5
1st (5) Harb (10/3 +45%)
Harb

3.333333
10/3(+45%)
(5) Harb 10/3, In good form prior to failing to get home at Brighton (8f, good) 6 weeks ago. Significantly back down in trip and is a must for the shortlist returned to this grade.
Yet to win on turf but handles soft and return to sprinting should be in favour.
6
2nd (6) Bang On The Bell (5/1 +33%)
Bang On The Bell

5
5/1(+33%)
(6) Bang On The Bell 5/1, Capitalised on falling mark when scoring at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) last month but had little go right when down the field at Wolverhampton (5.1f) subsequently. 4 lb higher returned to turf and others look to have stronger claims.
Below best on AW last time but may do better from lower turf mark back on grass.
8
3rd (8) Firenze Rosa (10/1 -25%)
Firenze Rosa

10
10/1(-25%)
(8) Firenze Rosa 10/1, Opened her account for the year having dropped back down to last winning mark at Lingfield (6f, heavy) last month and possibly found the race coming too soon under a penalty 5 days on at Salisbury next time. Freshened up since, so could have a say in proceedings.
Handles a sound surface but wasn't at best last time; may do better back on soft ground.
1
4th (1) Exquisitely (4/1 -78%)
Exquisitely

4
4/1(-78%)
(1) Exquisitely 4/1, Opened account at seventh attempt, on debut for new yard, when landing 4-runner handicap at Ffos Las (5f, heavy) last month. Ran at least as well in defeat when going down by a nose at Goodwood since and she should be bang there once again.
Improved form after four-month break on last two starts; likely to go well once again.
7
5th (7) Papabella (16/1 +20%)
Papabella

16
16/1(+20%)
(7) Papabella 16/1, Went backwards from reappearance when last on handicap debut at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 22/1) 3 months ago so she's tough to support for all it remains early days.
Promise on debut last April but hasn't built on that and has to show she handles soft.
4
6th (4) Mary Of Modena (6/1 -33%)
Mary Of Modena

6
6/1(-33%)
(4) Mary Of Modena 6/1, Returned to form when narrowly taking 5-runner handicap at Newmarket last month and wasn't disgraced attempting to follow up when third at Goodwood (5f, good) 20 days later. Can give another good account.
Decent strike-rate on turf and likes soft ground; bit to find with Exquisitely on last run.
2
7th (2) Trusty Rusty (7/2 +42%)
Trusty Rusty

3.5
7/2(+42%)
(2) Trusty Rusty 7/2, In good nick on AW last winter but has finished well held on both recent starts on turf (latest in a better race than she need contest over C&D). Has been dropped 3 lb and with Murphy an eye-catching booking, there's every chance she will be in the mix back in class 5 company.
Multiple turf/AW winner but best form has been on AW or better ground; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

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

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

EXQUISITELY has stepped forward since joining her current stable, following a win at Ffos Las with a last-gasp Goodwood defeat. She appears to have more to offer and is expected to confirm her latest effort with Mary Of Modena. The latter has scored twice on soft ground this season, though, and still commands plenty of respect, while others to note include Firenze Rosa and Bang On The Bell.

A tricky opener to solve but a chance is taken on TRUSTY RUSTY, who is back in a more suitable grade and with the booking of Oisin Murphy catching the eye, Tony Carroll's 6-y-o gets the nod to record her sixth career success. Exquisitely has taken her form up a notch since joining Jonny Portman so she may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Harb, who should give a good account back sprinting.

This can go to EXQUISITELY, who has shown improved form on her last two starts and should have no problems with the ground.

(4) Go Daddy 33/1, Promising start when third in a 7f novice but not in the same form when eighth of 9 in novice event (11/4) at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft) 26 days ago.
Promising here (7f, heavy) but flopped when favourite at Ffos Las (7.3f, good to soft).
10
3rd (10) Whiskey Pete (8/11 +51%)
Whiskey Pete

0.727273
8/11(+51%)
(10) Whiskey Pete 8/11, Shaped very well when runner-up on debut at Newmarket. Sent off 4/5 to go one place better but could manage only third of 8 in novice event at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago, needing stiffer test. Will take the beating.
Best form in this judged on both starts, 4-5 latest; looks well equipped for stamina test.
8
4th (8) Superposition (9/1 +0%)
Superposition

9
9/1(+0%)
(8) Superposition 9/1, Promising sort. Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise when third of 8 in novice event (11/10) at Southwell (7.1f) 23 days ago. Should improve over 1m.
Fair form when beaten about 2l over 7f at Newmarket and Southwell (AW; 4-5, flashed tail).
5
5th (5) Kingdom Of Time (6/1 -33%)
Kingdom Of Time

6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Kingdom Of Time 6/1, Foaled March 2. 800,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt out of French 1¼m winner, herself a sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Highland Reel. Just a fair start when fourth at Newmarket a month ago and he's surely capable of better. Tongue tied.
800,000gns buy; fine pedigree; needs to build on Newmarket show but has to be considered.

6th (1) A La Noche (25/1 +0%)
A La Noche

(1) A La Noche 25/1, 300,000 gns foal, Lope De Vega half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Donnybrook and useful winner up to 8.2f Sky Angel, from good family. Low-key start in a brace of maidens last month.
Showed some ability both starts but a good deal more is needed.

150,000euros buy, by Zoffany; others are a bit more striking but he's worth a market check.

(6) Muttasil 16/1, Foaled February 23. Kingman colt. Dam, 2-y-o 7.5f winner, half-sister to high-class 1m winner Tamayuz.
Kingman colt who's perhaps best watched this time, given it should be a warm race.

By Sea The Stars; needs a close look despite probably being much more for the long term.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Sandown Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Ralph Beckett has enjoyed a strong season with his juveniles and WHISKEY PETE appears more than capable of shedding his maiden tag at the third attempt. Bred to stay well, as a half-brother to Candleford and Atty Persse, he has made the frame at Newmarket and Haydock, and the stiffer test of stamina on this occasion is likely to yield further progression. Kingdom Of Time finished fourth at Newmarket on debut and is entitled to step forward with a tongue-tie now applied. Dambuster boasts a smart pedigree and has to be respected, as does Always A Star.

Despite failing to land the odds at Haydock last month, WHISKEY PETE ran another promising race and with that contest working out well, he's more than capable of winning a maiden. The step up to 1m is sure to suit Superposition and he's a threat, with 750,000 gns Kingman newcomer Dambuster an obvious type on paper.

The best option among those who have raced looks to be WHISKEY PETE, given he has assured stamina and the best form.

(3) Duke's Command 9/2, Foaled March 3. 1,600,000 gns yearling, Dubawi colt. Dam, placed up to 8.5f, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (1000 Guineas/Oaks) Minding, Oaks winner Tuesday and Irish 1000 Guineas winner Empress Josephine. Likely type.
1,600,000gns yearling by Dubawi; dam placed sister to three Group 1 winners out of another.

Navy Jack

2.25
9/4(+59%)
(9) Navy Jack 9/4, Bettered debut run when beaten only by a subsequent listed winner in C&D maiden (soft). Disappointed at Newbury since but worth another chance.
2nd here (7f, soft) on second start but flopped as favourite at Newbury (7f, good to soft).
8
2nd (8) Kings Valley (6/1 +0%)
Kings Valley

6
6/1(+0%)
(8) Kings Valley 6/1, Promising third (length behind Navy Jack) of 10 in C&D maiden (soft) on debut, travelling well long way. Well held at York since but worth another chance.
Stacks of promise here on debut (7f, soft); possible excuse in valuable maiden at York.

By Zoffany; from major yard and interesting if there's market strength behind him.

Highland Slipper

20
20/1(+50%)
(5) Highland Slipper 20/1, 10,000 gns yearling, Highland Reel colt. Dam, maiden (best at 7f), half-sister to useful 7f-9f winner King's Slipper. Fifth of 11 in novice at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 150/1) on debut 28 days ago. Should have more to offer.
Showed promise in fifth of 11 at Leicester (7f) but this race is probably a stiff task.
12

The Line

3.333333
10/3(+49%)
(12) The Line 10/3, Caravaggio colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Mild Illusion. Displayed plenty of ability amidst inexperience when third in 5-runner Ascot conditions' event (5f) on debut in May. Not raced since (withdrawn after giving trouble at stalls twice and has been gelded). May progress.
Third of five at Ascot (5f, good) in May; problems at the stalls since and has been gelded.

16,000gns yearling buy; brother to 5f/6f 2yo winner Illuminate (RPR 113); late foal.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Sandown Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

THE LINE made a promising start to his career when third over 5f at Ascot in May and the son of Caravaggio, who has been gelded since, is expected to benefit from stepping up in trip, given the manner of his finishing effort. Navy Jack was disappointing when a beaten favourite at Newbury, but he is better judged on his C&D second the time before. Winterfair, whose dam is a half-sister to Camelot, and Duke's Command appeal most of the newcomers.

NAVY JACK's standout effort came when runner-up in a C&D maiden under similar conditions and he sets a decent standard if able to repeat that. Winterfair holds an entry in the Fillies' Mile so is a newcomer to note, with Duke's Command another likely type.

Kings Valley may prove the pick of those who have run but newcomers DUKE'S COMMAND and Winterfair look good on paper.

Chindit

3.5
7/2(-17%)
(1) Chindit 7/2, Won Ascot listed on reappearance in May. Excellent second in the Lockinge at Newbury next time and bettered even that form when back to winning ways in 1m Haydock Group 3 recently. Has a 5 lb penalty to shoulder but a potential class act at this level.

Breege

6.5
13/2(+28%)
(9) Breege 13/2, Much improved when second in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and Group 3 Oak Tree at Glorious Goodwood. Probably found the run coming too soon only 10 days on from Goodwood when only fifth in Haydock listed latest. Freshened up since. Capable of bouncing back.
7
5th (7) Silver Sword (12/1 +52%)
Silver Sword

12/1(+52%)
(7) Silver Sword 12/1, Refused to race on first 2 starts but hard to knock since then, landing Southwell maiden in the spring and handicaps at Pontefract and York during the summer (all 1m). A fair bit more will be needed now stepping up to listed level, though.
8

6

Lord Of Biscay

8.5
17/2(+23%)
(6) Lord Of Biscay 17/2, Won 2 novice events, producing a very useful performance when defying a penalty on his 1m Nottingham reappearance in June. Respectable fourth of 12 in 1m Chantilly listed race since and may not have reached his limit after only 4 career starts.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Chindit was a commanding winner of the Superior Mile at Haydock but while he merits respect, Richard Hannon's entire might struggle to concede 9lb to the unexposed KNIGHT. The son of Mehmas was collared late on in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood but first-time cheekpieces could eke out further improvement, and he won the Horris Hill in testing ground around this time last year. The returning Sir Busker can follow the pair home.

KNIGHT produced a really smart performance when second in the Celebration Mile at Goodwood last time and is taken to make the most of the weight he receives from recent Haydock Group 3 scorer Chindit. Last year's 2000 Guineas fourth Eydon would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on his much-awaited return to the track.

A chance is taken that KNIGHT will benefit from the headgear, after it looked like he still had something to learn last time out.

Second at Ascot (1m, good to soft); possibly unsuited by Wolverhampton AW latest outing.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in class wasn't enough to prevent the ultra-progressive EASTERN CHARM from completing a five-timer at Ripon and a further 3lb hike in the ratings might not be enough to stop William Haggas' filly from winning again. Classic Times sports a first-time hood and is a likely improver now switched to handicaps. Tango Tonight, who hit the crossbar here last month, is another to consider.

EASTERN CHARM continued her habit of just doing enough when scoring at Ripon earlier this month and remains fairly treated as a result. She can extend her winning run. Classic Times shaped well at Wolverhampton last month and is feared most on her handicap bow, whilst Film Star is also much respected.

Win number seven this season may well be on its way for EASTERN CHARM. The unexposed handicap newcomer Classic Times is feared most.

(7) Miller Spirit 5/1, Still looked a work in progress on his first start after being gelded when fifth of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 9/1) 13 days ago. Place claims if cheekpieces have a positive effect.
C&D fourth on penultimate start was probably his best form; cheekpieces are given a go.

(2) Goldsborough 11/2, Left debut form well behind when making second start a winning one at Goodwood in May but went off a big price and looked a hard ride when only thirteenth of 15 on his handicap debut there 48 days ago. Hood now goes on.
Winning a maiden at Goodwood (1m, heavy) in May is far miles better than his other runs.

Others still preferred on balance, though.
Tailed off on handicap debut on latest when running on good to firm; off 105 days since.

13/2(+13%)
(6) In The Trenches 13/2, Showed improved form stepped up in trip when second of 6 on handicap debut at Chepstow (10f, good to firm, 5/2) 110 days ago. Has another break to overcome, but he could still have more to offer and he's not taken lightly.
Handicap debut when 2nd of 6 at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) in June latest, making most.

New Dayrell

6/1(+70%)
(5) New Dayrell 6/1, Seen to good effect under front-running tactics when making all over C&D last month but hasn't been able to replicate that form in stiffer company on his last 2 outings. Ease in grade rates as a plus but his record is patchy enough on balance.
Sole win was over C&D from the front in amateur event; that's unreliable and he's oppsable.
LTO Selection:

16:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BORN RULER won with plenty in hand over C&D last Friday and could make light work of a 6lb penalty. Star Ahoy, who has improved with each run, has been gelded since breaking through in a Pontefract maiden and may have more to come now entering handicaps off what looks a fair mark. He is feared most, ahead of Miss Dolly Rocker, who found only a progressive rival too strong in a competitive event at Chepstow.

BORN RULER has the look of a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and he's fancied to supplement last week's C&D success under a penalty. Star Ahoy didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Pontefract last time and is much respected now switched into handicap company, whilst Outgun and In The Trenches both possess positive profiles and shouldn't be ruled out.

While most have plausible each-way claims, the one to beat appears to be BORN RULER (nap) who ended up well on top of C&D last Friday.

Kamanika

4/1(-78%)
(6) Kamanika 4/1, Has held her form well so far this term, scoring at Nottingham and Leicester over this trip. Solid third at Newmarket last time and every reason to think she'll run with credit once more.
Looks fairly exposed after 11 starts but best form last time and probably on the premises.

Kynsa

(5) Kynsa 5/1, Shaped well at Ffos Las on penultimate start and is probably best excused a blip there last time. Should be back on her game, so likely to be on the premises.
The move up to 1m2f did not work out at Ffos Las on latest outing when 5-4 favourite.

Cherryhawk

11/2(+50%)
(9) Cherryhawk 11/2, Fair maiden who isn't really progressing and might need a bit more help from the handicapper before she's opening her account.
Beaten only 4l after three months off on latest (1m3f, AW), albeit in only ninth of 13.

14/1(+13%)
(2) Leitzel 14/1, Won here on first 2 starts but hasn't gone on as hoped in handicaps this year, failing to beat a rival at Haydock last time. Bit to prove.
Has struggled in handicaps on various ground this summer; 13lb lower than on reappearance.

10/1(+44%)
(3) Emma Emilleen 10/1, Fairly useful form at best but hasn't kicked on from a progressive start to her career, running no sort of race on handicap debut at Newmarket last time. Others make more appeal.
6-1, remote on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing.

Bletchley Storm

3.2
16/5(+4%)
(10) Bletchley Storm 16/5, Lightly raced and has shown promise on each of her three starts in handicaps, travelling smoothly when third at Southwell back from a break recently. Warrants plenty of respect.
Placed on soft/AW in all three handicaps; made late headway over 1m3f latest after layoff.

7th (4) Al Hargah (5/1 +23%)
Al Hargah

5/1(+23%)
(4) Al Hargah 5/1, Has held form well equipped with blinkers, career best when landing 7-runner handicap at Newbury (10f, good, 85/40) in August and far from disgraced when third at Leicester 8 days ago. Should give another good account.
Two wins this summer; form dipped on soft last Tuesday but major player if bouncing back.

12/1(+33%)
(1) Switchel 12/1, Upped her game when second in a heavy-ground maiden at Nottingham in May. Disappointing at Kempton since but up in trip/tongue tied after a break, so could get back on track.
80-1 when last of 11 on handicap debut (1m, AW) in June; off since; tongue-tie now.

Fair maiden for James Horton; below form at 1m2f latest and sold for 3,000gns since.

(11) Lady Of Nepal 150/1, Yet to offer much in the way of encouragement and seems unlikely to feature in this.
100-1 when no show on handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW) behind Bletchley Storm.
LTO Selection:

17:25 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KAMANIKA is only 2lb higher than for her close-up third at Newmarket and looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to go two places better. Al Hargah was unable to complete a double when weakening late on in a class 4 event at Leicester, but she ran well enough to suggest that she can get involved on the return to 0-70 company. Bletchley Storm and Kynsa are also worth a second look.

BLETCHLEY STORM is still unexposed and shaped nicely (travelled well) when third at Southwell last time. Back down in trip, she's fancied to improve enough to get the better of Kamanika and Al Hargah, who both arrive in good order.

Kamanika looks the most solid to run well but may prove vulnerable to BLETCHLEY STORM.

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.
