13:20 Sandown (Class 2) 15f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (20/1 -82%) Give It To Me Oj	20 20/1(-82%)	(1) Give It To Me Oj 20/1, Done well in this first season hurdling, with recent odds-on wins either side of sound fourth in Aintree Grade 1 (not a great race for the level); tough for a 4yo under 12st, giving weight all round. Back in deeper waters and on a tough mark having gone up 15lb for penultimate effort.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +60%) Mythical Moon	8 8/1(+60%)	(6) Mythical Moon 8/1, Yard won this last year; gradually progressive hurdling, last time third on handicap debut at Newbury; this demands more; Tom Cannon looks elsewhere. Won on hurdles debut and consistent since; however, this looks a difficult task.
3	12 3rd (12) (15/2 +58%) Fasol	7.5 15/2(+58%)	(12) Fasol 15/2, Yard has won two of last five runnings; comes here in good form, last time running to form when close second at 1-5; needs to tap into old good Flat form; Cobden jumps ship. French Flat form suggests he's capable of rating higher still over hurdles.
4	2 4th (2) (15/2 +0%) Serious Challenge	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(2) Serious Challenge 15/2, Steadily progressive hurdling, last time beating three of these in fair race at Southwell; this handicap debut demands more but it's still a good mark on smart Flat form; contender. Completed a hat-trick with Southwell success, beating some of these rivals; improving.
5th	13 5th (13) (18/1 +18%) Quantock Hills	18 18/1(+18%)	(13) Quantock Hills 18/1, Not at best last twice but fair mark on earlier juvenile hurdle form; unraced on faster than good to soft; worth considering. Juvenile hurdler whose limitations have been exposed the last twice.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -127%) St Pancras	25 25/1(-127%)	(5) St Pancras 25/1, Decent transition to hurdling, best form when second in Kempton Grade 2 (below-par for the level) two starts back; 1-5 winner since; fair mark and worth considering. Second in a substandard Adonis is flanked by wins; this demands best form yet.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +36%) We're Red And Blue	14 14/1(+36%)	(7) We're Red And Blue 14/1, Possibly made too much use of in top handicap here last time; dual winning novice still wasn't beaten that far and worth considering. Ran respectably in the Imperial Cup but needs improvement in another warm prize.
8th	15 8th (15) (9/1 +10%) Nardaran	9 9/1(+10%)	(15) Nardaran 9/1, Yard has won two of last five runnings; won well at Taunton last time; Cobden looks elsewhere but Sean Bowen a top replacement and, off fair opening mark, is shortlisted. Galloped on strongly at Taunton and could well build on that emphatic win; interesting.
9th	9 9th (9) (5/1 -25%) Sorceleur	5 5/1(-25%)	(9) Sorceleur 5/1, Yard has won two of last five runnings; two from eight over hurdles; latest third behind Serious Challenge at Southwell a sound run and, with a 10lb pull now, is respected. Generally consistent; ties in with some of these rivals on last two efforts; solid.
10th	8 10th (8) (12/1 -71%) Kientzheim	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Kientzheim 12/1, Yard has won two of last nine runnings; too free last twice after maiden hurdle win in December, last time late mistakes no help either; needs more but likely better pace here may help. Hasn't lived up to expectations the last twice but is nicely bred and not written off.
11th	4 11th (4) (25/1 -108%) Hms President	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Hms President 25/1, Yard won this last year; hasn't yet transferred his good Flat form to hurdles, late mistake costly at Warwick latest; this big-field handicap may help him settle better; each-way claims. Useful but is a high-mileage contender, having raced 41 times (Flat/hurdles).
12th	11 12th (11) (17/2 +29%) John Barbour	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(11) John Barbour 17/2, Steadily progressive in three runs hurdling, last time second to stablemate Serious Challenge at Southwell; fair opening mark and claims though this big-field handicap is a different test. Solid operator; ties in with some of these opponents on latest effort; not ruled out.
13th	3 13th (3) (17/2 +29%) Wolf Moon	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(3) Wolf Moon 17/2, Quickly made up into fairly useful novice, last time scrambling home at Huntingdon; this demands more but lightly raced and could show some improvement. All out at Huntingdon last time but has a smart pedigree and may do better still.
14th	14 14th (14) (25/1 +38%) Marche D'aligre	25 25/1(+38%)	(14) Marche D'aligre 25/1, Bright start hurdling hasn't been sustained in last two runs, latest 2-5 second at Ludlow; may well need slower ground; others preferred. Has failed to back up his Chepstow Grade 2 effort; something to prove.

13:20 Sandown (Class 2) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

KIENTZHEIM's latest effort at Southwell was disappointing on the face of it, with the mare only able to finish fourth after some less than fluent jumping. However, that run was needed to qualify her for this valuable prize and a mark of 120 doesn't appear to be unduly harsh. Wolf Moon caught the eye behind the highly-touted Palladium at Huntingdon before winning both subsequent outings, at Southwell and back at Huntingdon. He has to enter the reckoning along with St Pancras and Marche D'aligre.

Although he's been deserted by Harry Cobden, NARDARAN looks interesting off bottom weight. Serious Challenge is second pick.

1	1 1st (1) (11/1 +8%) Mark Of Gold	11 11/1(+8%)	(1) Mark Of Gold 11/1, Quickly made up into a useful novice albeit a bit below-par when 33-1 for Grade 1 latest; back in calmer waters now and well worth considering. Solid most of this term; put firmly in his place in Grade 1s; this also needs career best.
2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 +13%) Mahons Glory	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Mahons Glory 14/1, Comes here in fine form after front-running wins in two small-field handicaps; return to 2m4f shouldn't be an issue but more on his plate this time. New stable for last two starts and won them both, from the front in small-field handicaps.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +29%) Inedit Star	10 10/1(+29%)	(7) Inedit Star 10/1, Nought from six over fences but shaped as if well worth another go at 2m4f when running-on third in top 2m Aintree contest last time and not discounted here. Rallying 3rd under Tom Broughton at Aintree (2m) latest; may be worth a second go at 2m4f.
4	8 4th (8) (10/3 +39%) Eyed	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(8) Eyed 10/3, Gradually progressive novice who has proved well suited by 3m most recently, so this drop back in trip is a possible issue; good run at Ayr last time and form contender if he does cope. Highly progressive for new yard this term; back down in trip but still a leading contender.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -150%) Bad	20 20/1(-150%)	(3) Bad 20/1, In the mix on the form of back-to-back 2m4f Kempton wins (especially the latter form) before failing to fire over the National fences latest; not discounted. Won twice over an extended 2m4f at Kempton before pulled up over the big fences at Aintree.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +14%) Pic Roc	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Pic Roc 12/1, Return to this trip ought not be an issue; cheekpieces first time; out of sorts run at Ayr (made mistakes) latest is a definite negative. Major downturn at the big Cheltenham and Ayr meetings last two starts; headgear enlisted.
7th	4 7th (4) (8/1 -60%) Riskintheground	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Riskintheground 8/1, In great form after wins in valuable races at Ayr and Cheltenham (Grade 2 handicap) this month; still competitively weighted too but this will be third run in just 16 days. Surged back to form, never better, for a quickfire double (Ayr and Cheltenham) recently.
8th	2 8th (2) (15/2 -50%) Insurrection	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(2) Insurrection 15/2, Improved form when winning at Musselburgh two starts back and then ran creditably at Cheltenham festival (hampered); still unexposed over fences; claims. Emphatic win at Musselburgh; 25-1, not disgraced in mid-division at Cheltenham Festival.
9th	9 9th (9) (2/1 +56%) Classic Anthem	2 2/1(+56%)	(9) Classic Anthem 2/1, Best form so far chasing with decisive C&D success last time; also won over hurdles here; up 5lb since last time but probably has more to come; much respected. 5lb rise may underestimate C&D win and he could also be open to further improvement.

13:50 Sandown (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

RISKINTHEGROUND is 12lb higher than a brace of victories in a pair of valuable contests at Ayr and Cheltenham. The eight-year-old has been a huge assistance for his trainer's effort to land his first title and has the opportunity to land one more blow. Eyed continues to progress nicely over fences and an aggressive ride dropped in trip would give him every chance. Bad didn't seem to relish the Aintree fences in the Topham and the return to a right-handed track may well be in his favour.

Classic Anthem and Riskintheground are big dangers but EYED might trump them both given the steady progress he's been making.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/6 +44%) Gaelic Warrior	0.833333 5/6(+44%)	(3) Gaelic Warrior 5/6, Dual Gr 1-winning novice last season (2m and 2m3f) and back to best when winning 3m1f Gr 1 at Aintree last time; the one to beat on that form; his versatility is a plus. Won the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree recently; he's the one to beat on that form.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 +11%) Appreciate It	16 16/1(+11%)	(1) Appreciate It 16/1, Had a somewhat chequered career but Thurles win in January was good form and showed the 11yo was still pretty smart; brought down latest; needs more even on that Thurles form. 11yo who ended long losing run in Thurles Grade 2 in January; others have stronger claims.
3	5 3rd (5) (28/1 +30%) Ga Law	28 28/1(+30%)	(5) Ga Law 28/1, Smart performer but vulnerable even if returning to his best (out of sorts lately, last time back chasing); change of headgear. Even on his best form he has something to find and he's been pulled up the last twice.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -33%) Gentleman De Mee	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Gentleman De Mee 8/1, Right back to form when winning the Topham (2m5f) at Aintree last time for first win at beyond 2m; this demands a bit more; most wins have been left-handed; place contender. Back on song with Topham Handicap win off big weight and he could be in the mix.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 +31%) Boombawn	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Boombawn 11/1, Reliable novice who ran a career-best when fourth in near 2m4f Grade 1 at Aintree last time; more needed pitched into open company now. Highly creditable fourth in Grade 1 novice at Aintree; needs another career best today.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -22%) Classic Getaway	22 22/1(-22%)	(2) Classic Getaway 22/1, Smart performer but bit to find in this company on balance of recent form; trip/ground are okay. Fair sixth off lofty mark at Cheltenham recently but suspicion he'll be vulnerable today.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -56%) Hitman	28 28/1(-56%)	(9) Hitman 28/1, Probably failed to stay in Grand National last time; hard to win with and though some more place money (third in this last year) isn't that improbable, is an unlikely winner. Hard to win with nowadays but frequently runs very well in defeat; each-way contender.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/4 -10%) Pic D'orhy	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(4) Pic D'orhy 11/4, Triple Gr 1 winner, last time when again making all to win Ascot contest for second year running; 10yo likely to make a bold bid from the front. Posted third Grade 1 win in the Ascot Chase in February; trainer has good record in race.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (18/1 +0%) Le Patron	18 18/1(+0%)	(8) Le Patron 18/1, Won 2m Gr 1 novice here last season; similarly smart form in Newbury handicap (2m3f) in November; more needed here and less good since; cheekpieces/tongue tie go on. Won Grade 1 novice here in December 2023 but needs to be better than ever today.

14:25 Sandown (Class 1) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

GAELIC WARRIOR bounced right back to his very best in the Bowl at Aintree when proving too strong for Grey Dawning under a fine ride from Patrick Mullins. The demands of Sandown can really play to his strengths and he leads a formidable team for Willie Mullins. Gentleman De Mee produced a classy display to land the Topham, despite his jumping not being particularly fluent, although his stable companion Appreciate It may pose a stronger threat after being brought down in the Grand National when just beginning to creep into contention. Pic D'Orhy missed Aintree for a contest that appears tailor-made for him, but Dan Skelton's sole runner Boombawn has something to find, even after a career best at Aintree.

Having returned to his best with a win in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree this month, GAELIC WARRIOR is taken to follow up.

1	1 1st (1) (8/1 0%) Blueking D'oroux	8 8/1(0%)	(1) Blueking D'oroux 8/1, Yard won this in 2022 and 2023; ran to form when fourth in this last year; bit to find on balance of this season's form and was below-par last time. Well beaten last time but the return to better ground is a likely plus; in with a chance.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +27%) Salver	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(5) Salver 11/2, Could do with settling better, having again raced freely when bit below-par latest; previous career-best second at Windsor (led) entitles him to respect. Running creditably this season; could be in the mix if handling the forecast good ground.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/4 -20%) Kitzbuhel	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(4) Kitzbuhel 9/4, Yard won this last year; bright start to Irish career with two 2m wins before well held fifth upped to 3m at Aintree (too keen); unexposed and this trip may suit much better; claims. Only fifth in Liverpool Hurdle but could benefit from hood and shorter trip; major claims.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 -9%) Lucky Place	3 3/1(-9%)	(3) Lucky Place 3/1, Very possibly not stay when well beaten in Stayers' Hurdle upped to 3m at Cheltenham; progressing at around 2m4f with two Gr 2 wins previously; much respected. Soundly beaten in Stayers' Hurdle but could be a leading player back down in trip/grade.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +54%) Take No Chances	3 3/1(+54%)	(6) Take No Chances 3/1, Gradually progressive mare whose been third in 2m4f Gr 1s at Cheltenham (mares' hurdle) and Aintree last twice; bit more needed. Third in Grade 1 mares' hurdles the last twice; needs a career-best now taking on males.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -10%) Gwennie May Boy	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Gwennie May Boy 22/1, Clear career-best when winning near 3m Gr 2 at Haydock in February; shorter trip and faster ground unknown factors now and failed to fire at Aintree (good) last time. Won Grade 2 at Haydock in February but tailed off in recent Grade 1 at Aintree.

15:00 Sandown (Class 1) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Kitzbuhel is likely to have his supporters but considering he was sent off favourite in Grade 1 company at the Grand National meeting, it was an underwhelming performance to only finish fifth. Willie Mullins will be hoping the first-time hood ekes out more from his five-year-old, but LUCKY PLACE looks the way to go. Nicky Henderson's gelding is a dual Grade 2 winner and may not have appreciated the step up in trip when only seventh in the Stayers' Hurdle. Take No Chances has acquitted herself well behind Lossiemouth the last twice and is another to note.

The drop back in trip and possible settling effect of the first-time hood could be positives for the lightly raced 5yo KITZBUHEL.

1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +31%) Il Etait Temps	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(4) Il Etait Temps 9/2, Winner of four G1s; improved again when winning Barberstown Castle Novice Chase (Grade 1) at Punchestown over 2m by 2 1/4l last time; bit to find Absent for nearly a year but trained by a genius and he's proven at this level.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/15 +7%) Jonbon	0.533333 8/15(+7%)	(5) Jonbon 8/15, Winner of 10 G1s; won this in 2023 and 2024; winning Melling Chase (Grade 1) at Aintree over 2m4f by 3 1/4l last time; the pick on balance of form Except for his Champion Chase blunder he's looked as brilliant as ever this season.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 -22%) Energumene	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(2) Energumene 11/2, Winner of six G1s; pulled up in Queen Mother Champion Chase (Grade 1) over 2m at Cheltenham latest; value selection based on balance of form Former main man in this division but his powers would appear to be on the wane.
4	1 4th (1) (14/1 +13%) Edwardstone	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Edwardstone 14/1, Winner of three G1s; below par comfortably held in Game Spirit Chase (Grade 2) over 2m at Newbury last time; usually consistent; bit to find Jonbon has his number and he disappointed last time in the Game Spirit at Newbury.
5th	7 5th (7) (50/1 -79%) Unexpected Party	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) Unexpected Party 50/1, Raced freely second beaten 1 1/2l in Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Challenge Cup (Handicap Chase) over 2m at Cheltenham latest; hard to recommend Jonbon comfortably has his measure on their previous clashes; lots to find on the figures.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 +0%) Master Chewy	22 22/1(+0%)	(6) Master Chewy 22/1, Looked to want further comfortably held in Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time; usually consistent; needs to improve A good bet to give his running but he's relying on some of these being off their game.
7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 -20%) Harper's Brook	150 150/1(-20%)	(3) Harper's Brook 150/1, Pulled up in Silver Trophy Handicap Chase (Grade 2) over 2m5f at Cheltenham latest; down in trip; all to do This looks far too tough a task for one who is essentially a smart handicapper.

15:35 Sandown (Class 1) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

JONBON is bidding for a third straight Celebration Chase and may have an easier task this time around, as he faced a 175-rated El Fabiolo in last year's renewal. The 10-time Grade 1 winner made a costly mistake in the Champion Chase before putting that well behind him to retain his crown in the Melling Chase at Aintree. He is tough to oppose, with his main threat possibly Il Etait Temps, who has struck at the top level in three of his last four starts but arrives on the back of a year-long absence. Of the remainder, Unexpected Party makes the most appeal.

A fit and fresh Il Etait Temps could make it interesting but he and the remainder are reliant upon JONBON fluffing his lines.

1	10 1st (10) (9/2 +44%) Resplendent Grey	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(10) Resplendent Grey 9/2, Stayed on well from most unpromising position upped to this trip at Cheltenham latest; cheekpieces now may help; fair mark and still has untapped potential as a stayer; interesting. Laboured badly out the back on his way to 4th in the 3m6f NH Chase; cheekpieces go on.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +44%) Lombron	10 10/1(+44%)	(8) Lombron 10/1, Improved again when winning a beginners' chase at Clonmel; this is altogether harder and 6yo's stamina is unproven beyond 2m4f; unexposed but others still preferred. 6yo with time on his side; best form last time out when winning a 2m4f beginners chase.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +33%) High Class Hero	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(5) High Class Hero 10/3, Beaten at 2-13 latest; good novice hurdler who'd made decent transition to fences earlier this season; unexposed and Townend's pick over host of stablemates; should stay; claims. Novice but he's been favourite for this handicap debut and Townend takes the ride.
4	13 4th (13) (22/1 +33%) Spanish Harlem	22 22/1(+33%)	(13) Spanish Harlem 22/1, Carried out in Scottish Grand National over 4m at Ayr latest, having run well when sixth in 2024 version of that race; bit to prove on this term's form. 9-1 when carried out in the recent Scottish National but 6lb out of the handicap this time.
5th	1 5th (1) (14/1 -65%) Grangeclare West	14 14/1(-65%)	(1) Grangeclare West 14/1, Bit in-and-out but high-class on his day, as when excellent third in Grand National (bad mistake last) last time; big player up 5lb if able to replicate that form three weeks on. Second in the Irish Gold Cup and excellent third in the Grand National; up another 5lb.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 +30%) Monbeg Genius	28 28/1(+30%)	(7) Monbeg Genius 28/1, Back on track when winning over 3m at Uttoxeter on penultimate start; pulled up in Grand National latest, when never really going; slower ground probably better; others preferred. Did not spark in the Grand National and good ground would give him more to prove.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +36%) Victtorino	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Victtorino 16/1, Flopped latest; each-way claims on previous good 3m wins at his beloved Ascot while he's shaped as if he'll stay beyond 3m2f (furthest he's tried). 4-5 over 3m at right-handed Ascot and finished strongly over 3m2f at Newbury in November.
8th	14 8th (14) (50/1 -213%) Collectors Item	50 50/1(-213%)	(14) Collectors Item 50/1, Pulled up at Newcastle latest; off a short break now; bit in-and-out but place possibilities on midwinter efforts, including C&D second, despite being out of the weights here. C&D second before his Wincanton 3m3f win; Eider flop and he's now 7lb out of the handicap.
9th	2 9th (2) (13/2 +35%) Minella Cocooner	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(2) Minella Cocooner 13/2, Won this last year off 4lb lower than today; fine run when seventh in the National latest, fading late on (saddle slipped too); return to shorter trip now can help; claims. Won this last year off 4lb lower; big shout if his Aintree run has not taken it out of him.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (8/1 -23%) Dancing City	8 8/1(-23%)	(4) Dancing City 8/1, Jumping frailties have emerged lately and drying ground an unknown; very good staying novice hurdler who'd made good transition to fences previously; should stay; respected. Three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler; reverses in Cheltenham and Aintree Grade 1s.
18	18 \|F\| (18) (33/1 -32%) Klarc Kent	33 33/1(-32%)	(18) Klarc Kent 33/1, Placed in last two Scottish Nationals, latterly when second just a fortnight ago; out of the weights here and this a quick turnaround, so bit to prove. Fourth and second in the last two Scottish Nationals; 12lb out of the handicap today.
10th	20 10th (20) (66/1 -100%) Knockanore	66 66/1(-100%)	(20) Knockanore 66/1, Below-par in Midlands National latest; better judged on previous clearcut win in 4m1f Eider at Newcastle; more needed even on that effort from well out of the weights here. Runaway winner of the Eider but well beaten in Midlands National; 15lb out of the handicap.
11th	11 11th (11) (18/1 +18%) O'moore Park	18 18/1(+18%)	(11) O'moore Park 18/1, Two falls earlier on but back on track with two good placed efforts over around 2m4f at Cheltenham; stamina unproven beyond 2m6f; each-way claims if coping with this different test. Rather a free-going sort but he's been staying on admirably at the finish of late at 2m4f.
12th	15 12th (15) (40/1 -43%) Chosen Witness	40 40/1(-43%)	(15) Chosen Witness 40/1, Pulled up in Scottish National over 4m at Ayr latest; stamina unproven; plenty prove on the evidence of four-race chase career thus far. Pulled up when 12-1 for the Scottish National on latest outing; 7lb out of the handicap.
13th	12 13th (12) (14/1 +65%) Goshen	14 14/1(+65%)	(12) Goshen 14/1, Back in decent form returned to fences last two times; more needed now and doubts about his still sometimes stick jumping and stamina (untried beyond 3m). 5lb out of handicap; stuck on over 3m lately as if next reinvention could be as a stayer.
19	19 \|PU\| (19) (16/1 -14%) Hoe Joly Smoke	16 16/1(-14%)	(19) Hoe Joly Smoke 16/1, Well out of the weights; two from four over fences, both over 3m here, when shaping as if this step up in trip may well suit; needs more for the Skeltons but far from discounted. Two 3m chase wins here; could have plenty more to give but he's 12lb out of the handicap.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (20/1 +29%) Olympic Man	20 20/1(+29%)	(9) Olympic Man 20/1, Winning novice whose jumping (and possibly his stamina) let him down in Scottish National latest; this ground an unknown too; hood first time; bit to find. Favourite for Scottish National but didn't settle in front and subsided into 7th; hood now.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (22/1 -38%) King's Threshold	22 22/1(-38%)	(16) King's Threshold 22/1, Comes here in great form after a hat-trick at 2m4f-3m but this altogether tougher from out of the weights; stamina untested beyond 3m; others preferred. Won his last three, smoothly on last two; 8lb out of handicap, on top of latest 7lb rise.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (33/1 -65%) Threeunderthrufive	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Threeunderthrufive 33/1, Claims on best form and likely to stay this far, albeit down the field in this last year; pulled up in Grand National latest and that effort counts as a negative here. This race last year was not one of his good efforts; neither was Grand National latest.

16:10 Sandown (Class 1) 28f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Willie Mullins seems to be throwing everything at this in his bid to retain his title and the classy DANCING CITY could be the one to get him over the line. A three-time Grade 1 winner over hurdles last year, the eight-year-old still looked to be going well when falling at Aintree and going up in trip looks like a plus when it comes to his jumping. Touched off in a Grade 3 at Thurles in March, High Class Hero is another with the potential for improvement over further, while Grangeclare West arrives on the back of a cracking third in the Grand National. A winner on his last two Sandown starts over 3m, Hoe Joly Smoke seems the best of the British, along with Resplendent Grey and Transmission.

The Grand National distance found MINELLA COCOONER out three weeks ago but his career peak came when winning this race last year.

16:45 Sandown (Class 2) 19f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +9%) Jump Allen	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Jump Allen 5/1, Progressive novice who ran another good race when second to unexposed winner upped to 3m latest; may well have more to come and shortlisted. Won handicap debut at Naas (2m3f) and good second of five at Ayr (3m); promising.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/3 +39%) Mostly Sunny	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(9) Mostly Sunny 10/3, Back in top form with decisive win at Plumpton (2m4f, good) just five days ago; big chance under a penalty if able to run to the same level again now. 6lb penalty but back in serious calculations after winning well at Plumpton on Monday.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -13%) King Alexander	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) King Alexander 18/1, Below-par and down the field in top handicaps last twice; trip/ground okay here and each-way shout on pick of his previous form. Safely held in two major handicaps since comfortable win at Fairyhouse (3m) on yard debut.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +43%) Ike Sport	4 4/1(+43%)	(7) Ike Sport 4/1, Solid effort when fifth in very competitive race at Aintree last time; that augurs well as he bids to repeat last year's decisive win in this; 4lb higher mark is fair; claims Won this last year in good style off 4lb lower; never-nearer fifth of 20 at Aintree latest.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 -175%) Peacenik	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) Peacenik 33/1, Heavy ground a possible excuse last time; winning novice is up in trip on faster ground now and it needs to spark a bit of improvement. This new trip for handicap debut is interesting, notwithstanding the very different ground.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 -60%) Got Grey	16 16/1(-60%)	(10) Got Grey 16/1, Looked ready for another go at this sort of trip when finishing well in second at Haydock (2m) last week; a contender from 3lb 'wrong' after that solid effort. Finished strongly from the rear for second of seven at Haydock (1m7f, good) one week ago.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 +17%) Electric Mason	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Electric Mason 10/1, Quite useful winning novice for whom trip/ground are fine; needs a bit more even if refinding best form. Cut little ice on handicap debut at Cheltenham Festival but may still have potential.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -177%) Push The Button	18 18/1(-177%)	(3) Push The Button 18/1, Creditable runs at Cheltenham (2m4f) and Aintree (3m) last twice; shade more needed to quite win this. Creditable sixth in big-field handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f) and Aintree (3m) festivals.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 -50%) Dr Eggman	12 12/1(-50%)	(4) Dr Eggman 12/1, In-form novice, last time second at Cheltenham (led and bit too free); needs more to play a leading role here. Won Limerick maiden; 2nd in Cheltenham novice; this handicap debut demands more from him.
10th	1 10th (1) (9/2 +31%) Bunting	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Bunting 9/2, Too free and looked a non-stayer at 2m5f two starts back; possibilities on latest close sixth in Scottish Champion Hurdle, if more amenable to restraint back up in trip now. Free-going sort; questions over the trip and how well handicapped he is, but Townend rides.

16:45 Sandown (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

If Dan Skelton is still within touching distance of the trainers' title by the finale, he may have one more ace in the pack in MOSTLY SUNNY. An impressive winner at Plumpton on Monday, the six-year-old is turned out again quickly under a 6lb penalty, which may not be enough to prevent the double. Willie Mullins' Bunting hasn't shown much this season, but he hinted at a return to form with a respectable effort in the Scottish Champion Hurdle, while his stablemate Dr Eggman makes his handicap debut on the back of a creditable second at Cheltenham. Got Grey (Skelton) and Jump Allen (Mullins) are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

The selection JUMP ALLEN (nap), for Willie Mullins, was eclipsed over 3m at Ayr two weeks ago but still looked promising.
