1st (4) Dream Composer (3/1 +50%)
Dream Composer

3
3/1(+50%)
(4) Dream Composer 3/1, Has taken his form up a notch this year, scoring at Newmarket and Goodwood. Didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when third at latter course before finding Wokingham at Royal Ascot too competitive.
Progressive sprinter with a will to win and an excellent record over 5f; solid contender.

Korker

2.5/1(-17%)
(2) Korker 2.5/1, Back to best when second of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) last week and player with a repeat.
As good as ever this year, twice finishing second in strong 5f handicaps; major player.

10/1(-25%)
(3) Arecibo 10/1, Losing run is mounting up but took step back in the right direction fitted with a tongue strap when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 33/1) last week and has some decent form at this track.
Two good 2nds in the spring but his form has dipped more recently; behind Korker last week.

Can To Can

5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(6) Can To Can 5.5/1, Left reappearance/yard debut effort in her wake when making all in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (5f). In better form than recent form figures suggest since, seventh of 26 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) 14 days ago, deserving extra credit having been up with the pace. Not taken lightly.
Bolted up on AW in May but the handicapper has exacted revenge since; best on fast turf.

5th (5) Dubai Station (33/1 -83%)
Dubai Station

33
33/1(-83%)
(5) Dubai Station 33/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in March on second start for this yard but unable to match that form since and overall record suggests he's best on AW.
Impressive on AW (6f) off this mark in March; less convincing in four runs since.

6th (1) Clarendon House (2.25/1 +0%)
Clarendon House

2.25
2.25/1(+0%)
(1) Clarendon House 2.25/1, Highly tried on the back of success in small field conditions' event at Beverley (5f) last summer. Stepped up on reappearance when decent third in the "Dash" at Epsom, though pulled too hard at Haydock since. Tongue strap applied and worth another chance.
Big chance on his 3rd in the Dash; not so good latest; tongue-tie added; drying ground a +.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Clarendon House, Korker and Arecibo have encountered each other in some quality sprints lately and are once again key players. Given he is arguably the most straightforward, Clarendon House, with a tongue-tie now applied, appeals most of that trio. However, DREAM COMPOSER is dangerous to underestimate based on his peak performances and he can provide a bit of value if his main rivals are a bit below par.

CLARENDON HOUSE pulled too hard in a listed event at Haydock last time but he went very close in the "Dash" at Epsom the time before so is worth another chance in a first-time tongue strap. Korker was back to his smart best when second at Newcastle last week so rates a big threat, while Arecibo took a step back in the right direction in the same race and has performed well here before.

Korker has solid claims after a good run last week but DREAM COMPOSER (nap) is making giant strides over 5f and he can go in again.

Kylian

2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(3) Kylian 2.25/1, Took another step forward to get off the mark in good style switched to all-weather in 5-runner event at Newcastle (5f, 5/2) 16 days ago, pushed out. May do better still and merits plenty of respect up in grade.
Let supporters down on first 2 runs but produced dominant display on AW latest; big chance.
1
2nd (1) Hackman (14/1 +22%)
Hackman

14
14/1(+22%)
(1) Hackman 14/1, Half-brother to several winners and confirmed the promise of his debut when landing 5-runner maiden at Chester in May. Gave a good account of himself behind a smart prospect in the National Stakes over C&D but shaped as if amiss when well held in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time.
Chester winner in May and ran quite well in Listed event over C&D next time; quiet latest.
4
3rd (4) Nazalan (8.5/1 -13%)
Nazalan

8.5
8.5/1(-13%)
(4) Nazalan 8.5/1, £105,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Green when third of 8 at Nottingham on debut and built on that promise when making all in a C&D novice last month, unchallenged. That form has already been franked and he's open to further improvement.
Promise on debut before easily making all over C&D; this tougher but there's more to come.
2
4th (2) Hala Emaraaty (5.5/1 +39%)
Hala Emaraaty

5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(2) Hala Emaraaty 5.5/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 6-runner maiden at Ripon (heavy) and just as effective on different ground when defying a penalty at Redcar. Ran to a just a similar level up in grade when seventh of 23 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, though. More needed.
Won his first 2 starts before a creditable 7th at Royal Ascot; this looks more manageable.
6
5th (6) Born To Rock (1.5/1 -36%)
Born To Rock

1.5
1.5/1(-36%)
(6) Born To Rock 1.5/1, Soldier's Call filly who looked a good prospect when making a winning start in 12-runner maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f) 44 days ago. Form has taken some knocks but the timefigure was good and she has to be considered the one to beat.
Debut form not franked but she was in a different league to her rivals; more to come.
7
6th (7) Queues Likely (100/1 -150%)
Queues Likely

100
100/1(-150%)
(7) Queues Likely 100/1, Made most of experience when making all in 10-runner maiden at Windsor (5.1f) in June, seeming well suited by the switch to aggressive tactics. However, wasn't in anything like the same form under a penalty at Windsor last week and looks set for another struggle up in grade.
Easy winner at Windsor on penultimate start; well held last week; flying too high today.
5
7th (5) Sergeant Wilko (11/1 +39%)
Sergeant Wilko

11
11/1(+39%)
(5) Sergeant Wilko 11/1, Shaped best when second of 8 in an early-season novice at Musselburgh and duly went one place better at Thirsk a fortnight later. Not seen to best effect when well held in Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot since and better judged on previous form as a result.
Ready winner on soft ground on 2nd start; found Royal Ascot too hot to handle; more needed.
LTO Selection:

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

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

HALA EMARAATY, who was a respectable seventh in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, arguably sets the standard on form and could take some stopping in this smaller field. He was comfortably ahead of Sergeant Wilko (18th) and Hackman (21st) at Ascot and a step forward can see him gain a deserved success. Kylian missed the Royal meeting but must be feared given he is officially the top-rated horse on the back of his Newcastle romp.

BORN TO ROCK cost plenty at the breeze-ups and clocked a good time when making a winning start in a Yarmouth maiden back in May, so there's no real urge to look beyond her, especially in a weak-looking renewal of this listed contest. Nazalan had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when making all over C&D last month and, with that form proving strong, he's feared most. Kylian opened his account in decisive fashion at Newcastle recently and warrants respect, also.

Born To Rock is greatly respected but KYLIAN showed what he could do at Newcastle and remains capable of better.

1st (6) Yibir (0.33/1 +18%)
Yibir

0.33
0.33/1(+18%)
(6) Yibir 0.33/1, High-class performer who signed off for 2022 with victory in the Group 2 Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket. Looked rusty on return in Aston Park Stakes at Newbury and below form upped markedly in trip in Gold Cup at Royal Ascot recently. Looks the one to beat in this company.
Showed enough in the Gold Cup to suggest he is the one to beat over 2m at this lower level.
1
2nd (1) Aaddeey (11/1 +21%)
Aaddeey

11
11/1(+21%)
(1) Aaddeey 11/1, Dual winner for the Crisfords in 2021. Made it to the track only twice last season but made a successful return after 11 months off (had breathing op) in handicap at Ripon (12f, heavy) in April. Down the field in Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot recently but returns to a small field scenario.
1m4f win on first of two runs for yard; has his first go at 2m and steps out of handicaps.
3
3rd (3) Ocean Wind (5.5/1 -10%)
Ocean Wind

5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(3) Ocean Wind 5.5/1, Three-time winner in 2020 who took his form up another notch in 2021, finishing runner-up on his first 3 outings (beaten length by Stradivarius in Sagaro Stakes). Disappointed when last seen in Henry II Stakes at this C&D over 2 years ago and blinkers go on for his return.
Smart form in April 2021; absent since May 2021 and blinkered for this reappearance.
5
4th (5) Sleeping Lion (9/1 +18%)
Sleeping Lion

9
9/1(+18%)
(5) Sleeping Lion 9/1, Very capable performer when on-song and ran about as well as could have been expected after a couple of months off when 3¾ lengths third of 5 to Roberto Escobarr in Henry II Stakes at this C&D (good) just over 6 weeks ago. Needs to settle better if he's to feature, however.
Back near his best when third of five in Group 3 over C&D (good) six weeks ago.
4
5th (4) Raymond Tusk (28/1 -40%)
Raymond Tusk

28
28/1(-40%)
(4) Raymond Tusk 28/1, Useful performer who got back on track after 4 months off when third in handicap at Newmarket (12f) in May, nearest finish. Not in same form in Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot (14.2f, good) since, so probably best to look elsewhere.
Smart form in 2022 (second run this year was satisfactory) but rarely seen over this far.
2
6th (2) Estacas (50/1 -25%)
Estacas

50
50/1(-25%)
(2) Estacas 50/1, Fair hurdler who seemed to excel himself making only his second start on the Flat when fifth in Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot (21.6f, good to firm) just under a fortnight ago. Remains to be seen if he can back that up.
Bumper/hurdle winner; fifth of nine in the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot (2m5f) latest.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

YIBIR has gained glory on some big stages on his travels and, having finished a commendable sixth in last month's Gold Cup, he is a strong candidate for further success over this more suitable trip. William Buick knows the gelding inside out and another big run is expected. Ocean Wind deserves a day in the sun and is sure to give his all once more, while Aaddeey certainly can't be ruled out.

It's tough to look beyond YIBIR, who was unable get competitive in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot just over a fortnight ago but back in much calmer waters, Charlie Appleby's 5-y-o should prove tough to beat. Ocean Wind has a lengthy absence to overcome, but he put up a few smart performances in defeat back in 2021 and he could give the selection most to think about sporting first-time headgear. Aaddeey and Sleeping Lion can do battle for third spot.

Confidence in YIBIR is dented but this race is a major drop in class and he did plug on into 6th of 12 in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.

45,000gns yearling buy, with useful pedigree; trainer has few 2yo turf winners.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Sandown Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Overlooked's dam is a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Kinross and the son of Dark Angel must hold every chance of building on a decent third over an extended 6f at Newbury last month. However, 600,000-euro yearling ARABIAN CROWN rates the one to beat based on his pedigree. A full-brother to German Listed winner Everest Rose, as well as a half-brother to The Juliet Rose and Trade Flow, the son of Dubawi can get the better of Judge Frank, who finished a good second on debut ahead of Overlooked last month. Starlore is another who warrants a market check.

Little form to go on but lots of potential and Sir Michael Stoute's well-related Kingman colt Starlore is taken to emerge on top from fellow newcomer Arabian Crown, who is also bred to be useful and represents the powerful Charlie Appleby team. Happy Chandler is another starting out who could have a say in a novice where the market should prove highly informative.

Judge Frank got the better of Overlooked at Newbury. ARABIAN CROWN is preferred to Starlore among the interesting newcomers

8.5/1(-13%)
(5) Savvy Victory 8.5/1, Dual winner last season over this trip and ran a mighty race when length second in handicap at Chester in May (Certain Lad third). Hampered and eased off in the Wolferton so forgiven that effort.
Would have run respectably at Royal Ascot but for bad interference; form chance.

Disappointing when 9-1 at Royal Ascot, same race as all of these; has had only six races.

Saga

1.62

(4) Saga 1.62/1, Just failed to get up in last year's Britannia fitted with first-time blinkers/tongue tie and having been gelded it was a similar story on his return at Newmarket in first-time cheekpieces (conceded first run and just failed). Fair fifth in the Wolferton and major player on these terms.

(2) Notre Belle Bete 4.5/1, Revived in cheekpieces at the end of last year, winning the Easter Classic AW Middle Distance Championships Stakes at Newcastle on Good Friday and keeping on for third behind King of Conquest and Saga at Newmarket last time. Never really a factor in the Wolferton last time.
Player if bouncing straight back from his 11th in Listed race at Royal Ascot.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Even though SAGA finished a fair fifth in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot last month, he has proven to be capable of better and is fancied to get back in the winning groove. He was only narrowly denied in a competitive handicap at Newmarket in May and should be firmly in the picture if anywhere near that form. Notre Belle Bete is feared most in the hands of William Buick, while Certain Lad completes the shortlist.

All 5 of these contested the Wolferton at Royal Ascot and only SAGA gave his running, albeit Certain Lad and Savvy Victory were hampered. The Gosden 4-y-o isn't totally straightforward but he's just about the pick on these terms. With no obvious pace on, Poker Face may resume forward tactics and he's feared most.

They all ran in the Wolferton. That result points firmly to Saga but it's not so simple with him and SAVVY VICTORY is preferred.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Liable has improved for each outing to date, with the latest effort coming when runner-up at Salisbury over 1m4f, and he now takes a further step up in trip on his handicap bow. However, the one to side with is MISS CYNTHIA. The daughter of Sea The Moon is the type her trainer Sir Mark Prescott does so well with, and she was over eight lengths clear of the third when finishing second at Yarmouth latest. Motazzen is another interesting contender.

MISS CYNTHIA relished the longer trip and pulled clear with another promising sort when second at Yarmouth a week ago, so she makes plenty of appeal as she bids to go one better from the same mark. Recent C&D winner Lionella is a big danger and Seahouses looks an interesting handicap debutant.

The 3yos are far less exposed and bring more potential, with LIABLE given the vote ahead of Miss Cynthia and Lionella.

Gavi Di Gavi

14/1(+0%)
(12) Gavi Di Gavi 14/1, The most recent of his 7 wins on the AW was gained at Wolverhampton in February. Turf record stands at 0-9 having finished down the field at Newbury (1¼m, firm) last time, but he shaped better than the distance beaten there and dropping back to this trip looks a good move.
0-9 on turf as opposed to 7-34 on AW; return to 1m will help but others appeal more.

(1) Roman Dynasty 1/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when landing 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 3/1) last week, forging clear. 5 lb penalty to carry now but remains feasibly treated on old form. Engaged 4.00 Yarmouth Thursday.
Bolted up at Nottingham last week; well in under penalty; closing 2nd at Yarmouth Thursday.

(4) Goldsmith 9/1, Dual AW winner during the winter and good third back from a break at Lingfield in March. However, not so good next 2 starts and he's 0-5 on turf, but represents last year's winning trainer-jockey combination and dangerous to discount.
Won his first 2 runs for this yard (1m2f, AW) but stalled more recently; turf form patchy.

(3) Marsh Benham 6.5/1, Produced a career best when resuming winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in May. Followed up over 7f at Brighton since and booking of Serena Brotherton is an obvious plus, but 5 lb rise for latest success forces him into a higher grade.
Chasing a hat-trick after Class 6 wins at Chepstow and Brighton; shortlist material.

18/1(-140%)
(10) Imperial Cult 18/1, Improved third in a first-time hood on handicap debut/sole start for Mark Pattinson at Lingfield (1½m, AW) in February. Better than the bare result when runner-up at Kempton (11f) with hood discarded for new yard last month, but this drop back in trip is of dubious benefit now returned to turf.
Two good runs in middle-distance handicaps; drop back to 1m not sure to suit.

Brilliant Blue

8/1(+27%)
(11) Brilliant Blue 8/1, Couple of decent efforts at 2 yrs and while there was little to shout about last season, he took a step back in the right direction following a wind op when placed over this trip at Brighton and Yarmouth in May. Appeared to find 1¼m too much of a test last time and claims back down in trip here.
14-race maiden but he's on a lowly mark and the return to 1m will suit; not ruled out.

(7) Hoots Toots 8/1, Back-to-back winner over a mile at Southwell on final 2 starts of last season, and opened account on turf when returning to action at Thirsk (7f, soft) in April. However, she was nearer last than first off this 5 lb higher mark at Doncaster next time.
Progress stalled at Doncaster last time but unexposed and his yard are going well.

(6) Luna Magic 7.5/1, Shaped well when fourth of 12 back from a break at Newbury last month and made all in a 5-runner Chepstow handicap (1¼m, good to firm) a day later. Recent effort at Newcastle was uninspiring, though, and she'll probably find a few too good here.
Flopped on AW last week but in good form on turf beforehand; should bounce back.

(2) Brunel Charm 28/1, Good record on the AW (winner 3 times and placed on 14 occasions from 30 starts on synthetics) but his 5 runs on turf have not amounted to much.
Fair winner on AW but yet to convince on turf; others look more persuasive.

Keeper's Choice

66/1(-65%)
(8) Keeper's Choice 66/1, Went close off 10 lb higher at Chester last summer but has failed to reproduce that level of form since, including when last of 10 on return at Bath in May, and she's on a losing-run stretching back over 2 years.
Low-key return in May; down in weights but coming here with too much to prove.
9
11th (9) Sir Plato (50/1 +24%)
Sir Plato

50/1(+24%)
(9) Sir Plato 50/1, Winner off this mark at Chepstow for Rod Millman last June and also placed on a number of occasions in 2022. Little impact in 3 starts for present connections, though, and needs to bounce back in a major way.
Prolific for former yard but three heavy defeats for his current one.
LTO Selection:

17:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MARSH BENHAM is two wins from his last two starts, with the latest of those wins coming at Brighton over 7f, where he went in by just under two lengths and was well on top at the line. Hoots Toots could get competitive if he runs to the level of his penultimate success at Thirsk, while you can also make a good case for Luna Magic if she can recapture the form of her comfortable Chepstow success.

Though winless following 14 attempts, BRILLIANT BLUE is of strong interest back at a mile. Indeed, the 4-y-o shaped well on his first 2 starts of the season prior to appearing to run out of petrol in the closing stages upped to 1¼m at Lingfield. Goldsmith merits respect for all that he's yet to shine on turf. Roman Dynasty would obviously be a huge player if he were to line up for this (due to run at Yarmouth Thursday).

Hoots Toots could get back on the up here but the hat-trick seeking MARSH BENHAM is preferred.

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.
