5/1 +45%) Essential Jaco
1.5
1.5/1(+45%)
(4) Essential Jaco 1.5/1, Easily landed a novice at Lingfield on Rules debut, then bumped into a couple of good prospects on both subsequent outings. Back up in trip, he's still very much one to take seriously.
6
5th (6) (2.5/1 -33%) Contemplatemyfaith
2.5
2.5/1(-33%)
(6) Contemplatemyfaith 2.5/1, Well-bred individual who opened his account at the third attempt over hurdles at Bangor last month. That form received a huge boost at the weekend, so he may have been let in lightly.
5
6th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Grangeclare Glory
7.5
7.5/1(+6%)
(5) Grangeclare Glory 7.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who arrives on te back of a respectable third at Doncaster 19 days ago. Runner-up has boosted that form since, and blinkers could extract some improvement.
9
|PU| (9) (25/1 +24%) Colonial Empire
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Colonial Empire 25/1, Bumper winner who has offered a glimmer of promise over hurdles to date. Could do better now handicapping after a break, so not completely discounted.
3
|PU| (3) (28/1 -75%) Moonlight Flit
28
28/1(-75%)
(3) Moonlight Flit 28/1, Runner-up in Warwick novice on his hurdling bow before falling last (still close up) in 20f Ffos Las novice. Latest run was disappointing but too soon to write him off now trying handicaps.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
