3	3 (3) (2/1 +11%) Della Casa Lunga		2 2/1(+11%)																															(3) Della Casa Lunga 2/1, Better than ever all of a sudden, finishing second in a Kempton listed race before scoring readily in a handicap there 8 days ago. Sets the standard and is the one to beat if the race doesn't come too soon. Break of just eight days (after Kempton 3m win) is a worry but she's well clear on form.
1	1 (1) (7/2 -5%) Aston Martini		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(1) Aston Martini 7/2, Bumper winner who also landed her first 2 starts over hurdles last winter. Resumed her progress sent handicapping when runner-up at Bangor on return and, while she failed to back it up at Newbury since, the step back up in trip is in her favour. Return to 2m seemed against her five weeks ago; may yet do better overall, which is needed.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +11%) Dameofthecotswolds		4 4/1(+11%)																															(2) Dameofthecotswolds 4/1, Bumper winner who has improved again over hurdles this term, making it 3 wins from her last 4 in a novice at Doncaster last time. This is tougher but she's likely to give another good account. This is much more demanding but she was hugely on top in novice events on last two starts.
4	4 (4) (5/1 +23%) Georgi Girl		5 5/1(+23%)																															(4) Georgi Girl 5/1, Back on the up with a 21f Warwick handicap success on reappearance in November and not disgraced in more competitive event at Cheltenham next time. Can't be ruled out. Better this term, including smooth handicap win at Warwick (2m5f); firmly in the mix.
6	6 (6) (15/2 +0%) The Lord Maid		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(6) The Lord Maid 15/2, Made a successful hurdles debut in maiden at Clonmel in February (for Josh Halley) and followed up for new yard in 20.5f Southwell novice in April. Solid return from 7 months off when second in 6-runner mares' handicap at Warwick (21f, soft) and she's still low mileage. Second to Georgi Girl on handicap debut; needs more but being so lightly raced gives hope.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -33%) Good Look Charm		10 10/1(-33%)																															(5) Good Look Charm 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Enhanced good record fresh when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at this C&D (heavy) 28 days ago. Not discounted. Asserted under a 10lb claimer in handicap over C&D (heavy) four weeks ago.

14:25 Sandown Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

DELLA CASA LUNGA landed a competitive handicap at Kempton last week and returns to this level with solid claims. A runner-up to the classy Kateira at the same track in November, the seven-year-old is taken to make the most of today's favourable terms and continue winning ways. The progressive Dameofthecotswolds looks worth a try in this grade having landed the odds with the minimum of fuss in a novice race at Doncaster. She's preferred to Aston Martini, who disappointed in a Grade 3 at Newbury, while Good Look Charm won nicely over C&D and has the scope to rate higher than her current mark.

DELLA CASA LUNGA stands out on form and, with a reproduction of the sort of performance she produced at Kempton 8 days ago, she'll be tough to beat. The others all have some sort of a chance, with Georgi Girl respected and another solid showing on the cards from Dameofthecotswolds.

Easily most seems to hinge on whether DELLA CASA LUNGA can produce the same sort of form she showed to win a 3m handicap eight days ago.

6	6 (6) (10/3 +0%) Copperhead		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(6) Copperhead 10/3, Snapped long losing run on final start of last term and has picked up where he left off by taking handicaps at Chepstow and Aintree in October. Excellent second the last twice and is a leading player here. Latest start was his best form since 2021 and this resurgent 11yo needs plenty of respect.
2	2 (2) (7/2 +22%) Eldorado Allen		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(2) Eldorado Allen 7/2, Positive start to this season following another wind op when runner-up at Warwick and backed it up with a good third at Cheltenham. Step back up in trip is well in his favour and he boasts solid claims. Respectable minor honours both outings since latest wind op; lowest chase mark since 2021.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +17%) Sam Brown		5 5/1(+17%)																															(1) Sam Brown 5/1, Smart veteran chaser who won 3m handicaps at Warwick and Ascot last season. Returned with a fine third in the Charlie Hall at Wetherby but wasn't in the same form in a strong handicap at Newbury last time. Blinkers go back on. Won this last year; seriously involved if reverting to blinkers from a visor proves okay.
4	4 (4) (13/2 +7%) Empire Steel		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(4) Empire Steel 13/2, Gives his running more often than not, which counts for plenty in this sort of event, so merits respect on the back of another creditable third at Haydock last time. Not so bright since Kelso win last February but his only recent run was no disgrace.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -17%) Ask Me Early		7 7/1(-17%)																															(7) Ask Me Early 7/1, Won one of these events at Exeter almost a year ago but hasn't been in the same form since, including on return at Bangor 52 days ago. Has edged back to a handy mark, though. Won by 9l over 3m on heavy at Exeter last February and is now just 2lb higher.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +20%) Fortescue		8 8/1(+20%)																															(8) Fortescue 8/1, Lightly raced in recent times and ran well when runner-up to Copperhead on reappearance. Didn't fire at Ascot subsequently but this is easier back against fellow veterans. Stuck on a losing run but his best efforts last term give him a big form chance.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +14%) Smarty Wild		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Smarty Wild 12/1, Useful handicap chaser, placed all 3 starts in 2022/23 but pulled up on the back of a long lay-off at Haydock last month. Might come on for it. Sole chase win was four years ago; second run since a long break and not a forlorn hope.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +0%) Remastered		14 14/1(+0%)																															(3) Remastered 14/1, Last season was a write-off (including pulled up in this) but he bounced back to form to take advantage of his reduced mark on his Wincanton reappearance in October. Has been let down by jumping on both subsequent outings and others make more appeal. Won at Wincanton in October last year; the fences have got in the way on both starts since.
5	5 (5) (16/1 +11%) Chambard		16 16/1(+11%)																															(5) Chambard 16/1, Won the Kim Muir at 2022 Cheltenham Festival and and added another valuable handicap to his CV in the Becher at Aintree over a year ago. Hasn't fired subsequently, including on return at Cheltenham. Dominated over the big Aintree fences (3m2f, heavy) in December 2023; out of form since.

15:00 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

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

SAM BROWN struggled in the Coral Gold Cup when last seen, but that followed a very encouraging third on his seasonal return in the Charlie Hall. The 13-year-old won this race last year, when staged at Warwick, off a 6lb lower mark but he should be competitive off this rating given his subsequent performances. Copperhead has been in outstanding form this season and is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection, although Eldorado Allen and Remastered are others who arrive here with valid form claims.

Joe Tizzard has revitalised COPPERHEAD and Eldorado Allen recently and this pair of classy types could be the ones to fight this out, with the former marginally preferred. Empire Steel is reliable in relation to most at this level, so he's considered a player, too.

Copperhead has found his old steel in a major change of fortunes but ELDORADO ALLEN shaped well when one place behind him last time.

7	7 (7) (10/3 -33%) Honky Tonk Highway		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(7) Honky Tonk Highway 10/3, Listed bumper winner. Made hurdles bow after wind op when chasing home a smart one on return (Warwick 19f) and didn't need to improve on that when landing a novice listed event over C&D (heavy) four weeks ago, making all. Looks a stayer but kept at 2m by excellent trainer. Should be more to come. C&D win latest (soft); this handicap debut demands plenty more but plenty of potential.
8	8 (8) (7/2 +30%) Oh My Johnny		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(8) Oh My Johnny 7/2, Had the race at his mercy when falling at the last at Bangor on penultimate start but made amends at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 25 days ago, led on bridle home straight, pushed out near finish, easily. Steps up in class on handicap debut but remains unexposed and no surprise to see him go well. Has fallen twice at the last, but a promising handicap debutant after Uttoxeter maiden win.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +0%) Navajo Indy		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Navajo Indy 4/1, Progressive sort who arrives here seeking a four-timer following a career-best when landing a nice pot at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 35 days ago, getting first run on runner-up and just kept up to his work late on. Clearly going in the right direction and hard not to see him running well again. On a four-timer after taking his handicap debut in a quite valuable event at Newbury.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +0%) Hardy Du Seuil		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Hardy Du Seuil 7/1, Won this in 2023 and career-best hurdles run (second of 8 at Carlisle, 17f, soft) on comeback last month, no chance with well-backed winner but clear of the third. Hasn't stood much racing in past few seasons, so needs to prove he can back that up, but a player if arriving here in the same form. Last won in this race two years ago; 2nd in three of seven races since, including latest.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +20%) Aurigny Mill		8 8/1(+20%)																															(1) Aurigny Mill 8/1, Took his form to a new level (formerly with Victor Dartnall) when a most impressive winner of 7-runner handicap hurdle at Newbury (2m) on stable debut (second since won a decent race at Ascot). Best forgiven latest Ascot effort when hampered early and looks to be a leading contender. Won easily at Newbury; hampered early two weeks later but probably needs a career best.
9	9 (9) (17/2 -21%) Jour D'evasion		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(9) Jour D'evasion 17/2, Novice hurdle winner last season and second over C&D in November, chasing home smart mare. Bettered that effort when second at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. Isn't always the most fluent jumper, but he still seems to be improving and yard among the winners. 2nd last two starts, C&D first occasion; should give his running but needs extra to win it.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +17%) Spirits Bay		10 10/1(+17%)																															(5) Spirits Bay 10/1, Did well last season, winning novice and handicap hurdle over 17f at Exeter. Made encouraging comeback when fifth of 14 at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago, making big move from rear to head chasing pack (winner had flown), tired late on. Should build on that and is very much respected. Made a creditable and promising reappearance at Cheltenham (2m1f) three weeks ago.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -11%) Zambezi Fix		20 20/1(-11%)																															(6) Zambezi Fix 20/1, Tends to save his best for Chepstow, usually ridden patiently and likes a good pace to aim at. Couldn't cash-in on lower chase mark at his favourite venue last week (4th of 8). Back over smaller obstacles and although he is now on his last winning hurdles mark, this looks competitive. Poor back over fences latest; best efforts last winter make him look well handicapped.
2	2 (2) (33/1 -10%) Joyeux Machin		33 33/1(-10%)																															(2) Joyeux Machin 33/1, Useful for Paul Nolan in Ireland but struggled in varied events in 2024. Stable debut looked to be a pipe-opener over an inadequate trip (eleventh of 14, 16.8f, Cheltenham, 22 days ago). This yard could easily revitalise him, but looks the second string here. 2024 did not go well; did not show much under a 7lb claimer on debut for new connections.

15:35 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

OH MY JOHNNY rewarded his supporters with an impressive success at Uttoxeter, after falling at the last when looking likely to win at Bangor the time before. Both of those performances suggest that the five-year-old is progressive and an opening mark of 116 may underestimate him. Honky Tonk Highway is another unexposed novice who has to be noted given her Listed success over C&D a month ago. Others to consider are Hardy Du Seuil, Jour D'Evasion and Navajo Indy.

A trappy race to end the card. We still haven't seen the best of the unexposed OH MY JOHNNY who broke his maiden tag without being asked any serious questions and on just his fourth start under Rules, he can follow up his recent victory. Jour d'Evasion ran well here earlier in the season but might find one too good yet again, while we should see Aurigny Mill in a much better light today.

Most of these demand clear enthusiasm but the vote goes to OH MY JOHNNY ahead of Spirits Bay.
