17:40 Sandown Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A chance is taken with SEVEN ACES, who comes from a stable that know how to ready one, while her half-brother Clarendon House won on debut himself. Flora Of Bermuda cost 340,000 pounds at a recent breeze-up sale and she must enter calculations, along with Graceful Thunder for the in-form George Boughey team. Miss Mach One shaped with promise on her racecourse bow at Newmarket and she is entitled to improve.

Mostly newcomers, and the market should provide further clues, but George Boughey's GRACEFUL THUNDER is bred to be sharp, and makes plenty of appeal on paper. Andrew Balding's Flora of Bermuda cost a pretty packet when re-sold as a 2-y-o and has to be highly respected, along with once-raced Miss Mach One.

The form standard is set by MISS MACH ONE, while Line Of Fire is open to improvement. A few of the newcomers are interesting.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The one with the potential to improve most for the step up in trip could be ROOST, whose most recent second at Doncaster was a highly-encouraging effort on his handicap debut. Enochdhu won well at Windsor last time out and must be respected, along with Cinnodin, who has won two of his last three starts and is proven over the distance.

ROOST should have more to offer over this sort of trip and could come home in front in first-time blinkers. It's a trappy contest though and cases can be made for most of the others, with Windsor-winner Enochdhu selected for the forecast.

Doncaster runner-up ROOST (nap) could well go one better. Cinnodin and Enochdhu are progressing nicely.

18:45 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The John and Thady Gosden stable have won three of the last four renewals of this contest and they could have another smart sort on their hands in the shape of SLIPOFTHEPEN. A comfortable winner of both starts at Kempton, the three-year-old is well related and should have too much for Grey's Monument, who is far better than what he showed in the Greenham on his return. Finn's Charm wasn't for catching at Musselburgh last month and he could be dangerous once more if let loose on the lead.

SLIPOFTHEPEN outclassed the opposition in a brace of 1m novice events at Kempton 4 months apart and his Group 1 entries confirm the regard he's held in. He can remain unbeaten switched to turf, though Finn's Charm is a streetwise opponent who will be dangerous if getting into a nice rhythm at the head of affairs.

Highly promising SLIPOFTHEPEN is taken to come with a telling swoop and collar likely front-runner Finn's Charm late on.

This looks an interesting contest but it may be best to side with TAJAWAL, who gets weight from all bar one of his rivals. Only beaten a length when third at Wolverhampton, despite hanging badly, he sports a first-time visor now which should keep him on the straight and narrow. Artistic Star might prove the biggest danger on his first start of the season after winning at Nottingham last October, while Royal Symbol returns form a very long absence for Charlie Appleby and has to give a stone or more to all of these.

A very interesting novice featuring 4 previous winners. ARTISTIC STAR looked a good prospect when getting the job done at the first attempt at Nottingham in October and, given his smart pedigree, he's open to oodles of improvement and edges the vote. Royal Symbol hasn't been seen for 17 months, but his debut win couldn't have worked out any better, while Torito and Clever Relation are others with plenty of potential to improve.

Trappy. TAJAWAL must be smart to have run so well in a strong maiden at Wolverhampton despite lacking focus in the closing stages.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

This might get tactical and there is every chance that William Buick may have to make the running on Blue Universe, who has raced prominently in the past. If that does happen, GOD OF FIRE could try to sit on his shoulder throughout and, if he can then quicken up as he did to win his maiden in January, he may come out on top. If Not Now ran on late over further in a better race at Haydock but he may get tapped for pace if this turns into a sprint.

Preference is for BLUE UNIVERSE, who showed a good attitude when opening his account at Wolverhampton last month and remains low mileage. Both his rivals are open to improvement in a tight contest, with God of Fire narrowly preferred for the forecast spot.

All three colts are open to further progress. The percentage call goes to IF NOT NOW, who holds a Group 1 entry.

20:20 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

New Heights won this last year and has to be considered again, though she races off 8lb higher and hasn't been at her best in two starts this season on the all-weather. She can still go close as can Arenas Del Tiempo, who is finally back down to the same mark as her last success at Epsom in August 2021. That said, MOUNTAIN QUEEN is the one in good form after running on over a mile when second two starts ago and she wasn't disgraced over 1m2f last time

GERT LUSH should be all the sharper for her recent Bath reappearance and the booking of William Buick catches the eye so she's the suggestion. Last year's winner New Heights hasn't fired in 2 AW outings this spring but it could be a different story back here and she's feared most ahead of Tom Dascombe's Mountain Queen.

While Mountain Queen is the only runner arriving here on the back of a competitive performance, a chance is taken on GERT LUSH.

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.
