King Of The Dance

33
33/1(-65%)
(11) King Of The Dance 33/1, A fair 1m AW winner for Eve Johnson Houghton last summer but yet to match that level in four starts for present yard. Others preferred.
Below last winning mark but he's failed to threaten on his three outings this year.

Cervetto

4/1(+38%)
(4) Cervetto 4/1, Got off the mark at Lingfield in January and in good nick since, fourth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good) 21 days ago. In the mix once more with cheekpieces added.
Lightly raced 4yo who returned from break with creditable fourth at Goodwood; chance.

Warning Sign

28
28/1(-75%)
(3) Warning Sign 28/1, It's now 14 runs since last win in 2021 and he came in last of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
Has struggled this year but has dropped down weights and gets on well with David Dunsdon.

3rd (2) Beautiful Crown (15/2 -200%)
Beautiful Crown

7.5
15/2(-200%)
(2) Beautiful Crown 15/2, Unbeaten for his new yard and comes here on a hat-trick after handicap wins at Lingfield (1m) and Chepstow (10f, good) this summer. Up 5 lb but he still rates the pick of these weights.
2-2 for new yard and latest 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him.
5
4th (5) Marsh Benham (28/1 -180%)
Marsh Benham

28
28/1(-180%)
(5) Marsh Benham 28/1, Ungenuine type but he turned in a creditable second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 3 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Others are still preferred.
Fair 2nd of five at Lingfield on Tuesday; not ruled out but his slow starts are a concern.
9
5th (9) Always Fearless (80/1 -700%)
Always Fearless

80
80/1(-700%)
(9) Always Fearless 80/1, Scored at Kempton but only eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) later in February. Needs to hit the ground running after his break.
Modest turf strike-rate but sole turf win came last August and he goes well fresh.
10
6th (10) Jenson Benson (100/1 -614%)
Jenson Benson

100
100/1(-614%)
(10) Jenson Benson 100/1, On a lengthy losing sequence and only ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago. Hard to warm to.
Well treated on this year's best AW efforts but needs to leave latest effort well behind.
1
7th (1) Vellner (100/1 -614%)
Vellner

100
100/1(-614%)
(1) Vellner 100/1, Scored at Ayr in May and recorded a creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good) 21 days ago. Enters calculations.
Arrives in good form and could be bang there now back on a conventional track.
13
8th (13) Voltaic (40/1 -400%)
Voltaic

40
40/1(-400%)
(13) Voltaic 40/1, Visored and has taken his form up a notch with back-to-back wins at Brighton and Leicester (7f) this summer. This demands more back in handicap company but still not taken lightly.
Classified wins in the visor the last twice and this in-form 8yo has to be respected.
6
9th (6) Finn Russell (66/1 -164%)
Finn Russell

66
66/1(-164%)
(6) Finn Russell 66/1, Unreliable sort who came in last of 13 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Hard to warm to.
Blew the start last time; risk attached after that but he was a good third previously.
12
10th (12) Luna Magic (66/1 -915%)
Luna Magic

66
66/1(-915%)
(12) Luna Magic 66/1, In good form without winning until tenth of 13 to Dakota Power in handicap at Salisbury (7f, heavy) 61 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
Has won eight times under Brodie Hampson; soft-ground excuse last time; could bounce back.
8
11th (8) Raqraaq (100/1 -614%)
Raqraaq

100
100/1(-614%)
(8) Raqraaq 100/1, Ended 2023 with 1m Lingfield success but yet to fire in two runs this term, seventh of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (9f, good) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Ran better than finishing position suggests at Goodwood and he might not be far away.
7
12th (7) Dakota Power (100/1 -1011%)
Dakota Power

100
100/1(-1011%)
(7) Dakota Power 100/1, Resumed winning ways at Salisbury in May and posted a respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 49 days ago. Can give another good account.
Inconsistent but won under Megan Jordan at Salisbury two starts ago and is not discounted.
14
13th (14) Sirius White (20/1 -67%)
Sirius White

20
20/1(-67%)
(14) Sirius White 20/1, In excellent form for his current yard, scoring at Southwell (1m) in March and third of 14 at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.
Won over 1m in March and close third over 6f at Hamilton last month; could be in the mix.

13:55 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Beautiful Crown made it two from two for the Jack Jones team when winning at Chepstow recently and he is of clear interest despite being raised 5lb in the handicap, but MARSH BENHAM shades preference. The son of Galileo Gold was no match for an unexposed rival at Lingfield on Tuesday, but that did at least signal a return to form. With leading amateur Simon Walker aboard, he ought to hold every chance should this race not come too soon. Others to note include Voltaic and Cervetto.

BEAUTIFUL CROWN hasn't looked back since joining Jack Jones and is fancied to make it 3-3 for the yard off a still workable mark. The reliable Cervetto could emerge as the main threat, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out a bit more improvement. Dakota Power, Vellner and Voltaic are all worthy of respect too.

Having won both starts for Jack Jones, the rejuvenated BEAUTIFUL CROWN is taken to complete a hat-trick. Voltaic is a danger.

1st (1) Aesterius (7/4 +0%)
Aesterius

1.75
7/4(+0%)
(1) Aesterius 7/4, Early foal who fetched £380,000 at the breeze-ups and he landed the odds without too much fuss starting out at Bath. Excellent fifth of 13 in Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot since, moving sweetly for a long way and leaving the impression he can progress again. The one to beat.
Close fifth in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot and holds leading claims on that form.

It Ain't Two

2.75
11/4(+80%)
(7) It Ain't Two 11/4, Winner 2 of her 4 starts, namely Newmarket maiden (5f) on debut and 6f Carlisle novice. Very good 2¼ lengths fourth of 12 in listed race on the July Course (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 6 days ago despite a slow start and she's a player.
Creditable fourth in Listed fillies' race last Saturday but improvement needed today.

The Actor

3
3/1(+0%)
(5) The Actor 3/1, Confirmed debut promise when narrow winner of a warm Newmarket novice in May. Bit underwhelming when mid-field in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot since but he's better than that.
Newmarket 5f win reads well; faded over 6f at Royal Ascot; could have big part to play.
3
4th (3) Kinetic Force (66/1 +0%)
Kinetic Force

66
66/1(+0%)
(3) Kinetic Force 66/1, Land Force colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 6.5f King's Lynn. Knew his job to win 10-runner maiden at Lingfield (5f, good) on debut and similar form when third under a penalty at Redcar. Plenty to find at this level.
Considerable promise on both runs but needs sizeable step forward in this much hotter race.
2
5th (2) End Of Story (100/1 -1150%)
End Of Story

100
100/1(-1150%)
(2) End Of Story 100/1, Justified favouritism in 13-runner maiden (4/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) on debut. Not seen to best effect in Woodcote at Epsom and gave a good account back at 5f when tenth of 27 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. Not taken lightly with Buick booked.
Fair tenth in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot but form needs to go to a new level today.
6
6th (6) Zminiature (100/1 -733%)
Zminiature

100
100/1(-733%)
(6) Zminiature 100/1, Territories colt who won a weak renewal of the Brocklesby at Doncaster (heavy). Much better form when third in listed event over C&D 2 months later but outclassed in Coventry at Royal Ascot since. Others stronger.
Brocklesby winner; well beaten at Royal Ascot & limitations likely to be exposed once more.

14:30 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

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

AESTERIUS finished a creditable fifth in the Norfolk Stakes last month and a reproduction of that performance will make him a tough nut to crack. The Actor and Zminiature both contested the Coventry last time and must enter calculations now eased in grade, while It Ain't Two performed well in defeat in the Empress Stakes at Newmarket last weekend and is another to bear in mind.

The obvious one is AESTERIUS, who shaped well when beaten 1¼ lengths in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot 2 weeks ago. The Actor, who is better than he was able to show in the Coventry, is next best, ahead of It Ain't Two.

Close Norfolk fifth Aesterius is a key player but preference is for THE ACTOR, who wasn't seen to best effect in the Coventry.

1st (2) Tees Spirit (9/2 +31%)
Tees Spirit

4.5
9/2(+31%)
(2) Tees Spirit 9/2, Prolific in 2022. Drew a blank in 2023 but got 2024 off to a perfect start when making all in 5f Newmarket handicap in April. Also a creditable fifth of 17 at the York Dante meeting in May but below par twice since.
Now 5lb lower then when creditable fifth at York in May; excuses the next twice.

2nd (6) Existent (5/1 +29%)
Existent

5
5/1(+29%)
(6) Existent 5/1, Losing run is mounting up and he was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn. The positives are he's potentially well handicapped and Oisin Murphy takes the ride but a watching brief is the percentage call after 9 months off.
Well handicapped on last year's best runs but form went wrong way towards end of season.
1
3rd (1) Equilateral (8/1 -45%)
Equilateral

8
8/1(-45%)
(1) Equilateral 8/1, Smart handicap performance to win a big-field event at last year's York Ebor meeting. Hasn't come close to reproducing that form at listed/Group level since but no shock were he to bounce back to form with a bang with his sights lowered.
Return to form needed but he tends to ply trade at higher level and is 3-3 in handicaps.
5
4th (5) Navello (50/1 -669%)
Navello

50
50/1(-669%)
(5) Navello 50/1, Second win of 2024 when seeing off 9 rivals at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month and even better form when third of 13 in Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle under Grace McEntee last Friday. Much respected from the same mark.
In top form with these cheekpieces back on the last twice; can give another good account.
3
5th (3) Dream Composer (28/1 -1500%)
Dream Composer

28
28/1(-1500%)
(3) Dream Composer 28/1, Took this race 12 months ago and back to that form when landing the Epsom Dash (5f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago. A 5 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for back-to-back wins in this.
Won at Epsom last time and remains 2lb lower than when winning this race last year.

6th (4) Graceful Thunder (100/1 -2757%)
Graceful Thunder

100
100/1(-2757%)
(4) Graceful Thunder 100/1, Useful at 2, including a C&D win. Bit below that form when fifth in listed races at York and Chantilly this season. Down in grade now and Buick does the steering.
French 2yo Listed winner last season; not at same level this year; first handicap start.

15:05 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to EQUILATERAL, who has been used to competing at a much higher level over the years. Charlie Hills' nine-year-old is three from three in handicaps, though, and can be expected to mount another stern challenge from 1lb below his last winning mark. Dream Composer landed the Dash at Epsom under Joe Leavy last month and a subsequent 5lb rise might not be beyond him. Tees Spirit has plenty of early speed so he'll be a threat to all if allowed too much rope at the head of affairs.

DREAM COMPOSER is taken to defy a 5 lb rise for Epsom and win this for the second year running. Equilateral showed what a class act he is in handicap company at York last summer and is second choice ahead of last Friday's Gosforth Park Cup third Navello.

Preference is for DREAM COMPOSER who won at Epsom last time and remains 2lb lower than when landing this race last year.

Carries 5lb penalty but this Newbury debut winner is a highly likeable prospect.

15:40 Sandown Stakes (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANNO DOMINI quickened like a smart type when scoring a shade cosily on his racecourse bow at Newbury last month. Charlie Appleby's colt should have learned plenty from that initial experience and he looks more than capable of defying a 5lb penalty. Aegean Sea also offered plenty of encouragement on his third-placed debut over C&D in June and the son of Kingman is feared most. Any market support for newcomers Pantile Warrior and Angel Hunter would be interesting.

ANNO DOMINI won more impressively than the final margin suggests when justifying market confidence at Newbury on debut 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat under a penalty. Aegean Sea and Windlord both made promising starts when hitting the frame in a C&D maiden 3 weeks ago so are feared most.

Godolphin colt ANNO DOMINI did it nicely at Newbury and is taken to defy a 5lb penalty and make it 2-2.

Regal Reality

8.5
17/2(-42%)
(6) Regal Reality 17/2, Smart performer who has won a Group 3 every year bar one since 2018. Made the frame first 2 starts this year and merits respect for all that he was below form in the Diomed Stakes at Epsom last time.
Five-time Group 3 winner; below par last time at Epsom but hard to discount at this level.

Lightly raced 4yo and form of his last couple of runs in particular stacks up very well.

Group 3 win came on heavy and conditions were soft for last season's best efforts.

16:15 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Having finished in third behind subsequent French Group 1 winner Dubai Honour on his reappearance at Kempton in April, it's too early to be writing LION'S PRIDE off. There appears nothing of that calibre in this contest and the Gosdens' colt makes the most appeal. Savvy Victory looked close to his best judged on last month's fourth in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot. The five-year-old is entitled to build on that seasonal bow and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Al Mubhir.

LION'S PRIDE sets the standard and there was nothing wrong with his third at Kempton on return 3 months ago, so he's the one to beat having likely been well prepared for this. Al Mubhir is a danger after shaping well in handicap company and Checkandchallenge isn't without hope.

On the back of such good runs in strong Listed races and with the promise of more to come, LION'S PRIDE (nap) is readly preferred.

11/8(+31%)
(5) Trueshan 11/8, One of the leading stayers of recent years and showed he still has plenty to offer when landing the Doncaster Cup and Prix du Cadran last season. Not disgraced under a Group 1 penalty in Sagaro at Ascot/Henry II Stakes over C&D both starts this term and now drops in grade.
Three Group 1 wins; below best this year but leading claims nevertheless if ground suits.

(7) Night Sparkle 25/1, Progressive on the Flat for Michael O'Callaghan last summer and best effort for this yard when going close in York Group 3 over further on return. Had excuses next time and looks worth a go over this sort of trip.
Underwhelming last time but a player if tapping back into her previous promise at York.

(6) Miss Cynthia 22/1, Remains a maiden and that's unlucky to change in a grade that's slightly beyond her.
Creditable Listed fourth in Germany last month but form has to go to a new level today.

100/1(-6035%)
(1) Quickthorn 100/1, Front-runner who slipped the field when a wide-margin winner of the Goodwood Cup last summer. Hasn't fired on either start since but could come on for his reappearance and he's hard to peg back when allowed his own way.
Won the Group 1 Goodwood Cup last August; leading claims if leaving reappearance behind.

(3) Run For Oscar 80/1, Likeable dual-purpose operator over the years and respectable second in Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot shows he still has plenty to offer. Not completely dismissed.
Often runs well in defeat and finished second in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot.

(2) Roberto Escobarr 40/1, Smart gelding. 22¾ lengths thirteenth of 15 to Tower of London in Dubai Gold Cup (80/1) at Meydan (15.9f, good) 3 months ago. Has left Charlie Appleby since but he's a classy sort who is worth monitoring in the betting on debut for new yard.
Well beaten in Saudi Arabia/Dubai on last two starts but was a C&D Group 3 winner last May.

16:50 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TRUESHAN has yet to rediscover the form he showed when winning the Prix du Cadran last September, but his most recent effort over C&D wasn't without promise and this represents another drop in grade. The ground may not be ideal for Alan King's stalwart but he may have too much for last year's Goodwood Cup winner Quickthorn, who never landed a blow on his return at Ascot in May. In-form jockey James Doyle looks to be an eye-catching booking aboard Irish raider Run For Oscar, who produced another creditable placed effort in the Queen Alexandra Stakes.

QUICKTHORN has an underwhelming return to put behind him but there's no obvious pressure for the lead and, if he's able to build up an early advantage, he's going to be tough to peg back. Trueshan is the obvious threat dropping back in grade and Night Sparkle is of interest trying this distance for the first time.

The mare NIGHT SPARKLE kept on well for second in a 1m6f Group 3 at York in May and earns the vote in view of that staying promise.

(8) Cock And Bull 9/1, In good form, doing well when resuming winning ways in steadily-run C&D 3-y-o handicap 3 weeks ago. Up 3 lb now taking on the older horses and could have more to offer over this sort of trip.
Won over C&D three weeks ago on first attempt at 1m6f and he's firmly in calculations.

Ran well at Goodwood last time but needs something extra if he's to exploit reduced mark.

(6) Whispering Royal 7/1, Hurdles winner for this yard who ran respectably without ever posing a serious threat to Taritino at Bath last time. Murphy up but more needed.
Encouraging third at Bath four weeks ago and he's 12lb better off with the winner Taritino.

(2) Hurtle Wallop 100/1, Minor promise in maiden/novice company but temperament very much under suspicion now after giving trouble at the stalls, as well as whipping round at the start and unseating rider at Salisbury. Hood tried but risky.
Very lightly raced 4yo with useful pedigree but he's had issues at the start.

Has won his last three and this thriving 4yo can play another leading role.

Short-headed at Doncaster last Friday and this unexposed 3yo can make another bold bid.

17:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A major improver since being stepped up in trip this season, COCK AND BULL deservedly gained a second career victory when getting on top late to score over C&D last time out. A 3lb rise looks manageable and he can get the better of the in-form Taritino, who arrives on a four-timer, and Whispering Royal (third), who has over four lengths to make up on Joe Tickle's charge from their meeting at Bath last month. Almudena and Love Safari are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

LOVE SAFARI went down narrowly upped to this trip in a 3-y-o handicap at Doncaster last week and has a good chance if in the same sort of form with William Buick up. Taritino won't go down lightly in his bid for a 4-timer, while Cock And Bull can go well again.

Top of the list is LOVE SAFARI who runs off the same mark as for his short-head defeat at Doncaster last Friday.

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.
