(8) Enchanting 11/1, Foaled February 23. Blue Point filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Bolt Action. Dam maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to very smart 10.7f-1½m winner Order of Australia.

Last on his recent Yarmouth debut; major improvement needed.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Sandown Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

KINGSWOOD FLYER seemed to be getting the hang of things late on when running on for third on debut at Leicester and, with improvement expected, he can get off the mark now. That may be at the main expense of newcomer Enchanting, who is a half-sister to Bolt Action, and Notta Nother. Markakol cost a pretty penny at the sales and cannot be ruled out either.

KINGSWOOD FLYER produced a promising first effort when third at Leicester, especially as he spent more than half of the race poorly placed on the stand rail, and he can put that experience to good use up against well-connected newcomers Markakol and Enchanting.

A few of these have already shown ability, such as KINGSWOOD FLYER who is likely to have come on from his promising Leicester debut.

1st (1) Lil Guff (3/1 +14%)
Lil Guff

3
3/1(+14%)
(1) Lil Guff 3/1, Resumed winning ways without much fuss in 3-runner handicap (6/4) at Bath (5f, firm) 7 days ago, driven out. Much respected under 5 lb penalty.
Dictated slow early pace when winning at Bath last week (3 ran); more needed under penalty.

2nd (6) Whats In The Bag (3.33/1 -33%)
Whats In The Bag

3.33
3.33/1(-33%)
(6) Whats In The Bag 3.33/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark fitted with a hood in a Windsor novice last June and ran well after 11 months off when second on handicap debut there (5.1f) 25 days ago. Still unexposed.
Ran well for 2nd in a Windsor handicap last month after an absence; still low mileage.
2
3rd (2) Tolstoy (11/1 -10%)
Tolstoy

11
11/1(-10%)
(2) Tolstoy 11/1, Quirky sort who is 0-15 for current yard and hasn't threatened last 2 starts for all he's not been beaten far. Others preferred for win purposes.
Down to a good mark but on a losing run of 15 and often pulls too hard; risky.
3
4th (3) Lipsink (5/1 -67%)
Lipsink

5
5/1(-67%)
(3) Lipsink 5/1, Bounced straight back to form when second in 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Sure to be thereabouts if backing that up.
Second in two of his three runs this year; should give it another good go.
8
5th (8) Thismydream (28/1 +0%)
Thismydream

28
28/1(+0%)
(8) Thismydream 28/1, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the 23rd attempt at Southwell in January. Runner-up next 3 starts but followed a below-par effort with an even worse one back on turf at Chepstow last time.
Poor strike-rate and failed to fire returned to turf latest; well drawn at least.
7
6th (7) Harb (12/1 -33%)
Harb

12
12/1(-33%)
(7) Harb 12/1, Had a good winter on the AW but has been below par on turf the last twice. Mark easing but needs to up his game.
Not beaten far in either turf run this season; widest draw probably not ideal this time.
5
7th (5) Coup De Force (3.33/1 +39%)
Coup De Force

3.33
3.33/1(+39%)
(5) Coup De Force 3.33/1, Successful 3 times in 2022 and has returned in good nick this year, turning in another respectable effort when third in 9-runner event at Bath (5.7f) 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account.
Running well in defeat this season; should give her running once more.
9
8th (9) Secret Handsheikh (20/1 +50%)
Secret Handsheikh

20
20/1(+50%)
(9) Secret Handsheikh 20/1, Successful at Brighton in April but below form twice since.
Brighton win in April; less good twice since; others are more appealing.
4
9th (4) Mulzim (50/1 -25%)
Mulzim

50
50/1(-25%)
(4) Mulzim 50/1, Capitalised on a falling mark at Southwell in early in 2022 but below form all 4 starts since, although seemed unsuited by conditions on most recent outing.
Modest form after an absence this spring; others have more pressing claims.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

An impressive winner at Windsor last June, WHATS IN THE BAG returned from a sizeable absence with a solid runner-up effort at the same track last month and he is taken to go one better. Lil Guff (third) was behind him on that occasion and should be thereabouts again, along with the consistent Lipsink and Coup De Force, who may enjoy the drop in trip.

COUP DE FORCE is a reliable sort which could count for plenty in this field, so she's selected to get off the mark for the season. Lipsink is a bit in and out these days but is sure to be bang there if backing up his latest run, while Whats In The Bag and Lil Guff are others to consider.

Coup De Force and WHATS IN THE BAG (nap) appeal most and the latter can build on his promising seasonal return.

Sunway

6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(9) Sunway 6.5/1, Foaled March 23. €300,000 yearling, Galiway colt. Brother to high-class winner up to 1¼m Sealiway and 8.5f winner Seagali and half-brother to 7.5f winner Glamour Vendome. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Makes appeal on paper.
Yard's newcomers usually better for a run, but his pedigree makes him worth a market check.
8
2nd (8) Rednblue Sovereign (18/1 -29%)
Rednblue Sovereign

18
18/1(-29%)
(8) Rednblue Sovereign 18/1, Twice-raced colt. Built on debut promise when sixth of 12 in minor event at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Remains open to improvement.
Has shown ability as when sixth in the Woodcote; extra furlong should suit.
5
3rd (5) Inner City (0.91/1 +27%)
Inner City

0.91
0.91/1(+27%)
(5) Inner City 0.91/1, Bred to be smart and posted fairly useful form when fourth of 11 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago. Likely to improve and is one for shortlist.
Not beaten far into fourth on Yarmouth debut and respected if settling better.
1
4th (1) Caviar Heights (8.5/1 +15%)
Caviar Heights

8.5
8.5/1(+15%)
(1) Caviar Heights 8.5/1, Foaled March 1. 300,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to multiple 6f winners Hitchens (very smart) and Tanzeel (smart). Noteworthy newcomer.
Attractive pedigree and market should be useful.
2
5th (2) Crown Estate (4/1 -20%)
Crown Estate

4
4/1(-20%)
(2) Crown Estate 4/1, Ran with plenty of promise when fourth of 7 in minor event (10/3) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, not knocked about. Looks sure to improve with that run under his belt.
Green when fourth on his Haydock debut a week earlier; needs to improve.
4
6th (4) Ihopeyoulike (25/1 -39%)
Ihopeyoulike

25
25/1(-39%)
(4) Ihopeyoulike 25/1, Once-raced colt. 40/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) on debut 22 days ago. Open to improvement but likely to find 1 or 2 too good here.
Shaped as though 7f would suit on Haydock debut, but will need to improve a fir bit.
3
7th (3) I'm Puzzled (33/1 -18%)
I'm Puzzled

33
33/1(-18%)
(3) I'm Puzzled 33/1, Foaled February 13. 37,000 gns foal, 40,000 gns yearling, Sea The Moon colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Puzzle Time and 13f winner Kuraka. Dam unraced. Market check advised on debut.
Bred to come into his own over middle distances so may need more time.
6
8th (6) Made In China (14/1 +0%)
Made In China

14
14/1(+0%)
(6) Made In China 14/1, Foaled March 28. €45,000 foal, Almanzor colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o French 6f-7.5f winner Proletariat. Yard's juvenile debutants always warrant respect.
Stable has won this race three times since 2016, all with newcomers; watch market.
7
9th (7) Newfangled (100/1 -100%)
Newfangled

100
100/1(-100%)
(7) Newfangled 100/1, Foaled April 30. €19,000 foal, €26,000 yearling, New Bay colt. Brother to 1m winner Two Tempting and half-brother to numerous winners, including 9f/1¼m winner Sweet Reward and 1½m winner Rex Whistler. Dam 7f winner. Likely a longer-term prospect.
Others make more appeal on breeding and stable not normally known for winning newcomers.
LTO Selection:

14:40 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INNER CITY may have a wide draw to overcome but the way he shaped on his debut at Yarmouth, when going off favourite, gave every indication that he was a winner in waiting. Charlie Appleby's charge is bred in the purple, being out of a Group 1-winning mare, and he should have enough to see off the likes Crown Estate, who was behind a smart one on debut at Haydock last week, and newcomer Caviar Heights.

Preference is for CROWN ESTATE, who boasts a fine pedigree and should have learnt plenty from last week's encouraging Haydock debut. Inner City and Rednblue Sovereign are also potential improvers and look sure to make their presence felt in what should prove an informative contest.

This can go to INNER CITY, who wasn't beaten far when fourth on his Yarmouth debut and the run may have taken the freshness out of him.

7.5/1(+6%)
(4) Paradias 7.5/1, Back from 8-month absence when good second of 7 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 3/1) 18 days ago. Entitled to build on that and could be a player.
1-11 but some notable runs in defeat, including on reappearance 18 days ago.
3
2nd (3) Lord Protector (8/1 +50%)
Lord Protector

8
8/1(+50%)
(3) Lord Protector 8/1, Won this event (off 2 lb higher) 12 months ago and was unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood next time. However, rather gone backwards since and plenty to prove currently.
2lb lower than when winning this last year but his last four results are a big concern.
10
3rd (10) Youthful King (7.5/1 -50%)
Youthful King

7.5
7.5/1(-50%)
(10) Youthful King 7.5/1, Dual winner last season, including over C&D, and got back on scoreboard when making all at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 11 days ago. More required under a penalty here but warrants respect.
Needs plenty of respect, particularly after Windsor win, but this race is more demanding.
1
4th (1) Aramaic (2.25/1 +18%)
Aramaic

2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(1) Aramaic 2.25/1, Firmly on the up in 2021, notching impressive wins at Musselburgh and York. Looked to have retained all his ability, on return from 20 months off, when sixth of 13 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Enters calculations.
Absent 608 days before respectable sixth of 13 when 5-1 at York; very lightly raced.
9
5th (9) Sweet Reward (6.5/1 -8%)
Sweet Reward

6.5
6.5/1(-8%)
(9) Sweet Reward 6.5/1, Failed to add to his tally in 2022 but posted several creditable efforts in defeat and returned to best when narrow second of 19 in Newbury handicap (10f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Remains fairly treated on old form and is one for shortlist.
Two C&D wins in 2021, latter in this race; went very close at Newbury on latest outing.
8
6th (8) Fast Steps (9/1 +64%)
Fast Steps

9
9/1(+64%)
(8) Fast Steps 9/1, Enjoyed a good spell last summer and doubled his tally of handicap wins on return at Windsor (1m2f, soft) last month. Below that level at Newmarket latest, though, and others look better treated.
One to consider despite a lesser show from wide draw at Newbury four weeks ago.
6
7th (6) Spirit Of The Bay (10/1 -25%)
Spirit Of The Bay

10
10/1(-25%)
(6) Spirit Of The Bay 10/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago, cosily. Still on a workable mark up 5 lb but this looks a deeper contest.
Back up 5lb after Haydock win three weeks ago but she's not fully exposed at this distance.
2
8th (2) Crystal Delight (4.5/1 +36%)
Crystal Delight

4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(2) Crystal Delight 4.5/1, Opened his account on AW at Lingfield (10f) in December and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when eighth of 15 in York handicap (11.9f) last month. Not out of things.
Consistent in handicaps; rather free-going sort who may be suited by this return to 1m2f.
7
9th (7) Spinaround (33/1 -50%)
Spinaround

33
33/1(-50%)
(7) Spinaround 33/1, Came close off this mark at Kempton (8f) in April but not been in same form since and others are more appealing. Cheekpieces back on.
Not so hot in Class 3 on turf last two runs and latest was his only attempt over this far.
LTO Selection:

15:15 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Plenty of these arrive in good form and, with that in mind, only a tentative vote can go to ARAMAIC. It was interesting that the Le Havre gelding attracted market support on his return from a lengthy absence at York last month, so it would be no surprise were the unexposed five-year-old to step forward from an unchanged mark. Sweet Reward merits respect around here, as does recent Windsor scorer Youthful King, while Spirit Of The Bay and Crystal Delight can't be left out of calculations either.

SWEET REWARD pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Newbury last month and still looks feasibly treated. He can go one better here. Aramaic and Paradias are feared most.

There is no shortage of interest in this field and it's a close call but SPIRIT OF THE BAY is selected ahead of Sweet Reward.

(8) Zara's Return 7.5/1, Improved markedly when winning 13-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) last month and backed that up with solid fourth at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and must enter calculations.
Running on well over 1m but she did not help her cause last time by hanging.

Serengeti Sunset

4

(6) Serengeti Sunset 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden who matched his best form when third of 13 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces now added for first time and likely to make presence felt.
Creditable third at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) eight days ago behind Penzance; cheekpieces now.

Ramensky

11

1m4f AW win but pulled up on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f) later in February.

(5) Sea Me Dance 28/1, Fair form in 3 outings over 1m on AW, finishing fourth on Southwell reappearance in April. Below form on turf debut at Ascot last month, though, and makes limited appeal on handicap bow.
Twice made the running; now hooded and needs overall improvement on this handicap debut.

Query about good to firm ground; needs to improve but the dam's stamina gives some hope.

New Dayrell

Got loose before the start last time; now hooded and up in trip; may be capable of better.

9/1(+50%)
(9) Desfondado 9/1, Still looking for first success but ran up to best when third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) latest and warrants another try at this longer trip.
3rd of 13 in Windsor handicap (1m) last time was among his best form; probably stays 1m2f.
1
8th (1) Goodfella (22/1 +21%)
Goodfella

22
22/1(+21%)
(1) Goodfella 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Back on track when fourth of 5 in maiden (14/1) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to build on that back in handicap company.
This drop back in trip may well help but marked overall improvement is needed.
7
9th (7) Penzance (1.62/1 -62%)
Penzance

1.62
1.62/1(-62%)
(7) Penzance 1.62/1, Much improved when excellent second of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Can race off same mark and holds obvious claims. Wears first-time cheekpieces.
Due to go up 5lb, so well handicapped if last week's form (1m2f, AW) can be repeated.
LTO Selection:

15:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

NEW DAYRELL ran a blinder here last month having gotten loose beforehand and the son of New Approach, a full-brother to Listed winner New Graduate, is fancied to show more eased 1lb in the ratings. He finished third behind the classy Arrest on his racecourse debut last August, so his current mark of 77 ought to be well within range. Others to note include Stage Show, Penzance and Serengeti Sunset.

PENZANCE upped his game when second at Chelmsford last week and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. He makes plenty of appeal. Zara's Return and Serengeti Sunset should also go well.

The eight-day break, return to turf and first-time cheekpieces all pose questions but PENZANCE is the clear pick on last week's AW 2nd.

(3) Hat Toss 8/1, Failed to trouble the judge in half-a-dozen starts for previous connections in Ireland but was just touched off in a first-time hood on yard debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) in April. Another solid effort in defeat on the AW since and this trip could be ideal.
Placed on both starts for new stable this spring (1m/8.6f); drops back in trip here.

Zoukster

3.33

(9) Zoukster 3.33/1, Much-improved since being gelded/switched to handicaps, just touched off on the AW prior to bagging handicaps at Salisbury (6f) and Goodwood (7f), both on fast ground. Escapes a penalty for the latter and very much the one to beat with further progress likely.
Escapes a penalty for recent Goodwood win and is 6lb well in for this hat-trick attempt.

Won in good style on last month's handicap debut and has since run a big race in defeat.

(6) Hello Arthur 20/1, Safely held on return/turf debut at Leicester but conditions were testing that day and showed himself in a better light on fast ground when a close third in 7f Yarmouth handicap 15 days ago, finishing hot on the heals of the second-placed Taritino. Now blinkered and not without each-way hope.
Back in form when close third at Yarmouth this month; blinkers might aid his cause here.

(8) Red Maids 33/1, Failed to progress in 5 starts on the AW for the Gosdens last year. Subsequently sold for 18,000 gns and shaped well when failing by a whisker on yard/turf debut in a first-time tongue strap at Yarmouth (7f, good) but this looks more competitive.
Finished well to go close on seasonal/stable debut; this stiffer track ought to suit.

4.5/1(+0%)
(4) Leadenhall 4.5/1, Made a promising start when a running-on fifth of 10 in a C&D novice last September but turned over at odds on both subsequent starts, including when dropped to 6f on return at Salisbury. Improvement needed back up in trip on this handicap debut with first-time blinkers applied.
Placed in 6f maiden on seasonal debut; back up in trip with blinkers on for handicap debut.

(2) Taritino 12/1, Won 7f Redcar novice on second start at 2 yrs and has resumed in good order this season, finishing sixth in a big-field Newmarket handicap on return prior to going close at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) recently. 1 lb rise for that is fair and he's in with an each-way shout.
Ran game race from the front when close second at Yarmouth a fortnight ago; in the mix.

Bell Song

4.5/1(+63%)
(5) Bell Song 4.5/1, Nearer last than first on sole 2-y-o start but has shown a fair level of ability in 3 starts this season, most recently finding just one too good on handicap bow at Chelmsford (7f). Likely to pick up a race soon enough but will need to up her game if she's to emerge on top here.
Second on recent handicap debut; needs to settle better on turf debut; still considered.

9th (7) Overnight Oats (12/1 +57%)
Overnight Oats

12/1(+57%)
(7) Overnight Oats 12/1, Runner-up on a couple of occasions last season and respectable efforts in a couple of 6f handicaps this time round. Step up to 7f on this stiff track could be a good thing but he's 0-9 and others bring more progressive profiles to the party.
Both 6f runs last month were respectable and she's worth a go at 7f but others appeal more.
LTO Selection:

16:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Leadenhall is noteworthy on his handicap debut off a workable mark and can go well if the first-time blinkers prompt some improvement, while last month's Redcar winner Senesi is respected given he was just denied by a neck under a penalty at Windsor 18 days ago, although a 3lb higher mark demands more. Nevertheless, the one that appeals most is BELL SONG, who has stacks of potential at this stage and could be hard to repel with another step forward. Zoukster is up in class but is also feared.

It's hard to escape the claims of ZOUKSTER, who has really clicked since switched to handicaps and the way he went about his business at Goodwood last week suggests that there is more to come. He escapes a penalty for that and is confidently expected to complete the hat-trick. Senesi is also going the right way and she is next on the list ahead of Hat Toss. There wasn't much between Taritino and Hello Arthur at Yarmouth recently and they are live each-way candidates, too.

This looks competitive for this grade. Preference is for SENESI, who has made a strong start to his handicap career.

6.5/1(-44%)
(4) Lionella 6.5/1, Creditable efforts in 1½m handicaps at Lingfield and Salisbury since returning to action in April. This stiffer test will almost certainly be in her favour but will need to up her game a notch if she's to open her account.
Plenty in both 1m4f placings which suggested that this extra 2f will suit her well.

5/1(-11%)
(1) Lady Rascal 5/1, Raised her game when landing a 6-runner minor event at Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm) last month. Modest gallop didn't do her any favours when failing to land the odds upped to a 1½m in a Thirsk handicap next time and this further increase in trip looks a good move.
Second when upped to 1m4f at Thirsk; 1m6f is plausible given that display and her sire.

5/1(-122%)
(2) Cinnodin 5/1, Didn't show much in 3 starts on the AW in 2022 but has looked a different proposition this season, winning 3 of his 4 starts in handicaps, the latest a 4-runner affair over this C&D. 5 lb rise doesn't look harsh and couldn't rule out, for all that more is certainly needed.
1121 in handicaps, over 1m6f switched to turf (good to soft) last twice; strong on stamina.

(3) Fair Dinkum 2.75/1, Posted his best effort yet upped to this trip when chasing home an improver from the Sir Mark Prescott yard at Redcar (good to firm). More than capable of winning a race or two on that evidence and should make his presence felt here with Oisin Murphy up.
Second of ten in maiden handicap at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) last time.

(5) Trooper Bisdee 1.5/1, Left 2-y-o form well behind when making a winning return/handicap debut upped to 11.5f at Yarmouth (good to firm) recently. 3 lb rise almost certainly underestimates him and appeals as the type to remain a step ahead of the handicapper for some time yet.
Up in trip and more in the tank, so good chance he'll go in again for in-form yard.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

TROOPER BISDEE might have seen his advantage whittled away in the closing stages when he won at Yarmouth on his handicap debut last month, but he is entitled to be sharper for the run and looks a typically progressive staying handicapper from Sir Mark Prescott's yard. He is a brother to Captain House, who won over 2m for the yard on the all-weather last year, so today's longer trip is likely to suit. C&D winner Cinnodin is feared most, with Fair Dinkum also considered.

TROOPER BISDEE has the look of yet another Sir Mark Prescott-trained 3-y-o who will run up a sequence in staying handicaps. Indeed, he stll looked raw when making a successful reappearance at Yarmouth and this further step up in trip is pretty much guaranteed to be the catalyst for further improvement. Lady Rascal also shapes as though this stiffer test will be in her favour and she is second choice ahead of Fair Dinkum.

It's an interesting field containing plenty of potential but TROOPER BISDEE looks capable of the most improvement.

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.
