1st (9) Equity Law (15/2 +25%)
Equity Law

15/2(+25%)
(9) Equity Law 15/2, Fairly useful 2yo who left the impression he would strip fitter for his reappearance at Bath. Already has some solid C&D form to his name, so not one to dismiss lightly.
Behind Hedge Fund on his return but the ground was a valid excuse; still has potential.
2
2nd (5) Shagraan (9/2 +59%)
Shagraan

9/2(+59%)
(5) Shagraan 9/2, Won 6f Windsor novice in good style on debut last year. Found out in better company subsequently but interesting to see how he develops for new yard (has left Clive Cox) this term.
Listed-placed for Clive Cox at 2; sold 125,000gns in October and gelded; not fully exposed.
3
3rd (6) Hedge Fund (5/1 +9%)
Hedge Fund

5/1(+9%)
(6) Hedge Fund 5/1, Straightforward sprinter who upped his game when runner-up in Bath handicap on return 19 days ago and should be well positioned from stall 2. Not dismissed for all that others have more potential.
Lots to like about his reappearance effort & he's a leading contender with that behind him.
4
4th (4) Miaharris (5/1 -11%)
Miaharris

5/1(-11%)
(4) Miaharris 5/1, Lightly-raced C&D winner. 15/2, creditable 3½ lengths fifth of 13 to Inquisitively in Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) when last seen, met some trouble. Off 6 months. Could do better on seasonal/handicap debut.
Listed winner last summer before coming up short in Group 3s; career best required.
5th
5th (3) Serried Ranks (12/1 -118%)
Serried Ranks

12/1(-118%)
(3) Serried Ranks 12/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs, notably impressive in a nursery at Goodwood on first crack at 6f. Seemed amiss in a listed event at York on final outing but should do better this term having been gelded.
Two wins as a 2yo, notably a Goodwood nursery (6f); been gelded; 5f on good ground a query.
6th
6th (2) Dark Vintage (22/1 -83%)
Dark Vintage

22/1(-83%)
(2) Dark Vintage 22/1, Fairly useful winner in America and, while BHA handicapper doesn't appear to have taken any chances with his opening mark, he will be worth noting in the betting on debut for a shrewd stable.
Four runs over 5f on firm ground in the US as a 2yo; hard to assess on stable debut.
7th
7th (8) Rogue Enforcer (11/1 -10%)
Rogue Enforcer

11/1(-10%)
(8) Rogue Enforcer 11/1, Ended juvenile campaign firmly on the up, completing an autumn double with a smooth performance in a novice at Catterick 178 days ago. Opening mark looks fair but stall 10 isn't ideal.
Two wins as a 2yo on soft/heavy; more races to be won with him but perhaps not this one.
8th
8th (7) Sports Coach (4/1 +27%)
Sports Coach

4/1(+27%)
(7) Sports Coach 4/1, Progressive colt who doubled his tally (from 3 starts) despite signs of lingering greenness at Wolverhampton 4 months ago. Stable is in excellent form and he's worth chancing to land the hat-trick on return.
Chasing a hat-trick after novice wins at Newcastle and Wolverhampton; this a tougher task.
9th
9th (10) Tan Rapido (17/2 -13%)
Tan Rapido

17/2(-13%)
(10) Tan Rapido 17/2, Confirmed debut promise when comfortably off the mark in maiden at Windsor (5.1f) last July. Turned over at long odds on at Wolverhampton (22 days ago) on return (too free), but seemingly well thought of, so mark of 82 might underestimate him.
5f win (good) last season; looked tricky at Wolverhampton on his return when 2nd at 2-9.

13:15 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for HEDGE FUND, who bumped into a very well-handicapped rival when filling second place on his return to action at Bath. Given the winner of that contest has subsequently scored at Listed level, this son of Profitable merits plenty of respect off the same mark. Rogue Enforcer progressed well as a juvenile and may have more improvement left to come, while Serried Ranks has serious claims based on the pick of his form. Others to note include Dark Vintage, Miaharris and Shagraan.

SPORTS COACH boasts a progressive profile and his stable can do no wrong at present, so he's fancied to land a hat-trick switched to handicaps after 4 months off. Tan Rapido might have been let in lightly off 82, so he's regarded as the main threat ahead of Serried Ranks.

Hedge Fund shaped well on his return but EQUITY LAW is better than he showed in that Bath event and he can take a big step forward.

Hand Of God

Evens(+70%)
(5) Hand Of God Evens, Promising sort who got off the mark in good style in maiden company at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last October. There's better to come at 3 and Ryan Moore has been booked for this handicap debut and reappearance.
Big step forward with his impressive Newmarket win in October; more to come this year.

2nd (2) Blue Lemons (10/1 +38%)
Blue Lemons

10/1(+38%)
(2) Blue Lemons 10/1, Debut winner on soft ground at Leicester last September. Has achieved better form in defeat since (hampered when sixth of 8 in valuable Chelmsford conditions race on reappearance) but it's hard to argue his opening mark looks generous.
Hit with a 5lb rise for latest Chelmsford sixth; career best required.
3
3rd (8) Royal Supremacy (3/1 +60%)
Royal Supremacy

3/1(+60%)
(8) Royal Supremacy 3/1, Won on 7f course debut last August. Behind Blue Lemons when well-held fourth in useful Newbury novice next time but straight back on the up when landing a 1m Kempton nursery in October. In good hands and could easily be more to come after only 3 starts.
2-3 as a 2yo but 8l behind Blue Lemons at Newbury on his second start; course winner.
4
4th (4) Cracking Gold (5/1 +9%)
Cracking Gold

5/1(+9%)
(4) Cracking Gold 5/1, Won 7f novices at Kempton and Lingfield on first 2 starts. Lost his unbeaten record but ran with credit when close second in 1m Kempton handicap last month. Steps up to 1m now making his turf debut. Remains capable of better.
Lost unbeaten record at Kempton latest but still ran well; 1m should suit; more to come.
5th
5th (1) Cuban Tiger (9/1 +36%)
Cuban Tiger

9/1(+36%)
(1) Cuban Tiger 9/1, Has made rapid strides since making a winning debut over 6f at Southwell in January, bagging a 1m Newcastle listed race on Good Friday. Presumably found the run coming too soon when below form in Chelmsford conditions race only 8 days later. Capable of bouncing back on turf debut for in-form yard.
Listed AW win on Good Friday (1m); below par latest; concedes weight to promising rivals.

13:50 Sandown Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HAND OF GOD improved with each start as a juvenile and was last seen getting off the mark in impressive fashion at Newmarket in October. An opening mark of 88 for the son of Churchill should be workable, especially as his pedigree suggests that he will progress further as a three-year-old. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Royal Supremacy and Cracking Gold appear to be the pick of them.

Always a very useful 3-y-o handicap. An opening mark in the high 80s looks manageable for HAND OF GOD on the back of his taking Newmarket maiden success last autumn so he gets the vote under Ryan Moore. Cracking Gold and Cuban Tiger have done well on AW this year and are feared most.

Hand Of God is an intriguing handicap debutant but CRACKING GOLD can resume winning ways now upped to 1m for the first time.

1st (6) Okeechobee (10/3 +33%)
Okeechobee

10/3(+33%)
(6) Okeechobee 10/3, Rapidly developed into a smart performer as a 3-y-o in 2022, winning 3 of his 4 starts. It took a long time to get him back but his reappearance second to Dubai Honour was full of promise and he's open to plenty of progress.
Missed all of 2023 prior to very promising Listed second on comeback; one to consider.
2
2nd (3) Desert Hero (10/3 -33%)
Desert Hero

10/3(-33%)
(3) Desert Hero 10/3, Produced a smart performance when winning the traditionally very strong King George (Handicap) at Royal Ascot in June. Overcame tricky circumstances when following up in the Gordon Stakes and third-place finish in the St Leger was another forward step. Big player if coping with this trip.
Fine 3rd in 1m6f St Leger when last seen; tackles 1m2f on comeback but entitled to respect.
3
3rd (5) Israr (9/4 +18%)
Israr

9/4(+18%)
(5) Israr 9/4, Progressive handicapper in 2022 and took form to another level last term, resuming winning ways in Group 2 at Newmarket in July alongside 4 runner-up efforts, including the Bahrain Trophy. Disappointing effort in Qatar in February but certainly in the right hands to get back on track. Blinkered.
Below par in Qatar in February but holds leading claims on last year's best form.
4
4th (1) Artistic Star (10/1 -33%)
Artistic Star

10/1(-33%)
(1) Artistic Star 10/1, Won sole 2-y-o start and much improved when following up over C&D in May. Campaigned at Group 3 level and upwards after and far from disgraced on the whole. Clearly goes well fresh but no easy task on these terms having been gelded.
Third in Group 2 at Royal Ascot last June; gelded since last seen; improvement needed.
5th
5th (2) Checkandchallenge (17/2 -6%)
Checkandchallenge

17/2(-6%)
(2) Checkandchallenge 17/2, Struggled to match his 3-y-o form on the whole in good company last year, though he did sign off with a listed win in the mud at Newmarket. Definite player on these terms for this reappearance.
Listed winner at Newmarket last November; could have a part to play if fully tuned up.
6th
6th (7) Tasman Bay (20/1 +60%)
Tasman Bay

20/1(+60%)
(7) Tasman Bay 20/1, Smart at 3 but lightly raced and lost his way badly for a couple of years. Re-joined Sir Mark Todd and well ridden to make all in handicap company at Bath 3 weeks ago. This asks a different question.
Rejuvenated winner of Bath handicap; perhaps up against it here but may get an easy lead.
7th
7th (4) Flying Honours (17/2 -55%)
Flying Honours

17/2(-55%)
(4) Flying Honours 17/2, Listed/Group 3 winner at 2. Finished lame in Dante at York last spring and not seen since (has been gelded). Interesting that leading connections are persevering but this no easy introduction.
Flopped in Dante on sole 3yo run; very promising 2yo; no surprise to see a big performance.

14:25 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Desert Hero merits plenty of respect on his return to action having filled third place in the St Leger on his most recent outing. That said, this trip may be on the sharp side for him and preference is for OKEECHOBEE, who chased home a high-class rival on his return from a 550-day break in a Listed event at Kempton. With the benefit of that outing, Harry Charlton's unexposed gelding could go one place better. Israr and Flying Honours both have the ability to go well but also have some questions to answer, while Checkandchallenge should not be underestimated.

OKEECHOBEE hasn't yet achieved as much as the likes of Israr and Desert Hero but there are reasons to oppose that pair at the forecast prices, and with the Harry Charlton-trained 5-y-o shaping very nicely on reappearance, he receives the vote.

Having returned from a long absence with a very promising Listed second, the unexposed 5yo OKEECHOBEE is taken to go one better.

1st (3) Charyn (9/4 +32%)
Charyn

9/4(+32%)
(3) Charyn 9/4, Very smart performer who proved better than ever returning from 7 months off when bolting up in listed race at Doncaster (8f, heavy) last month, able to find cover from a strong headwind but clearly the best at the weights anyhow. Every chance of following up with a repeat.
Above-average winner of the Doncaster Mile and looks set for a productive 4yo campaign.
2
2nd (2) Poker Face (9/2 +40%)
Poker Face

9/2(+40%)
(2) Poker Face 9/2, Smart performer who won listed race at Pontefract, Prix Quincey at Deauville and Prix Daniel Wildenstein at Longchamp last year. Found just one too strong in Group 2 at Milan (8f, soft) when last seen in November and makes seasonal return sporting first-time headgear.
Generally progressive and he beat Flight Plan at Pontefract in last start on home soil.
3
3rd (4) Lord North (10/3 -33%)
Lord North

10/3(-33%)
(4) Lord North 10/3, Came up short bidding for a fourth successive win in Dubai Turf at Meydan (9f, good) last month. He may be an 8-y-o now but remains a very smart performer and shouldn't be far away with William Buick on board for the first time.
Needs to prove he retains every ounce of ability but sets a high standard on peak form.
4
4th (6) Pogo (28/1 +30%)
Pogo

28/1(+30%)
(6) Pogo 28/1, Smart performer whose best efforts in 2023 when in frame in Criterion Stakes at Newmarket and Prix de la Foret at Longchamp. Has gone well fresh before but is now an 8-y-o and it's likely he'll prove vulnerable to younger legs after 6 months off (also best up to 7f nowadays).
Has gained his Group wins over 7f; not crying out for this return to 1m.
5th
5th (7) Witch Hunter (20/1 +20%)
Witch Hunter

20/1(+20%)
(7) Witch Hunter 20/1, Really smart effort when coming from last to first in Buckingham Palace Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot. Placed at listed level on next 2 outings, and back to winning ways in Group 2 Hungerford Stakes at Newbury (7f) in August. Was amiss on final outing however, so others appeal more on return.
Similar type to Pogo, being best known as a 7f performer; something to prove.
6th
6th (5) Nostrum (5/2 +0%)
Nostrum

5/2(+0%)
(5) Nostrum 5/2, Won his first 2 starts as a juvenile and returned last season with success in listed race at Newmarket. Possibly unsuited by ground at Goodwood a month later and returned lame when last seen in Group 3 at York (8.8f, good to firm) 8 months ago. Yard had just the six runners in 2024 so far.
Had excuses the last twice; still lightly raced and could well resume his progress.

15:00 Sandown Group 2 (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A progressive sort towards the end of last season with three victories in four starts, including a Group 2 at Longchamp, POKER FACE could be just the type to excel at five. The son of Fastnet Rock has run well here before and is narrowly preferred to Nostrum, who didn't quite hit the heights expected of him in 2023 but is of interest for a master trainer who is an expert with older horses. Charyn impressed on his return at Doncaster but may prefer softer ground, while Flight Plan has ground to find with the selection but was a taking winner at Leopardstown last September.

NOSTRUM has looked like a potential star at times in his short career to date, including when scoring on return as a 3-y-o, so Sir Michael Stoute's colt is fancied to repeat the feat at the expense of Lord North, who was unable to land a fourth successive victory in the Dubai Turf at Meydan last month but rates a major player with Buick on board for the first time. Charyn was impressive at Doncaster last month, so he's another who shouldn't be far away, too.

Doncaster Mile winner CHARYN (nap) is taken to show further progress and follow up. Nostrum is feared most.

Arabian Crown

5/6(+40%)
(1) Arabian Crown 5/6, Well-regarded colt who won his last 3 starts at 2 yrs, including 7f course maiden and 4-runner listed Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (impressive). Sets a good standard with prospect of more to come in 2024 and hard to oppose.
Impressive in the Zetland Stakes; among the top four in ante-post betting for the Derby.

Ran well in the Royal Lodge; should relish middle distances this year; major contender.

Not entered in the Derby but ties in closely with Macduff on Haydock Listed running.

Some way down the pecking order at Ballydoyle but is one of the main form contenders here.

Plenty of promise at Doncaster last season; likely to be suited by this new trip.

15:35 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Already a best-priced 12/1 for the Derby, ARABIAN CROWN can take this en route, having ended last season with an impressive success over this distance in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket. Three from four as a two-year-old, the son of Dubawi should have too much for Macduff, who gave every indication he would relish a step up in trip when staying on for fourth in the Royal Lodge. Similar comments may apply to the unexposed War Rooms, while recent Naas second Portland will attempt to provide Aidan O'Brien with just his second victory in this event.

ARABIAN CROWN is as short as 12/1 for the Derby and this exciting prospect can make a winning return. Macduff seems sure to improve also this year and looks the danger, with Remaadd and War Rooms a couple of other good prospects.

Arabian Crown was impressive in a soft-ground Zetland Stakes, while MACDUFF should have more to offer.

16:10 Sandown Stakes (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Secret Satire took a big leap forward from her introduction to score by just over a length at Lingfield in October but she does have a 6lb penalty to carry, which makes life a lot tougher. With that in mind, BEELEY looks the way to go. John & Thady Gosden's filly was denied by the smallest of margins over an extended mile at Nottingham and although withdrawn at the start twice since, she appears a smart prospect. De Ville cost 625,000gns and could improve on her Wolverhampton fourth.

SECRET SATIRE was much improved from her debut when winning at Lingfield in October and, with this further step up in trip promising to suit, she is taken to make a winning return. She can get the better of Beeley, who shaped well on her first outing and also holds an entry in the Oaks, while newcomer Siyola could be capable of playing a part.

The three Oaks entries bring the best form. BEATRICE SHILLING gets the percentage call ahead of Secret Satire then Beeley.

Solid 2yo campaign and may have needed reappearance, but more exposed than many of these.

4th (6) Queen Of Atlantis (20/1 -100%)
Queen Of Atlantis

20/1(-100%)
(6) Queen Of Atlantis 20/1, Completed an AW hat-trick during the winter, narrowly prevailing when upped to this trip at Lingfield on latest start in January. Gone up just 2 lb and she shouldn't be far away if able to continue the good work back on turf.
Completed AW hat-trick in January; this is hotter but she has a progressive profile.

5th (12) Monsieur Melee (8/1 -14%)
Monsieur Melee

8/1(-14%)
(12) Monsieur Melee 8/1, Failed to improve switched to a nursery when fourth at Doncaster (1m, good) on latest start in September. Gelded since and this step up in trip promises to suit, so he's worth a second look on return here with Oisin Murphy aboard.
This step up in trip could prompt improvement and he has the assistance of Oisin Murphy.
6th
6th (13) Tipsy Tiger (28/1 -12%)
Tipsy Tiger

28/1(-12%)
(13) Tipsy Tiger 28/1, Showed improved form to make a winning nursery debut at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) in October. Wasn't disgraced when third upped to 9f at Newmarket the following month but will need to step up in first-time cheekpieces in order to make a successful reappearance in this competitive handicap.
Heavy-ground winner last October; improvement needed on this reappearance; cheekpieces on.
7th
7th (11) Spaceport (8/1 +33%)
Spaceport

8/1(+33%)
(11) Spaceport 8/1, Largely creditable efforts in 2023, placed in nurseries won by High Point upped to this trip at Windsor and Newmarket on final 2 starts of that campaign. More needed in order to open his account but yard struck with a double-figure price winner of this last year and he's not without hope.
Promise in two nurseries last October and stable won last running of this race in 2022.
8th
8th (7) Brodie's Boy (18/1 -29%)
Brodie's Boy

18/1(-29%)
(7) Brodie's Boy 18/1, Ridden with more restraint upped to 1½m when opening his account with plenty to spare in a Kempton maiden last month. Back down in trip for this turf debut and improvement will be needed off this revised mark.
Readily won AW maiden last time; handicapper has reacted but the form reads well.
9th
9th (9) Fihrayn (12/1 +40%)
Fihrayn

12/1(+40%)
(9) Fihrayn 12/1, Performed to a similar level all 3 starts over a mile as a juvenile. Mixed messages pedigree-wise with regard to the suitability of this trip now pitched into a handicap and, in any case, improvement is needed.
The form of his fourth of 17 in Newmarket maiden suggests he could be on a good mark.
10th
10th (8) Across Earth (14/1 -17%)
Across Earth

14/1(-17%)
(8) Across Earth 14/1, Has shown ability on each of his 4 appearances, including when chasing home Brodie's Boy at Kempton on penultimate start. Will need to raise his game if he's to get his head in front here but certainly not without each-way hope. Yard also saddles Endosser.
Close second of four on handicap debut (1m4f, AW) and the winner has followed up.
11th
11th (2) Magnum Opus (16/1 -100%)
Magnum Opus

16/1(-100%)
(2) Magnum Opus 16/1, Improved with each of his 3 runs at 2 yrs, culminating in a fairly decisive success at Chelmsford (1m) in November. Gelded since and in good hands to progress now handicapping but it's likely that a few of these are better treated. Visor applied.
1m AW maiden win last November; gelded since; open to improvement now up in trip.
12th
12th (10) Endosser (20/1 -67%)
Endosser

20/1(-67%)
(10) Endosser 20/1, Made the frame on 3 of his 4 starts last year and runner-up in AW maidens over this trip at Lingfield and Chelmsford since returning from a break in February. Starting to look a tad exposed but nevertheless merits respect back in handicap company with Ryan Moore booked.
0-6 and others perhaps have greater potential, but ran well last time and Ryan Moore rides.

16:45 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Queen Of Atlantis is seeking the four-timer after getting the job done by a nose at Lingfield in January, but she will need to prove she is as effective back on turf. For that reason, a chance can be taken on GOODWOOD ODYSSEY, who was beaten a length by a potentially nice type over a mile at Kempton and now makes his handicap debut, with the step up in trip another possible source of improvement. Offer And Receive warrants a market check on his return after being gelded.

Cases can be made for several of these, with handicap debutants GOODWOOD ODYSSEY, Brioni and Offer And Receive arguably the trio with the greatest potential. The first-named shades preference having shaped as though more than ready for this step up in trip when runner-up on his reappearance at Kempton. Endosser, Monsieur Melee and Spaceport are live each-way candidates.

The Muir/Grassick yard won the latest running of this race in 2022 and SPACEPORT catches the eye on his reappearance.
