Maywake

6.5
6.5/1(+46%)
(4) Maywake 6.5/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (7f, heavy). Shaped as if still in good form when fifth at Windsor since.
Has had a good season, including easy 7f win last month; possibly stretched by 1m since.
11
2nd (11) King Cabo (3.33/1 +76%)
King Cabo

3.33
3.33/1(+76%)
(11) King Cabo 3.33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in May. Bang there 3 of next 4 starts but this represents a step up in class.
Front-runner; won over 7f at Lingfield (turf) in May and has remained in form.
1
3rd (1) Indemnify (5.5/1 -38%)
Indemnify

5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(1) Indemnify 5.5/1, Off 8 months before cosily landing 9-runner handicap at Newmarket on his final run for Roger Varian. Best effort for current yard when good fourth here (1m) 2 weeks ago, denied a clear run and finishing with running left. Player off same mark.
1m course scorer; twice shaped well back here (1m again) since joining new yard; respected.

4th (2) Final Watch (8/1 +43%)
Final Watch

8
8/1(+43%)
(2) Final Watch 8/1, As good as ever when scoring at Newmarket but not in same form there following week, possibly finding the race coming too soon. Type to bounce back after a break.
Won at Newmarket (7f) in July; run possibly came too soon when only sixth eight days later.
3
5th (3) Amber Island (33/1 -408%)
Amber Island

33
33/1(-408%)
(3) Amber Island 33/1, 28/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 88 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Ernie's Valentine. Isn't an obvious type to follow up with the headgear not guaranteed to have the same effect.
Seventh 7f win at Leicester in June; off since and 3lb above highest winning mark.
8
6th (8) Ernie's Valentine (8.5/1 -21%)
Ernie's Valentine

8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(8) Ernie's Valentine 8.5/1, Losing run is mounting up but mark continues to ease and shaping better than bare result of late. Not taken lightly.
Well treated on 7f turf form in May/June and Oisin Murphy a good booking; considered.
9

Youarenotforgiven

16
16/1(+20%)
(9) Youarenotforgiven 16/1, Improved with back-to back wins at Leicester/Newbury before finding run of good form coming to a halt at Brighton.
Two wins this summer but only seventh at Brighton latest.
10
8th (10) Alpha Capture (8/1 +0%)
Alpha Capture

8
8/1(+0%)
(10) Alpha Capture 8/1, Scored twice as a juvenile, latterly at listed level at York. Largely underperformed so far this year, however, and likely to find this too competitive.
Listed winner at 2 but a long way below that level this summer.
5
9th (5) Tough Enough (3.5/1 -40%)
Tough Enough

3.5
3.5/1(-40%)
(5) Tough Enough 3.5/1, Went the right way as a 2-y-o and struck on handicap bow back on turf after 7 months at Windsor (6f) in June. Caught further back than ideal at Newmarket next time before resuming winning ways over C&D. Remains of interest.
Progressed again to get up late on in C&D handicap 23 days ago; probably more to come.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over C&D last month, TOUGH ENOUGH remains unexposed and is fancied to follow up despite a 4lb rise for the aforementioned success. The son of Showcasing has scored in two of his three handicap starts and he can get the better of Amber Island, who seemed to benefit from the application of cheekpieces when scoring off a 4lb lower mark at Leicester in June. Youarenotforgiven also warrants a second look.

Things didn't go ideally for LYNDON B at Newmarket last time so he's worth another chance to build on his previous Newbury promise off a tempting mark. Progressive 3-y-o Tough Enough took his form to another level when scoring over C&D last month and rates the main threat ahead of Indemnify, who was a big eyecatcher here 2 weeks ago.

The Cole stable is in form, so a chance is taken on the well-handicapped ERNIE'S VALENTINE under Oisin Murphy.

1
1st (1) Heredia (2.5/1 +38%)
Heredia

2.5
2.5/1(+38%)
(1) Heredia 2.5/1, Won her first 4 starts, notably the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot in 2022. Has returned in good order and better than ever when resuming winning ways at Haydock 3 weeks ago by 3¾ lengths from Purplepay. Form pick.
Better than ever when easy winner of Haydock Listed race; open to further improvement.
10
2nd (10) Queen For You (6/1 +8%)
Queen For You

6
6/1(+8%)
(10) Queen For You 6/1, Won on her debut in striking fashion at Ascot in May and improved significantly on that form when close second in listed race at York (7.9f). Not disgraced in Coronation Stakes next time before excuses back at York 5 weeks ago. Headgear on and remains unexposed.
Has had excuses since going very close in York Listed race on second start; major player.
2
3rd (2) Potapova (6.5/1 +7%)
Potapova

6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(2) Potapova 6.5/1, Showed smart form when winning this last year. Not at that level this season, though wasn't disgraced when fifth in Group 2 at Royal Ascot last time. Needs to bounce back to her best if she's to repeat last year's win.
Won this 12 months ago; below par since but a return to Sandown may well help.
9
4th (9) Novus (25/1 +0%)
Novus

25
25/1(+0%)
(9) Novus 25/1, Progressive filly who resumed winning ways after just 2 days off in big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood. Plenty to find at this level, however.
Overcame trouble to win big-field Goodwood handicap; this is tougher but she's unexposed.
4
5th (4) Roman Mist (16/1 -14%)
Roman Mist

16
16/1(-14%)
(4) Roman Mist 16/1, Likeable mare who proved as good as ever when making winning return/yard debut in listed company at Goodwood (1m, heavy) in May. Flopped at Epsom but put that quickly behind her next 2 starts, going close in Group 3 at Ascot. Worthy of respect.
Goes well with forcing tactics; narrowly beaten in Group 3 last time; in the mix.
3
6th (3) Purplepay (11/1 -10%)
Purplepay

11
11/1(-10%)
(3) Purplepay 11/1, Won the Group 2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly last summer but not so good since, albeit running her best race for a while when 3¾ lengths second of 13 to Heredia in listed race at Haydock (8.2f, good, 11/2) 21 days ago. Place claims but work to do to reverse placings with the winner.
Well held by Heredia in Haydock Listed race; no obvious reason why she'll turn the tables.
7
7th (7) Mysterious Love (80/1 -60%)
Mysterious Love

80
80/1(-60%)
(7) Mysterious Love 80/1, Came good with emphatic Nottingham maiden win (1m, heavy) in a first-time hood in May. Highly tried after and this looks another tough ask.
Fair fifth of nine in Ascot Group 3 last time but well held by Roman Mist on that form.
8
8th (8) Nibras Angel (18/1 -50%)
Nibras Angel

18
18/1(-50%)
(8) Nibras Angel 18/1, Made it 2 from 2 in straightforward fashion when defying penalty at Thirsk 3 weeks ago. Taking a big step up in class but she looks a useful prospect.
2-2 in maiden/novice; has Group 1 entry; up sharply in grade but an intriguing contender.
5
9th (5) Coppice (5/1 -25%)
Coppice

5
5/1(-25%)
(5) Coppice 5/1, Improving in leaps and bounds and proved her opening mark was a lenient one when winning 29-runner Sandringham (6/1) at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm). Far from disgraced in Falmouth at Newmarket since and needs considering back down in class.
Progressing well before fifth in Group 1 last time; this race is easier; respected.
6
10th (6) Midnight Mile (5.5/1 +0%)
Midnight Mile

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(6) Midnight Mile 5.5/1, Caused something of a surprise when taking Oh So Sharp Stakes (7f) in October before decent fourth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Resumed progress when winning fillies' listed event in good style at York and similar form when third in Haydock Group 3. Player back against own sex.
Good runs over 1m2f+ last two starts; thereabouts again if coping with this drop in trip.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Last year's winner Potapova arrives here following a creditable effort in the Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot in June and Sir Michael Stoute's mare would be dangerous to dismiss, especially with Ryan Moore in the saddle. However, HEREDIA secured a facile win in Listed company at Haydock last month and can get the better of this field up in grade. The unexposed Queen For You sports first-time cheekpieces and could improve with that in mind, while the grade-dropping Coppice is just one other with claims.

HEREDIA took her form to another level when readily beating Purplepay in a listed race at Haydock and Richard Hannon's filly looks the one to beat on that form. Coppice was far from disgraced when tried at the highest level in the Falmouth at Newmarket and rates a big threat back down in class, with her stablemate Queen For You another to consider.

An open-looking Atalanta can go to HEREDIA who showed a sharp turn of foot to win a Listed race at Haydock three weeks ago.

11

Dual Identity

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(11) Dual Identity 4.5/1, Improved throughout 2022, including second in this race and third (first home in his group) in Cambridgeshire final outing. Probably in better heart than his 2023 form figures suggest and starting to look well handicapped.
2nd in this race last year; the recent recommendations aren't so strong this time round.
1
2nd (1) Certain Lad (22/1 -10%)
Certain Lad

22
22/1(-10%)
(1) Certain Lad 22/1, Group 3 winner in 2020 and still capable of very useful form. Latest sixth of 11 at Yarmouth was respectable and being dropped another 2 lb since can only help.
None too consistent nowadays; down the weights but has not won for three years.
7
3rd (7) Stay Well (14/1 -27%)
Stay Well

14
14/1(-27%)
(7) Stay Well 14/1, Returned to form back on AW when third at Kempton (1½m) in June. Not so good on next 2 outings but back on song when fourth of 11 at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Drops back down in trip now.
Travelled well long way when close fourth of 11 at Windsor (11.4f) on latest start.
2
4th (2) Eagle's Way (8/1 -7%)
Eagle's Way

8
8/1(-7%)
(2) Eagle's Way 8/1, Most progressive last summer, winning all 4 starts, and resumed after 10 months off with a promising second of 11 at Yarmouth in July. Presumably found the run coming too soon when only seventh of 15 at Goodwood 5 days later. Remains capable of better but the outside stall is potentially awkward.
Lesser show when favourite at Goodwood; drawn wide; probably needs to resume improvement.
12
5th (12) Dashing Roger (40/1 -43%)
Dashing Roger

40
40/1(-43%)
(12) Dashing Roger 40/1, Very useful handicapper at his peak. Seemingly not so good these days but his mark reflects that and he was a close third over this trip at Chester in May. Out of his depth in Ascot Group 2 latest.
Close third at Chester showed significant ability remains but well beaten either side.
3
6th (3) Gaassee (5.5/1 +0%)
Gaassee

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(3) Gaassee 5.5/1, Back on the up when fourth in the Old Newton Cup at Haydock on penultimate start. Didn't find much for pressure when filling the same position in a 7-runner Ascot handicap since but he still rates one of the more likely types here.
1m4f/1m6f in all of his eight handicaps but this drop back in trip is well worth a shot.
8
7th (8) Great Max (40/1 +0%)
Great Max

40
40/1(+0%)
(8) Great Max 40/1, Useful performer for Michael O'Callaghan last year. Made a positive start for Alice Haynes when fourth in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m) but not so good in 3 outings since and has changed yards again.
0-14 since 2021 win on debut; back to M Bell from Alice Haynes; heavy defeats beyond 1m.
6
8th (6) Andaleep (14/1 -27%)
Andaleep

14
14/1(-27%)
(6) Andaleep 14/1, Winner of 5 handicaps last season, including over C&D, and took form up a further notch when a decisive winner at York in July. Type to bounce back from a rare poor run at Ascot last month.
Ran poorly last time but overall record over the last two seasons needs great respect.
9
9th (9) Educator (9/1 -13%)
Educator

9
9/1(-13%)
(9) Educator 9/1, Consistent in defeat this season, including a creditable seventh of 14 in 1½m York handicap last week. First-time blinkers worn on that occasion are retained now dropping back in trip.
No win since handicap debut in April 2022; went down narrowly on AW three starts back.
13
10th (13) Skysail (22/1 -10%)
Skysail

22
22/1(-10%)
(13) Skysail 22/1, Showed much improved form in first-time blinkers when making a successful handicap debut at Goodwood (1m) on his reappearance. Also a good second at Ascot (1m again) in July but needs to shrug off a lesser run back at Goodwood. First attempt at 1¼m.
Best efforts as 3yo in first-time blinkers/cheekpieces; didn't shout that 1m2f is needed.
4
11th (4) Lord Protector (3.33/1 +45%)
Lord Protector

3.33
3.33/1(+45%)
(4) Lord Protector 3.33/1, Added to his very good C&D record when seeing off 12 rivals in another Class 2 event in July. Shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 15 at Glorious Goodwood and much respected back here for a yard going great guns.
Two wins and a second from his three outings at Sandown; below form at Goodwood latest.
5
12th (5) Groundbreaker (14/1 +0%)
Groundbreaker

14
14/1(+0%)
(5) Groundbreaker 14/1, Showed he retains his ability when fourth on his Chester reappearance in May but absent since a lesser run at Chelmsford 4 weeks later, not helping his cause by hanging badly left. Bounce back needed after wind surgery.
Ran creditably on reappearance; disappointing next time and given wind surgery soon after.
14
13th (14) Baltic Voyage (12/1 +14%)
Baltic Voyage

12
12/1(+14%)
(14) Baltic Voyage 12/1, Got back on the up with his breakthrough win in 8-runner handicap at Ripon (1¼m, soft) in July. Found himself too far back at Glorious Goodwood next time and best forgiven that.
Ripon win; 11-1 at Glorious Goodwood (again 1m2f on soft) but well beaten, hanging right.
10
14th (10) Kitsune Power (25/1 +24%)
Kitsune Power

25
25/1(+24%)
(10) Kitsune Power 25/1, Progressed quite well at 3 but he has just one creditable effort to show from his 4 outings this season, blinkers making no difference last time. Below his last winning mark but need to see more.
Not nearly so productive this year; 7lb lower than on reappearance, but others preferred.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest in which a chance can be taken with DASHING ROGER, who reverts to handicapping after being well beaten in the Summer Mile at Ascot in July. He retains the mark from a decent third over an extended 1m2f at Chester on his penultimate run and gets the vote at the main expense of Stay Well, who can take advantage of a drop in trip following a fair fourth over an extended 1m3f last month. Eagle's Way was a beaten favourite in the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood most recently but could bounce back.

A chance is taken on DUAL IDENTITY who was runner-up in this race off a similar mark last year and is probably in better form than his finishing positions at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood might suggest. Lord Protector has 2 wins and a close second to show for his 3 previous outings over C&D so he's an obvious threat for in-form Ralph Beckett. Gaassee and Eagle's Way, assuming stall 14 isn't too much of an inconvenience, are others to consider.

Lord Protector has a big shout but watch out also for GAASSEE (nap) and Stay Well on their return to 1m2f from longer distances.

1.75/1(+56%)
(1) Aablan 1.75/1, Dubawi colt who was sent off at 4-7 when making a winning debut at Newmarket (7f, good) 35 days ago. That's a race his yard has run a few smart ones in over the years and he looks sure to go on to better things.

Easy winner at Ffos Las; has lots of potential and worth his place in this higher grade.

Unbeaten at Hamilton and Ayr; up in grade and will need another jolt of improvement.
LTO Selection:

15:38 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The well-bred STARLORE made the perfect start to his career when scoring over C&D a couple of months ago. Sir Michael Stoute's charge scored by a nose on that occasion but he's likely to be wiser for that experience and he can take another step forward here. Mortlake is feared most after a comfortable five-lengths success over 7f at Leicester, while the Newmarket winner Aablan could be an exciting two-year-old for Godolphin.

MORTLAKE was impressive at Leicester last time and can take the step up to pattern level in his stride for a yard which can do little wrong at present. Starlore and Aablan both looked nice prospects for top stables when making winning debuts, the former over this C&D, and they could be the pair to give the selection most to think about.

Top of the list is AABLAN, open to stacks of improvement after a winning debut at Newmarket, with Starlore feared most.

Gave trouble in the preliminaries and beat only one home when eighth in AW maiden.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Sandown Maiden (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CLASSICAL SONG made a very pleasing start to her career when second over 7f at Goodwood a month ago and this looks like a good opportunity to go one better. That form was franked when the winner was second in a Group 2 at Deauville subsequently and Ralph Beckett's filly is hard to oppose. Beautiful Love also commands respect for Charlie Appleby after a promising third on debut over 7f at Newmarket, while Skywoman is an interesting debutant.

CLASSICAL SONG shaped like a winner in waiting when runner-up on her debut at Glorious Goodwood. The winner of that race was second in a Group 2 in France next time and this daughter of Lope de Vega can strike at the second time of asking. Godolphin's Beautiful Love looks the chief threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers such as Inherit and/or Skywoman.

Green early and full of running late on, BEAUTIFUL LOVE made a promising debut at Newmarket three weeks ago and can get off the mark.

Spanish Blaze

3
3/1(+14%)
(7) Spanish Blaze 3/1, Left debut form well behind when taking minor event at Newbury (6f) in July and ran to similar level when third at Yarmouth (7f) since. May have more to offer on handicap bow.
6f win at Newbury and creditable third over 7f since; respected on nursery debut.

Rating

16
16/1(+52%)
(8) Rating 16/1, Ran to a fair level on second start at Kempton in June but hasn't built on that since, albeit she wasn't seen to best effect on nursery debut at Newmarket a fortnight ago.
Met trouble at a crucial stage on 7f nursery debut latest; yard's 2yos going pretty well.

3rd (3) Eminny (4/1 +11%)
Eminny

4/1(+11%)
(3) Eminny 4/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning novice at Beverley (7.4f) in July and didn't have to improve much when following up on nursery bow at Leicester (7f). Far from disgraced in defeat since and ought to make presence felt again.
Two wins around 7f and fair runs in 6f nurseries last twice; ought to be competitive.

4th (2) Inner City (3/1 +10%)
Inner City

3
3/1(+10%)
(2) Inner City 3/1, Made encouraging start at Yarmouth in June but not progressed since and was particularly disappointing at Epsom last time. Gelded since and needs to bounce back on handicap bow.
Promise first two starts; gelded since odds-on flop at Epsom in July; nursery debut.

11/1(-10%)
(6) Doddie's Impact 11/1, Made winning start in 16-runner Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, heavy) in April but not been in same form for new yard since and has something to prove at present.
Won on debut in April but twice well held for new yard since; needs to bounce back.

Takeover Target

33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Takeover Target 33/1, Showed more than previously when fourth of 5 in minor event (80/1) at Chester (7f, heavy) 27 days ago. Likely to face different conditions here but remains low mileage and can't be ruled out on handicap debut.
Left first two runs behind when fourth in 7f Chester novice latest; mark looks feasible.

7th (1) Savvy Kingdom (9/1 -29%)
Savvy Kingdom

9
9/1(-29%)
(1) Savvy Kingdom 9/1, Relished switch to front-running tactics when opening account in 11-runner minor event at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago. More required on handicap debut here but could be dangerous if getting loose on the lead.
Made all over 7f on AW latest; opening mark demands more but he could find it.
5
8th (5) Cheeky Blimey (10/1 -11%)
Cheeky Blimey

10
10/1(-11%)
(5) Cheeky Blimey 10/1, Thrice-raced colt. Down the field at Nottingham last month but had shown fair form when reaching the frame on his 2 outings prior to that and warrants respect on switch to handicapping.
Promise on first two starts but disappointing latest; goes up to 7f for nursery debut.
4
9th (4) Paladin (11/1 -38%)
Paladin

11
11/1(-38%)
(4) Paladin 11/1, Off the mark at the third attempt when making most in 9-runner minor event at Haydock (7f, soft) in July. Run badly over same C&D since but yard is in better form now and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore.
Won 7f novice on soft in July; poor in nursery since but could bounce back under Moore.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INNER CITY has a long way to go to justify his 1,100,000gns price tag but the son of Dubawi has shown promise in novice/maiden company and a recent gelding operation could help him to get off the mark here. Savvy Kingdom won a modest-looking novice event at Kempton last time but he commands respect, while Paladin and Spanish Blaze complete the shortlist.

Preference is for SPANISH BLAZE, who backed up his Newbury victory with a good third at Yarmouth last month and could have to more give yet. Savvy Kingdom and Eminny should also go well.

Rathbone

14
14/1(+13%)
(10) Rathbone 14/1, Yet to score this term but plenty of respectable efforts for current yard. Others make more appeal for win purposes, however.
No nearer than seventh on last three outings; needs to get back on track.

2nd (1) Spring Bloom (5/1 +17%)
Spring Bloom

5
5/1(+17%)
(1) Spring Bloom 5/1, Resumed winning ways at Newmarket (5f, good) in May. Well below form on next 2 outings but bounced back when going close last 2 starts, including over C&D 2 weeks ago, nearest finish. Could be the answer back down in class.
Goes well here, has his optimum conditions and should be in the thick of things again.
12
3rd (12) Beyond Equal (14/1 -27%)
Beyond Equal

14
14/1(-27%)
(12) Beyond Equal 14/1, On a handy mark nowadays and was possibly a shade unlucky not to win given the traffic issues he encountered at Bath 2 weeks ago. Shortlisted,
4th in this 12 months ago off 10lb higher; unlucky second at Bath last time; interesting.

4th (5) Mojomaker (5/1 +17%)
Mojomaker

5
5/1(+17%)
(5) Mojomaker 5/1, Has had plenty of chances in handicaps but he arrives on the back of a couple of good placed efforts and mark has eased another 1 lb, Considered.
Knocking firmly at the door and sole win came over C&D; should give usual good account.
9
5th (9) Buccabay (8.5/1 -42%)
Buccabay

8.5
8.5/1(-42%)
(9) Buccabay 8.5/1, Mark was initially too high but was a good fourth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently.
Unplaced in five handicaps this season but this drop to 5f may suit; has possibilities.
11
6th (11) Just Glamorous (22/1 -22%)
Just Glamorous

22
22/1(-22%)
(11) Just Glamorous 22/1, Back to form after 10 months off when winning at Salisbury in June. Failed to repeat that next 2 starts but latest fourth at Chepstow was at least a respectable effort.
Made a winning return in veterans' race at Salisbury in June; hasn't repeated the form.
4
7th (4) Safari Dream (5.5/1 +15%)
Safari Dream

5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(4) Safari Dream 5.5/1, Dual 5f winner at 2 and has shown he's trained on when third in handicaps at Goodwood (5f, heavy) and Leicester (6f, good to firm) this spring. Down the field in first-time cheekpieces at York since and headgear left off this time.
Won three on the bounce last year but arrives after 11 weeks off following a below-par run.
8
8th (8) Twilight Madness (33/1 -32%)
Twilight Madness

33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Twilight Madness 33/1, Good effort at Epsom on return but hasn't really gone on since, though left poorly placed at Haydock latest. Cheekpieces back on.
Beat only one home last time; needs to be revived by the return of headgear.
2
9th (2) Brave Nation (28/1 +15%)
Brave Nation

28
28/1(+15%)
(2) Brave Nation 28/1, Hasn't gone on since finishing fourth in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on his second start, faring no better having been gelded in the Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap back at Ascot this year. Has plenty to prove at present.
Promising 2yo at 5f but well held in three sprint handicaps this year; carries risks.
6
10th (6) Clipsham La Habana (7/1 +0%)
Clipsham La Habana

7
7/1(+0%)
(6) Clipsham La Habana 7/1, Arrives in good nick, third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more off the same mark.
Third in competitive Racing League event at Windsor; player again off the same mark.
3
11th (3) Swift Asset (10/1 -122%)
Swift Asset

10
10/1(-122%)
(3) Swift Asset 10/1, Built on Goodwood second when going one better at Bath (5.7f) and ran well on the back of a 4 lb rise when runner-up at Brighton (5.3f, good) 24 days ago. Likely to go well again.
In good form and Ryan Moore is a positive booking; unlikely to be far away.
7
12th (7) Simple Man (5.5/1 +35%)
Simple Man

5.5
5.5/1(+35%)
(7) Simple Man 5.5/1, Rare winning-debutant for his trainer when impressing in Nottingham maiden (5f) in September. Beat only one in Doncaster listed event following month but made an encouraging return when close second in Goodwood handicap in May. Remains unexposed.
Less exposed than most of these; short-headed at Goodwood on reappearance; considered.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Mojomaker has been running well enough since returning from a break and, off 1lb lower than last week's respectable second at Hamilton, he holds solid claims once again. Similar comments apply to Swift Asset, whose recent efforts offer plenty of encouragement. However, there was only half a length between him and CLIPSHAM LA HABANA (second) when he won at Bath in July and, off 4lb better terms, the latter is fancied to turn the form around.

Plenty to consider but SPRING BLOOM went close in a class 3 over C&D 2 weeks ago so could be the answer back down in grade. Mojomaker and Beyond Equal head the dangers.

In a competitive race, Buccabay is interesting down in trip but BEYOND EQUAL earns the selection after an unlucky second last time.

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.
