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

ALAZWAR was a close third in a similar event at Newbury a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose off the same mark here. Piecederesistance hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, while Fast Steps edges out Obsidian Knight to be best of the rest.

A trappy opening contest to solve but preference is for FAST STEPS, who has been a shade disappointing since making a winning return in May but can get back to winning ways having landed this corresponding event 12 months ago. Alazwar arrives in good nick so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Piecederesistance and Obsidian Knight can do battle for third spot.

Most of these have questions regarding their current form and/or their suitability to this trip so the suggestion is PIECEDERESISTANCE.

18:15 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BATAL ZABEEL was beaten a neck into second at Ayr last time by a rival who has already been placed twice at Listed level. Kevin Ryan's colt may improve for the application of first-time blinkers and he is likely to be hard to beat if doing so. Nazron has made the frame in both previous starts and is likely to do so once again, while Government Call and Mr Wonderful are others to note.

NAZRON is more than capable of winning a maiden and this looks a good opportunity for the son of Dark Angel. Batal Zabeel has got better with each run and arguably should have won at Ayr last time, so is feared most ahead of Government Call.

Although twice a beaten favourite NAZRON looks to have the best form and can make it third time lucky.

18:45 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

STATE OF DESIRE confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when filling second place over 7f at Haydock last month and the step up in trip could see the son of Frankel go one better here. Defiance is a noteworthy newcomer having cost 190,000gns as a yearling and he is from the family of the St Leger winner Mastery. Fool's Paradise and Stratocracy also merit market inspections, while Caviar Heights is entitled to improve for his first start.

STATE OF DESIRE has shown promise both starts and should be up to winning one of these. Caviar Heights was an expensive yearling and seems sure to step up on a promising debut fourth at this venue. Defiance is the newcomer that really catches the eye on paper.

Perhaps Frankel colt STATE OF DESIRE can make it third time lucky with the step up to 1m likely to play to his strengths.

Carbis Bay has shown plenty of promise in three qualifying runs, most notably when a half-length second over this trip at Newcastle last time, but an opening mark of 82 leaves with him no margin for error and fellow handicap debutant MUKTAMIL could be better treated off 74. The selection looked crying out for further when a staying-on fourth over 1m at Salisbury on his latest outing 315 days ago and that form has worked very well, with the winner placing in the Ribblesdale and finishing a close second in the Irish Oaks this year. The layoff is an obvious concern for Marcus Tregoning's gelding, but he looks potentially very well treated. Theme Park and Mlle Chanel are others to consider.

It's taken connections of MUKTAMIL a while to get him back to the track this year but he's very much the type to make a better 3-y-o, particularly over this trip. He's therefore awarded the vote in favour of Theme Park and Beccara Rose.

The vote goes the way of northern raider THEME PARK, who is unexposed at this trip and takes a slight drop in class here.

19:45 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Tough Enough has strong claims on his Windsor victory before a good effort in a valuable handicap at Newmarket off this mark on his latest outing, but they were on fast ground and over 6f, so preference is for RIOT. Winner of a similar event to this at Doncaster off 2lb lower last month, David O'Meara's gelding ran well in defeat off his revised rating at York 13 days ago and is proven with cut in the ground. Toussarok has slipped to an attractive mark and should appreciate the return to 7f.

TOUGH ENOUGH shaped well in a deep race at Newmarket 4 weeks ago and, with the step up to 7f likely to be in range, he's well worth siding with to resume winning ways, especially now returned to much calmer waters. Riot fared best of those held up on his most recent outing at York and remains well treated on old form, with Chola Empire completing the shortlist.

If TOUGH ENOUGH (nap) doesn't pull his chance away stepping up to 7f for the first time he should take some stopping.

20:15 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Kevin Philippart De Foy has his string in sparkling form at present and could add to his tally here courtesy of D DAY ODETTE, who has only gone up 2lb for her 1m victory at Salisbury last time and that form has been boosted by the runner-up scoring since. However, there are plenty of dangers in a tricky handicap, most notably Roman Dynasty, who has been knocking on the door in recent outings, and Chifa, who only found one too good when bidding for a double at Bath last month.

Claims can be made for most and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on SOUTHWOLD. He arrives with fewer miles on the clock than most and, with cheekpieces now reached for/William Buick on for the first time, it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing with his yard boasting a good strike rate at this venue. Salisbury-scorer D Day Odette, Grey Fox and Roman Dynasty head the dangers, with Rival another not out of things.

The unexposed SOUTHWOLD leaves the impression he may benefit from today's first-time cheekpieces and can resume his progression.
