1	6 1st (6) (15/8 +16%) Jonbon		1.875 15/8(+16%)																															(6) Jonbon 15/8, Grade 1 winning hurdler and top-class chaser, winner of 8 of his 10 starts in this sphere and 3-3 over C&D, which includes a decisive victory in this last year. Shocking mistake 4 out cost him at Cheltenham in January and duly regained the winning thread upped to 2½m in the Melling Chase at Aintree. Beaten by El Fabiolo on their only previous clash over fences but entitled to respect.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/6 +8%) El Fabiolo		0.666667 4/6(+8%)																															(4) El Fabiolo 4/6, Impressive winner of 3 Grade 1s during his novice chase campaign last season, which includes a 5½-length beating of Jonbon in the Arkle. Fluffed his lines for the first time over fences when pulled up after a bad mistake in the Champion Chase last month but, otherwise, he is hard to fault. Pulled up after bad early error at Cheltenham; 6-6 over fences previously; the one to beat.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -25%) Edwardstone		10 10/1(-25%)																															(3) Edwardstone 10/1, C&D Tingle Creek winner last term and chased home Jonbon in this season's edition. Looked back to his top-class best under a change of tactics when easily making all in the Game Spirit at Newbury in February, and probably went off too fast in the Champion Chase last time (held when falling 2 out). Needs El Fabiolo and Jonbon to underperform but he may well be best of the rest.
4	1 4th (1) (40/1 +0%) Boothill		40 40/1(+0%)																															(1) Boothill 40/1, Grade 2 novice winner last term and further progress when landing valuable back-to-back Ascot handicaps in November However, he has hit the deck the last twice (around 10 lengths behind Edwardstone when falling 2 out at Newbury latterly) and this assignment is probably beyond him. Began campaign with two handicap wins at Ascot; fell the next twice; up against it.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 +0%) Nube Negra		40 40/1(+0%)																															(7) Nube Negra 40/1, Very smart chaser on his day but hasn't been at his best this season, comprehensively outpointed by several of these rivals already. Likely to come up short once more, unless the first-time cheekpieces have a dramatically positive effect. Has run pretty well in defeat in graded races the last twice, but would be surprise winner.
5	5 |F| (5) (66/1 -32%) Elixir De Nutz		66 66/1(-32%)																															(5) Elixir De Nutz 66/1, Better than ever this season at the age of 10, winning 3 times, notably a neck defeat of Jonbon (bad mistake 4 out arguably cost him the race) in the rearranged Clarence House at Cheltenham (17f, good to soft) in January. However, pulled up in the Champion Chase last time and he looks vulnerable. Beat Jonbon by a neck in Clarence House but runner-up was well below his best.
2	2 |PU| (2) (80/1 -142%) Editeur Du Gite		80 80/1(-142%)																															(2) Editeur Du Gite 80/1, Bold-jumping front runner who landed the Desert Orchid at Kempton for the second year running in December (Nube Negra second). Well held when bidding for a second successive Clarence House at Cheltenham last time, though, and was a long way behind Jonbon in this 12 months ago. Cheekpieces applied. Won Grade 2 two starts ago, but inconsistent this term and tough task even if at his best.

15:00 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 1) 15f Race Class Flow

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

EL FABIOLO fluffed his lines when making a race-ending blunder early in the Champion Chase and was immediately pulled up by Paul Townend. The seven-year-old, who had gone unbeaten over fences prior, finally has his rematch with old rival Jonbon, with Nicky Henderson's star having to miss Cheltenham, and while that rival arrives at the top of his game following a hard-fought victory in the Melling Chase at Aintree, it wouldn't be a major surprise if Willie Mullins' charge had too much in the locker, granted a clear round of jumping. Edwardstone fell two out when fighting a losing battle in the Champion Chase and it will be interesting to see how connections play their cards on this occasion.

An absorbing clash awaits between heavyweights EL FABIOLO and Jonbon. They've met twice before and the score stands at one apiece, with Jonbon drawing first blood when narrowly outpointing Willie Mullins' charge over hurdles in 2022. However, El Fabiolo was firmly in command when they locked horns in this sphere in the Arkle last spring and, despite fluffing his lines in the Champion Chase, he remains the star attraction in the two-mile chasers' division. Edwardstone is best of the rest.

The long-awaited rematch between EL FABIOLO and Jonbon. El Fabiolo is taken to confirm the supremacy shown in last year's Arkle.

1	4 1st (4) (17/2 +15%) Minella Cocooner		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(4) Minella Cocooner 17/2, Smart winner at 22f over hurdles (second in the 2022 Albert Bartlett) who posted his best effort in this sphere when third of 20 in Irish National (29.1f, heavy) at Fairyhouse earlier this month. Faces different conditions here but is unexposed over staying trips and must enter calculations. Fine third in Irish Grand National; could play a leading role if that hasn't left its mark.
2	9 2nd (9) (20/1 +20%) Annual Invictus		20 20/1(+20%)																															(9) Annual Invictus 20/1, Very capable chaser/hurdler on his day who looked as good as ever when landing Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster (26f) in January. Not seen to best effect at Cheltenham since but could only manage sixth (off 3 lb lower) in this contest last season. Fair sixth in this last year (good to soft); may improve upon that if he's on good ground.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 +13%) Nick Rockett		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Nick Rockett 7/1, Developed into a smart novice hurdler last spring and has taken well to fences on return, winning Fairyhouse maiden before good second in Navan Grade 3 (24f) in February. May have found testing conditions against him when seventh in Irish National latest and remains open to improvement. Faded into seventh in Irish National; something to prove but remains of interest.
4	16 4th (16) (22/1 +12%) Certainly Red		22 22/1(+12%)																															(16) Certainly Red 22/1, Completed a hat-trick last term and not disgraced when seventh (off 7 lb higher) in this contest on final start. Made the frame on several occasions this season but hard to see him regaining the winning thread in this company. Cheekpieces on first time. Course winner who ran well at Ascot last time and the cheekpieces could help his jumping.
5th	10 5th (10) (6/1 +40%) Amirite		6 6/1(+40%)																															(10) Amirite 6/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who has acquitted himself well in both starts this term, latest when fifth of 27 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.5f) over Christmas. Both his wins have come on a sound surface and he goes particularly well fresh so he ticks plenty of boxes. Fair efforts in light term; still lightly raced; may have more to offer for top Irish yard.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 +33%) Sam Brown		22 22/1(+33%)																															(3) Sam Brown 22/1, Returned to form since fitted with a visor this year, taking Veterans' events at Warwick and Ascot before good second of 13 in handicap chase at Aintree (25f, soft) 14 days ago, staying on well. Can race off same mark here but slower conditions would be more suitable. Strong finish at Aintree recently and another crack at a marathon trip is well worth a go.
7th	5 7th (5) (13/2 +28%) Le Milos		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(5) Le Milos 13/2, Big improver over fences for this yard last season, including victory in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Not really threatened in 3 starts over hurdles this term but looks nicely treated, returned to the larger obstacles, and is a big player. Won Coral Gold Cup in 2022; no threat over hurdles this term; not discounted back chasing.
8th	11 8th (11) (16/1 +76%) Aime Desjy		16 16/1(+76%)																															(11) Aime Desjy 16/1, Has taken well to chasing and readily landed the odds in novice at Gowran (20f) last month. Emerged with plenty of credit when fifth in Topham Chase at Aintree (21.1f) latest but this much longer trip is new territory for him. 5th in 2m5f Topham; unraced beyond that trip but this Mullins runner is worth second look.
9th	7 9th (7) (11/2 -57%) Kitty's Light		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(7) Kitty's Light 11/2, Signed off last season by landing an exceptional hat-trick, winning the Eider Chase and Scottish National before taking this contest (off 5 lb lower). Arrives on back of fine fifth in Grand National a fortnight ago and looks the one to beat with ground conditions likely to suit. Won this last year and highly creditable 5th in Grand National a fortnight ago; key player.
10th	17 10th (17) (22/1 +12%) Enrilo		22 22/1(+12%)																															(17) Enrilo 22/1, Smart at his peak (first past the post in 2021 renewal of this event) and posted best effort for a while when chasing home emphatic winner Inis Oirr in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh (31.4f) in February. Posted another solid effort at Taunton latest but Harry Cobden prefers Threeunderthrufive First past post in this in 2021; running well in defeat this year; needs something extra.
11th	8 11th (8) (18/1 -13%) Kinondo Kwetu		18 18/1(-13%)																															(8) Kinondo Kwetu 18/1, Most progressive over fences, making it 6 wins from 8 starts when seeing off another improver (pair well clear) at Aintree in May. Back from a break when creditable fourth at same course (25f, soft) a fortnight ago and should have ground conditions to suit here. Eyecatching 3rd in Summer Cup at Uttoxeter last July; interesting contender now up in trip.
12th	19 12th (19) (14/1 +44%) Weveallbeencaught		14 14/1(+44%)																															(19) Weveallbeencaught 14/1, Useful winning hurdler who shaped with promise in this sphere when placed in a pair of novice events at Cheltenham earlier this season. Rather gone backwards since, however, and has something to prove now. May be back on better ground today, which could help him tap back into chase debut promise.
13th	1 13th (1) (22/1 -120%) Threeunderthrufive		22 22/1(-120%)																															(1) Threeunderthrufive 22/1, Dual Grade 2 winner as a novice who posted a couple of solid efforts in defeat before returning to winning ways at Ascot (23.8f, good to soft) in February. Finds himself on career-high mark now but ought to be in the shake-up again. Very solid campaign, winning at Ascot (3m) last time, and he'll be fine at today's trip.
14th	13 14th (13) (22/1 +12%) Slipway		22 22/1(+12%)																															(13) Slipway 22/1, Looked a stayer going places in 2022, adding the Southern National at Fontwell (27.7f) to his CV. Form dipped thereafter but returned to winning ways (back from 3 months off) at Kempton (24f, good to soft) last time and is not out of things. Back to form with 3m win at Kempton last month; up in grade but stamina won't be an issue.
15th	18 15th (18) (16/1 +68%) Bangers And Cash		16 16/1(+68%)																															(18) Bangers And Cash 16/1, Progressed into a useful staying chaser last season, winning 3 of his last 4 starts. Gradually worked his way back to form this term, latest when third in course handicap (24.2f, good to soft) last month but will need more to take a hand here. 3m3f/3m4f winner who ran well over 3m here latest; each-way shout now back up in trip.
16th	15 16th (15) (50/1 -52%) Fortescue		50 50/1(-52%)																															(15) Fortescue 50/1, Run creditably in Newbury Veterans' races the last twice but it's been over 2 years since his last success and he may well find this company too demanding. Runner-up on three of last four starts (including 3m4f); each-way possibilities.
17th	14 17th (14) (40/1 -60%) Rapper		40 40/1(-60%)																															(14) Rapper 40/1, Three-time winner over fences who showed he retains all his ability when second in Ascot handicap (23.8f) in February. Fell in Kim Muir at Cheltenham Festival since, however, and his overall profile is slightly off-putting. 10yo whose form is up and down but may be suited by today's test; not ruled out each-way.
18th	12 18th (12) (20/1 +75%) Courtland		20 20/1(+75%)																															(12) Courtland 20/1, Thrived last summer landing four handicap chases (at up to 23f) either side of a fine second in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen in July. Back to winning ways, albeit fortunately, at Hereford last month but asked a much bigger question now. 2m7f win last August was a very taking effort; encouraging signs over inadequate 2m latest.
2	2 |PU| (2) (33/1 -32%) Does He Know		33 33/1(-32%)																															(2) Does He Know 33/1, Smart chaser who returned to form with positive tactics readopted (also fitted with cheekpieces) when landing the Grimthorpe at Doncaster (26f, heavy) last month. 5 lb rise fair but this looks much more competitive. Won in 1st-time cheekpieces at Doncaster latest; could have more to offer in the headgear.
20	20 |PU| (20) (33/1 +18%) Flash Collonges		33 33/1(+18%)																															(20) Flash Collonges 33/1, Got off the mark in this sphere at Newbury last term and still in touch when falling 19th in Scottish Grand National at Ayr following month. Lightly raced and disappointing since, though, and is now tried in blinkers. If this prominent-racer gets into a rhythm he'll be just the type Bryony Frost excels with.

15:35 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 1) 29f Race Class Flow

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

Title-chasing Dan Skelton has shown on multiple occasions this season how adept he is at targeting one at a big handicap and 2022 Coral Gold Cup winner LE MILOS may fall into that bracket. Unbeaten in two starts here, the nine-year-old has solely run over the smaller obstacles this season, all the while protecting his chase mark for a tilt at this valuable prize. A comfortable winner of this contest last year, Kitty's Light should be thereabouts again, though he will need to get over his Grand National exertions from a fortnight ago when he finished an admirable fifth. Threeunderthrufive deservedly regained the winning thread at Ascot in February and he is a player, along with Irish Grand National third Minella Cocooner and Amirite, who should relish this ground. Others to note include Nick Rockett, Rapper and Weveallbeencaught.

Plenty with claims in a typically competitive renewal of this contest, including last year's victor KITTY'S LIGHT, who boasts a tremendous record in marathon events and looks fairly treated in his bid for a repeat success. Last season's Coral Gold Cup winner Le Milos has had a light campaign and looks well handicapped, whilst Nick Rockett remains with potential and is the choice of Paul Townend. Kinondo Kwetu and Amirite will be suited by likely better ground and complete the shortlist.

Peter Bowen and Sean Bowen won this race in 2017 with 40-1 shot Henllan Harri and their runner COURTLAND (nap) catches the eye.

1	4 1st (4) (4/5 +36%) Impaire Et Passe		0.8 4/5(+36%)																															(4) Impaire Et Passe 4/5, High-class hurdler who belatedly opened his account for the season when edging out Bob Olinger in a contentious finish at Aintree earlier in the month. Fortunate to get the better of Langer Dan there, but still boasts excellent claims. Grade 1 winner at Aintree two weeks ago and may not have reached his ceiling just yet.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 -155%) Langer Dan		7 7/1(-155%)																															(5) Langer Dan 7/1, Smart performance when becoming the first dual winner of the Coral Cup (Handicap) at Cheltenham Festival and backed it up with a tremendous effort when third to Impaire Et Passe at Aintree last time, arguably unlucky not to win having suffered interference late. Worth chancing to turn the tables. Followed big Cheltenham handicap win with excellent third in Aintree Grade 1; in the mix.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 +25%) Sir Gerhard		6 6/1(+25%)																															(8) Sir Gerhard 6/1, Leading novice hurdler of 2021/22 campaign and a smart novice chaser last term. Positive return to the smaller obstacles this season and had plenty in hand when landing a minor event at Cork last time. Definite player. Has not quite fulfilled tremendous early promise but dangerous if on a going day.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -14%) Blueking D'oroux		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Blueking D'oroux 16/1, Returned with a cosy success in 2m novice at Cheltenham in October and posted a borderline smart effort when following up in a relatively weak field for the Coral Hurdle at Ascot. Creditable fifth in Long Walk there last time but has something to find. Progressive; Grade 2 winner in November; seemed not to stay 3m next time; not ruled out.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 +0%) Botox Has		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Botox Has 33/1, Second success in Grade 2s this season when bounding clear in the Rendlesham at Haydock in February but pulled up in Liverpool Hurdle and, even on his best form, he has something to find. Blinkers tried. Two Grade 2 wins this season but soundly beaten at Aintree two weeks ago; new headgear.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 +0%) Call Me Lord		80 80/1(+0%)																															(7) Call Me Lord 80/1, Made a winning return last term and repeated the feat this time around, beating 4 rivals at Hereford (19.7f) in December. Sub-par both starts since, though. Won this race as a 5yo in 2018 but isn't the force of old; hard to fancy.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +0%) Ballyadam		6 6/1(+0%)																															(6) Ballyadam 6/1, Made it third time lucky over fences at Wexford last summer and, while it's been a while since he's tasted success in this sphere, his Coral Cup second to Langer Dan (giving him 6 lb) makes for good reading now. Definite player. Consistent; second to Langer Dan in Coral Cup and meets that rival on 10lb better terms.
8th	3 8th (3) (22/1 -10%) Brewin'upastorm		22 22/1(-10%)																															(3) Brewin'upastorm 22/1, Smart and likeable hurdler who showed himself to be every bit as good as ever when landing the 4-runner Ballybin Hurdle in game style at Fairyhouse last time. This is tougher but he should give his running. Fine stable servant over the years; Grade 2 Fairyhouse winner last time; this is stronger.

16:10 Sandown Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 22f Race Class Flow

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

A somewhat controversial winner of the Aintree Hurdle when causing interference on the run-in, IMPAIRE ET PASSE still looked the best horse in the race despite his errant ways and he could be the one to seal a historic British trainer's title for Willie Mullins. Anything like his best should be good enough, although connections of Langer Dan may feel confident of overturning the form from Aintree and a return to the Esher track should not inconvenience him, having won the Imperial Cup here in 2021. Runner-up to the latter in the Coral Cup and now 10lb better off at the weights, Ballyadam is a capable sort on his day and cannot be ruled out either.

LANGER DAN would, in all likelihood, have edged out Impaire Et Passe in the Aintree Hurdle had he not suffered interference on more than one occasion and he's worth a chance to confirm that impression in what looks another fascinating encounter. Sir Gerhard is another potent weapon for Willie Mullins as he bids for the trainer's title.

Several have claims but the value may lie with BALLYADAM who chased Langer Dan home in the Coral Cup and meets him on much better terms.

1	8 1st (8) (14/1 -100%) Martator		14 14/1(-100%)																															(8) Martator 14/1, Reliable sort who bids for a hat-trick after recent handicap wins at Newbury and Ascot (16.8f, good to soft). Up 5 lb but still very much one to consider. Has won the last twice; in hotter company today but could have more left in the tank.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +38%) Outlaw Peter		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(2) Outlaw Peter 5/2, Is going the right way over fences and has landed 2m4f handicaps at Kempton and Ayr of late. Up 4 lb but holds good claims in his hat-trick bid. Has won his last two (latest last Friday); strong claims if this doesn't come too soon.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +22%) Glory And Honour		14 14/1(+22%)																															(6) Glory And Honour 14/1, Bagged his second chase win at Doncaster in December and not disgraced after a wind op when third of 4 in handicap at Haydock (19.9f, heavy) 38 days ago. Not ruled out. Progressive after joining this yard; below par latest but back on better ground today.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 +21%) Kotmask		11 11/1(+21%)																															(5) Kotmask 11/1, Course winner who got back on track when third of 7 in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Ought to be in the shake-up. Started the year with two wins in a row but needs to better his subsequent form.
11	11 |F| (11) (6/1 +0%) Terresita		6 6/1(+0%)																															(11) Terresita 6/1, Made it 2-5 over fences this season in 2-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft) 25 days ago. This demands more but she's not discounted. Two wins from last three starts and promising C&D run in between; may have more to offer.
3	3 |F| (3) (14/1 -17%) Golden Son		14 14/1(-17%)																															(3) Golden Son 14/1, Got off the mark for current yard at Kempton in February but only sixth of 7 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 49 days ago, never travelling well. Blinkers replace cheekpieces with more needed. Won at Kempton in February and there was a possible excuse over this C&D next time; only 6.
1	1 |PU| (1) (11/4 +8%) Nickle Back		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(1) Nickle Back 11/4, C&D winner in February but badly hampered start when ninth of 10 in Maghull Novices' Chase (15/2) at Aintree (15.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly now back up in trip. Below par at Aintree but had an excuse; made all in C&D Grade 1 in February.
9	9 |PU| (9) (14/1 +0%) Western Zephyr		14 14/1(+0%)																															(9) Western Zephyr 14/1, Yet to score in this sphere but he returned to form when fourth of 5 to Persian Time in handicap chase at Kempton (18f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Needs to back it up. Best performance came when a rallying second here in November and he's not discounted.
4	4 |PU| (4) (17/2 +23%) Persian Time		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(4) Persian Time 17/2, Dual winner around 2m this season but he came in a well-held fourth of 6 in handicap chase (6/1) at Ayr (16.5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Form of Kempton win has been franked and soft ground may not have suited at Ayr recently.

16:45 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The front-running NICKLE BACK could give weight and a beating to these rivals. This represents a significant drop in class, having contested either Grade 1 or Grade 2 events on his last four starts, and he can easily be excused a lacklustre performance at Aintree where hampered at the start. He produced a career-best performance over this C&D in the Scilly Isles only two starts ago and if running to a similar level again, he will prove extremely hard to beat. Harry Cobden won't want to give the selection too much rope aboard the hat-trick seeking Outlaw Peter and he might put up most resistance. Martator has obvious form claims but Venetia Williams has been quiet of late, and Bourbali might surprise one or two just 3lb higher than when runner-up over hurdles at this meeting last year.

OUTLAW PETER arrives on the up and looks the way to go in his hat-trick attempt. Mayhem Mya is feared most off a handy-looking mark, although Nickle Back, Martator and Kotmask also need factoring into this competitive handicap.

Topweight NICKLE BACK made all in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles over C&D in February and this class act could be tough to catch.

1	14 1st (14) (22/1 +12%) Ike Sport		22 22/1(+12%)																															(14) Ike Sport 22/1, Improved model during second half of last year, resuming winning ways in a Worcester novice (20f) in July and fairly bolted up returned to handicap company at that venue in September. However, ran out before the fifth in his hat-trick bid at Wincanton last week. Ran out last time but had previously been progressing well in cheekpieces.
2	12 2nd (12) (7/2 +50%) Pic Roc		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(12) Pic Roc 7/2, Placed twice in bumpers last spring and progressive form over hurdles this term, winning a 19f Ascot novice prior to an excellent second in EBF Final over C&D. Likely has more to offer and has to be taken seriously. Second in EBF Final over C&D looks strong form; high on the list again.

Couldn't overcome an 8 lb rise at Newbury since, though. Came back from long absence to win over 2m here but no obvious excuses next time.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 -113%) Authorised Speed		16 16/1(-113%)																															(9) Authorised Speed 16/1, 2-timer course winner over hurdles who would surely have made the perfect start over fences but for departing 2 out at Ascot (17f) on return. Jumped poorly when third at Plumpton next time prior to falling early in the Arkle. Back over hurdles. Let down by jumping over fences but now reverts to hurdling and won twice here last term.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 +38%) Lookaway		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(5) Lookaway 15/2, Likeable sort who completed a hat-trick in Cheltenham Grade 2 in October and ran another cracker when second in Challow at Newbury (20.5f) in December. Wasted no time bouncing back from a below-par display in Betfair Hurdle when third in Grade 1 novice at Aintree last time. Player back up in trip. Genuine front-runner; good third in Grade 1 novice at Aintree; should be thereabouts.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 +9%) Sa Majeste		5 5/1(+9%)																															(4) Sa Majeste 5/1, Off the mark on second outing in France for Y. Fouin and got back on the up after 8 months off when beating former Grand National winner Noble Yeats at Limerick (20f) in December. Not in same form in Coral Cup at Cheltenham Festival 11 weeks later but he should have learnt from the experience. Lightly raced 6yo; well held when fancied for Coral Cup; may still have untapped potential.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 -65%) Red Risk		33 33/1(-65%)																															(1) Red Risk 33/1, Won twice back hurdling in 2022 and good second to Botox Has in the West Yorkshire Hurdle at Wetherby in November. However, he was a well-held fourth behind the same rival in a Haydock Grade 2 and fared little better back in a competitive handicap at Aintree 2 weeks ago. Down the field last three starts, including at Aintree two weeks ago; others appeal more.
8th	16 8th (16) (12/1 +40%) Classic Anthem		12 12/1(+40%)																															(16) Classic Anthem 12/1, Expensive recruit from the Irish pointing field who made a successful switch to handicap company here (2m) in December. Good second in 20.5f novice at Plumpton next time but below par when only seventh in C&D handicap since. Poor run over C&D last time and this is much more competitive.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/2 +31%) Emailandy		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(8) Emailandy 11/2, Has developed into a useful novice, building on his fourth in the EBF Final when resuming winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago, finding extra. Up 5 lb and warrants respect. Reliable; won at Plumpton on Easter Sunday; further improvement possible but necessary.
17	17 |F| (17) (66/1 -100%) Classic Lord		66 66/1(-100%)																															(17) Classic Lord 66/1, Useful on Flat and came good over hurdles for his new yard when landing a brace of novices at Fontwell (2¼m) and Bangor (2m) before Christmas. Posted a good second over C&D in February but proved to be a disappointment (not jump well) at Plumpton last time. Back up in trip. Put firmly in his place at Plumpton and others have more scope for improvement.
11	11 |U| (11) (12/1 +40%) Monviel		12 12/1(+40%)																															(11) Monviel 12/1, Course winner who again ran well with cheekpieces retained when third of 8 in handicap at Wincanton (19.8f, heavy) 19 days ago. Likely to remain competitive but remains vulnerable to better treated ones. Trip, ground and course all suit; very much in the mix.
10th	13 10th (13) (17/2 -21%) Bad		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(13) Bad 17/2, Winner in France. Placed in 4 handicap hurdles this season, going with far more zest in first-time cheekpieces following a breathing operation when finishing runner-up at Ascot in February, albeit rather worried out of it. Ran poorly at this course last time, however. Tongue strap now goes on. Edged out at Ascot before disappointing when fancied for Imperial Cup; now in tongue-strap.
11th	3 11th (3) (66/1 -164%) Icare Allen		66 66/1(-164%)																															(3) Icare Allen 66/1, Smart hurdler at his peak. Caught the eye when a running-on third of 11 in 3m course handicap in November but pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival 4 months later and ran even worse on first outing since leaving Willie Mullins at Aintree. Tongue tie back on. Well treated on best form for Willie Mullins but pulled up at Aintree on stable debut.
12th	6 12th (6) (100/1 -1567%) Mahons Glory		100 100/1(-1567%)																															(6) Mahons Glory 100/1, Useful effort to win a 21f Kempton handicap on Boxing Day on only his second outing for Patrick Neville. Faced very stiff task when tailed-off last in Aintree Hurdle subsequently. Easy winner at Kempton on Boxing Day but now 10lb higher and in a stronger race.
18	18 |PU| (18) (11/1 +67%) Arqoob		11 11/1(+67%)																															(18) Arqoob 11/1, Second win over hurdles for his current yard here in November. Wasted no time getting back to form faced with a far more suitable test than at Doncaster when runner-up at Ascot (21.6f, good) in March and ran to a similar when eighth of 15 at Cheltenham since. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Not beaten far last time; goes well here; each-way possibilities in first-time cheekpieces.
7	7 |PU| (7) (25/1 -56%) Will Carver		25 25/1(-56%)																															(7) Will Carver 25/1, Very low-mileage 9-y-o who proved better than ever when making a winning return at Taunton (19f) in November, leading before 2 out and winning easily. Shaped as if amiss when pulled up at Kempton the following month and has since had a breathing operation. Pulled up at Kempton but was progressive prior to that and has now had wind surgery.
2	2 |PU| (2) (40/1 -100%) Mark Of Gold		40 40/1(-100%)																															(2) Mark Of Gold 40/1, Added another victory to his tally in a 7-runner event at Kempton (for the second successive season) in February. Did that easily but was found out from a career-high mark in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, beating only 2 home. Kempton winner in February for second year running but tailed off in Coral Cup next time.

17:20 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Authorised Speed hasn't taken to fences this season but it would come as no surprise to see the dual course scorer run a massive race on his hurdling return, while Bad has threatened to win a big handicap since joining Ben Pauling and shouldn't be underestimated in a first-time tongue-tie. Willie Mullins saddles a couple of interesting runners in Gold Dancer and Sa Majeste, but PIC ROC looks the most solid option. Steadily progressive over timber this campaign, he backed up an impressive Ascot victory with a cracking second-placed effort in the EBF Final over C&D last time. A 5lb rise for that performance looks fair and he is fancied to go one better, confirming form with the third and subsequent winner Emailandy in the process.

A competitive handicap that may go the way of PIC ROC, an improving novice from the Ben Pauling stable, who could easily have more to offer on the back of his excellent second in the EBF Final over C&D. Lookaway is a likeable sort who ought to give his running once more, while Emailandy and Gold Dancer are two others who warrant plenty of respect.

Willie Mullins' pair are unexposed but so is PIC ROC whose second in the EBF Final looks strong form. Monviel is next on the list.

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.
