12:30 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Kansas Du Berlais did well last season, with two wins from five starts after wind surgery, and is respected off 1lb lower than when last seen in a series final here in April. Corey's Courage was successful when last seen and a 7lb higher rating looks fair given her wide-margin victory that day. Nevertheless, OPERATION MANNA, who has won when fresh before, edges the vote on these terms.

Paul Nicholls and Freddie Gingell combined to win this race last year and may do so again with INDIVIDUALISTE, who shaped well on his recent return from a long absence and should be spot on now. Although Kansas du Berlais failed to fire in a handicap here at the end of last season he remains one who should have more to offer in this sphere and is second choice ahead of Issam.

Most have to be taken seriously but slight preference is for INIDIVIDUALISTE ahead of Kansas Du Berlais.

BLOW YOUR WAD has been highly tried on a number of occasions and has acquitted himself admirably in the face of some stiff tests. With his sights lowered after a game second in a higher grade at Chepstow last month, the Tom Lacey-trained gelding has a lot going for him. Paul Nicholls sent out the winner of this race last year and his Henri The Second is another notable contender, along with Fontwell winner Le Patron.

Lots of potential on show, not least from HENRI THE SECOND who showed himsefl to be a useful winning hurdler last term and is faniced to make a successful start in the sphere for last year's winning yard. Le Patron impressed when a wide-margin scorer at Fontwell and rates a big threat, with chasing debutants Blow Your Wad and Game Winner not discounted either,

There's more for Le Patron to worry about in this field, most notably from BLOW YOUR WAD and Henri The Second.

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

Having won a point-to-point before making a successful debut under Rules in a Ffos Las bumper in March, SOUTHOFTHEBORDER has the potential to flourish under the tutelage of Nicky Henderson. Sure to have been well schooled for his hurdling debut, another bold showing is expected from the son of Leading Light. Impact Du Bonheur, who landed a bumper in France before joining Paul Nicholls, is another to consider, while Classic Anthem completes the shortlist.

The market should reveal plenty here but Nicky Henderson's SOUTHOFTHEBORDER is taken to retain his unbeaten record in points/bumpers and make a winning start over timber. Classic Anthem is feared most on the back of his promising hurdling bow at Kempton, although ex-French recruits Impact du Bonheur and Stenatee both bring potential and need considering too, especially if the betting vibes are positive.

Preference is for SOUTHOFTHEBORDER, who seemed have loads of scope when he won at Ffos Las, with Spirits Bay second on the list.

JETRONIC isn't the easiest to weigh up on his handicap bow after being brushed aside by the impressive My Mate Mozzie in a novice chase at Cheltenham. Nevertheless, Paul Nicholls' four-year-old receives a handy 8lb weight-for-age allowance which may be enough for him to land the spoils. In The Air performed with credit on his seasonal reappearance when runner-up at Huntingdon and is feared most, ahead of Western Zephyr.

IN THE AIR shaped well sent chasing after 6 months off when second at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago and it surely won't be long before he opens his account in this sphere. Jetronic made a positive start for this yard when runner-up at Cheltenham and is another to consider.

Jetronic and In The Air are the youngest in this and bring clear potential. However, XCITATIONS may prove better handicapped.

LEGENDARY DAY has found some improvement on the Flat since having cheekpieces reapplied and that headgear may help as the five-year-old bids to gain a second success in this sphere. Iliko D'olivate regained the winning thread when making all at Taunton in April and isn't taken lightly on his seasonal/handicap bow. He may give the selection most to think about, although Arqoob also warrants consideration.

LEGENDARY DAY stood up well to an aggressive campaign on the level and the assessor may have underestimated him in this sphere. With conditions to suit, he's the most persuasive candidate, for all Arqoob and Ilko d'Olivate are interesting contenders.

Most have chances but LEGENDARY DAY (nap) is a useful Flat horse who should be on a good mark and these conditions won't trouble him.

Good Boy Bobby may prove popular here after an all-out success at Chepstow last month, but he was only a little over two lengths ahead of CYCLOP that day and might struggle to confirm the form on 3lb worse terms. Badly hampered that day by a faller, the selection did remarkably well to finish as close as he did and he could strike with a bit more luck in running. Larry could prove best of the rest.

GOOD BOY BOBBY capitalised on a falling mark on his first go in a veterans event at Chepstow on return last month and should go well again. Cyclop was only 2¼ lengths behind the selection that day and is 3 lb better off with him now, so rates the main threat ahead of Lord du Mesnil.

It could pay to chance a trouble-free round of jumping from LARRY who is very capable off this mark when it all comes together.

Diamond Koda almost pulled off a 50/1 shock when runner-up at Market Rasen in May, though the gut feeling is that he may have to settle for a place again. Easy point-to-point winner Martin Plage ran well when third at Cheltenham last month and he may prove the biggest danger to exciting newcomer TOUQUET. The Paul Nicholls-trained Kapgarde gelding cost 185,000 euros last year and is held in high regard by his handler. He is related to plenty of winners in France.

TOUQUET is well bred and cost plenty as a store, so he may well be able to make a successful start for all that Martin Plage is of interest after a positive Rules debut at Cheltenham. Diamond Koda is another one to consider.

Nicholls-trained Touquet has to be given great respect but MARTIN PLAGE's Cheltenham third earns the vote.

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.
