Races & Results Thursday 25th May 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Silastar 1.5/1, 9/4, took his form up a notch when 12-length winner of handicap at Leicester (10f, heavy) 26 days ago. Up 7 lb but another bold showing is on the cards. 12l win at Leicester latest (albeit on soft) & a 7lb rise could have been worse; respected.

2nd (4) (8/1 +60%) Magical Mile
8
8/1(+60%)
(4) Magical Mile 8/1, Bagged 4 handicaps in 2022, including twice over this trip. Resumed from 8 months off with fair ninth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago so needs considering. No return to form on reappearance but may have needed it; won four times last year.

13
3rd (13) (9/1 -13%) Nonsuch Lad
9
9/1(-13%)
(13) Nonsuch Lad 9/1, C&D winner. Not discredited after 6 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Windsor (10f, heavy) 38 days ago. In the mix with Buick now in the saddle. Won over C&D last September and may have needed last month's reappearance; Buick booked.

4th (2) (8.5/1 +6%) Lady Reset
8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(2) Lady Reset 8.5/1, C&D winner but off for 8 months since posting a respectable second over hurdles at Uttoxeter. Has had a wind op too so she's not taken lightly. Can go well fresh and she returns to action on a competitive mark; not ruled out.
5th
9
5th (9) (12/1 +40%) Dark Island
12
12/1(+40%)
(9) Dark Island 12/1, Ended last year below par, coming in last of 5 in handicap at Kempton (11f) in December. Others more persuasive. Won at Kempton last September but struggled on next three starts; major turnaround needed.
6th
10
6th (10) (16/1 -33%) Regal Rambler
16
16/1(-33%)
(10) Regal Rambler 16/1, Runner-up on yard debut in 1m Newcastle novice in January. Hss twice failed to repeat that effort, though he looked rusty after 4 months off when fourth of six at Yarmouth 23 days ago. Can bounce back. Lightly raced 4yo who represents in-form yard, but weakened on sole previous run over 1m2f.
7th
6
7th (6) (6.5/1 +7%) Miss Bluebelle
6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(6) Miss Bluebelle 6.5/1, Hooded for 1st time when emphatically winning 9.5f handicap at Wolverhampton in November. Backed it up with a good second there off 8 lb higher mark in January. In the mix after a break. Improved form on AW in November/January but unproven on turf and the hood is missing.
8th
5
8th (5) (25/1 -150%) Night Arc
25
25/1(-150%)
(5) Night Arc 25/1, Got off the mark in 1m2f handicap at Leicester last May but not seen out since. Market can prove a good guide on his comeback run. Absent for a year but won when last seen and could still be well treated off 4lb higher.
9th
11
9th (11) (10/1 -67%) Aldbourne
10
10/1(-67%)
(11) Aldbourne 10/1, Landed 1m2f handicaps at Nottingham and Brighton last autumn. Well held on Doncaster return last month but may have needed that outing and can take a step forward now. Heavy ground may have been too much on return; interesting contender for yard in fine form.
10th
14
10th (14) (18/1 +10%) Motataabeq
18
18/1(+10%)
(14) Motataabeq 18/1, Lightly-raced 5-y-o who ended 2022 with good Lingfield second in December. Suffered a poor run on his return when last of five there 29 days ago. Considered off a 2 lb lower mark now. Lightly raced ex-Godolphin 5yo who isn't written off on his second start of the season.
11th
1
11th (1) (22/1 -10%) Bruno's Gold
22
22/1(-10%)
(1) Bruno's Gold 22/1, In good form until coming in only eighth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Windsor (10f, heavy) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces now refitted and he's the sort to bounce back. Good fourth two starts ago but below par last week and could do with settling better.
12th
7
12th (7) (125/1 -525%) Cephalus
125
125/1(-525%)
(7) Cephalus 125/1, Landed a four-timer on AW for Charles Hills in the space of 6 weeks in 2021-22. Off 11 months/gelded before coming in last of eight on yard debut at Lingfield 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Check the betting, but a revival is required on his second start for this yard.
LTO Selection:
18:12 Sandown Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MAGICAL MILE drops in class following a below-par run on his return to action at Haydock last month and this looks a more suitable task for him to bounce back in. He is rated 3lb above his last winning mark and cannot be underestimated with that in mind. Silastar bolted up on his latest outing over this distance and can give the selection plenty to think about, despite a 7lb rise, while Night Arc is another to consider now back from a break.
A case can be made for lots of these but SILASTAR still looks ahead of his mark raised 7 lb for his 12-length Leicester success so gets the vote. Miss Bluebelle was in fine form on the AW when last seen out and could emerge as the chief threat after her break, although the returning Lady Reset is another who can have a say along with Nonsuch Lad, Regal Rambler and Motataabeq.
Gary Moore and Ryan Moore won this last year and they hold strong claims with SILASTAR, who bolted up at Leicester last time.
(3) Elite Status 2.5/1, Sales prices increased markedly from foal to yearling stage and he looked useful when justifying short odds in the mud at Doncaster. Value for extra over the winning margin and he's a must for the shortlist. 325,000gns son of Havana Gold who could be smart after an impressive debut at Doncaster.
2
10
2nd (10) (11/1 +0%) World Of Darcy
11
11/1(+0%)
(10) World Of Darcy 11/1, Foaled February 15. €42,000 Soldier's Call colt. Dam 6f winner. Wasn't unbacked prior to making perfect start at Pontefract 3 weeks ago. Second (stablemate) has gone in since and he's open to progress, but more is needed in this company. Was able to be eased close home at Pontefract, the form of which has been franked.
3
4
3rd (4) (8/1 +11%) Hackman
8
8/1(+11%)
(4) Hackman 8/1, Half-brother to several winners and confirmed the promise of his debut behind Blue Storm when landing 5-runner maiden at Chester a fortnight ago. Bare form nothing out of the ordinary but there's more to come and stall one could be a plus. Improved on his debut third to breeze home at Chester; very quick and well drawn.
4
8
4th (8) (40/1 +0%) Shayekh
40
40/1(+0%)
(8) Shayekh 40/1, First past the post but subsequently demoted and he didn't look entirely straightforward again when second at Wetherby last week. That rather limits his potential. Has useful ability but others have achieved more and he's boxed wide in nine.
5th
6
5th (6) (12/1 +45%) Matters Most
12
12/1(+45%)
(6) Matters Most 12/1, Fetched 500,000 gns as a yearling and derived plenty from his debut run behind Dapper Valley when landing 8-runner novice at Salisbury 3 weeks ago, comfortably. Sure to improve again. It looked a winnable race at Salisbury (good to soft) with his market rival disappointing.
6th
1
6th (1) (3.33/1 +5%) Blue Storm
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(1) Blue Storm 3.33/1, £75,000 Blue Point half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Silver Surfer and smart 6f/6.5f winner Asjad. Dam 5f/6f winner. Displayed sharp turn of foot when making a taking winning debut at Newmarket last month (race has worked out). That form puts him right there with promise of more to come. His Newmarket win just about sets the standard and he's dropped lucky with the draw.
7th
9
7th (9) (33/1 -175%) Son Of Corballis
33
33/1(-175%)
(9) Son Of Corballis 33/1, Bred for longer trips so it was encouraging he made a winning debut over 5f at Tipperary last month. Probably didn't beat a great deal but he did it readily. Irish raider who was well backed when a winner at Tipperary; poor draw to overcome.
8th
7
8th (7) (6/1 +0%) On Point
6
6/1(+0%)
(7) On Point 6/1, Foaled April 10. Blue Point colt. Half-brother to 9.5f winner Willow Cove and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Fairy Cross. Dam winner up to 9f (2-y-o 7f winner). Looked a shade green but still got the job done in 3-runner maiden at Newmarket 18 days ago. Sure to build on that for top yard. Only beat two rivals at Newmarket but promises to do better on this quicker ground.
9th
2
9th (2) (9/1 -29%) Dapper Valley
9
9/1(-29%)
(2) Dapper Valley 9/1, Bred to be an early type and knew his job when making a winning debut at Newbury (heavy) last month. Encounters different ground but he looks the part and seems sure to improve. Did it clearcut at Newbury; 2yos from this yard who go in first time are usually smart.
10th
5
10th (5) (10/1 +38%) Love Billy Boy
10
10/1(+38%)
(5) Love Billy Boy 10/1, Speedily bred and lived up to his pedigree when a smooth winner of 6-runner novice at Musselburgh last month. Well worth place in this company. Form of debut win has taken some knocks and the draw could have been kinder.
LTO Selection:
18:42 Sandown Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A case can be made for several of these, but ELITE STATUS bolted up on his racecourse debut over this trip at Doncaster earlier this month and he left a strong impression that there would be more to come. The fact that Karl Burke's charge holds an entry for the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar later in the year suggests he is showing all the right signs at home and he would be dangerous to ignore with that in mind. Newmarket winner On Point is a well-related sort and cannot be underestimated for powerful connections, while Dapper Valley and Blue Storm add further spice to the race.
This could shake up the juvenile pecking order with BLUE STORM just about the most persuasive option having seen off a quartet of next-time-out winners on debut at Newmarket, with stall 2 also a positive. Elite Status showed why his sales prices shot up from a foal to a yearling when a taking winner at Doncaster and is a massive threat if as effective on this drying ground, with On Point another to take seriously for top connections.
A low draw has been a significant advantage down the years and the very fast HACKMAN could be sitting pretty in stall one.
(3) Roberto Escobarr 1.4/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who confirmed he retains ability on back of 13 months off when third in 5-runner AW minor event (16.5f) at Wolverhampton in March. Equally effective on turf and fancied to give a good account. Lightly raced recently; 0-3 in Group races but this would be the weakest he's contested.
2
2
2nd (2) (4.5/1 -80%) Nate The Great
4.5
4.5/1(-80%)
(2) Nate The Great 4.5/1, Runner-up in this race 12 months ago and dispelled trio of lesser efforts thereafter with success on final start at Newmarket (2m, listed) in September. Not at best on latest outing in Group 3 Sagaro Stakes on latest run 3 weeks ago but not out of things on pick of his form. Runner-up last year to Quickthorn and has very solid form claims; excuses latest.
3
4
3rd (4) (10/1 -11%) Sleeping Lion
10
10/1(-11%)
(4) Sleeping Lion 10/1, Very capable performer when on-song and probably best not to read too much into his reverses at Kempton since returning from 10 months in February (wasn't seen to best effect on either occasion). Whether this will be run to suit is open to question, however. Likely to need career-best form to prevail on these terms and he's no spring chicken.
4
5
4th (5) (66/1 -32%) Princess Anne
66
66/1(-32%)
(5) Princess Anne 66/1, Fair staying performer who doubled career tally at Deauville (16.9f) in January prior to good second in minor event at Chantilly (13.4f) a month later. Not in same form at Longchamp on latest outing and work cut out on these terms upped markedly in class. Dual AW winner in France; the balance of her form hints at limitations in this company.
5th
1
5th (1) (1.5/1 -20%) Enemy
1.5
1.5/1(-20%)
(1) Enemy 1.5/1, Smart gelding who resumed winning ways on the back of a wind op at Meydan (12f) in January. Remained in form since, not seen to best effect back on these shores in race that favoured speed over stamina when fifth in Ormonde Stakes 2 weeks ago. Player with tongue tie refitted. Bit below his best the last twice but back on good ground he has the form to feature.
LTO Selection:
19:12 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
ENEMY has proven to be capable of more than his most recent showing in the Ormonde at Chester and this stiffer stamina test can see the gelded son of Muhaarar make a return to the winner's enclosure. A half-brother to Group 1 winner Magic Wand, he seems capable of bouncing back today. Nate The Great was a Listed winner last season and looks the biggest threat to the selection, while Roberto Escobarr also warrants consideration.
ENEMY seemed unsuited by the way the race developed when fifth in the Ormonde Stakes at Chester 2 weeks ago but holds sound claims on these terms and gets the nod to get back on track. Nate The Great (runner-up 12 months ago) needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Ascot earlier this month but could bounce back if granted his own way in front. Low-mileage Roberto Escobarr can also get involved.
Tactics are likely to be key and, provided this pans out more favourably than 12 months ago, then ENEMY should take some beating.
19:12 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(5) Hukum 5/1, Very smart and likeable type who enhanced his fine strike rate when gaining first success at the highest level in the Coronation Cup at Epsom (1½m, good) last June. Absent since (sustained serious leg injury) and whether he possesses the requisite speed to mix it at this trip remains to be seen. Off since injuring himself when impressive in last June's Coronation Cup; may need 1m4f+.
2
4
2nd (4) (0.4/1 +25%) Desert Crown
0.4
0.4/1(+25%)
(4) Desert Crown 0.4/1, Impressive winner of sole 2-y-o start and looked potentially top class when landing the Dante at York (10.2f, good) and Epsom Derby last season. Sidelined with an injury since the Derby but, with just 3 starts under his belt, he remains open to improvement and will be hard to beat if all is well. Unbeaten colt who oozed class in last year's Derby; disappointing if he's beaten.
3
6
3rd (6) (16/1 +36%) Solid Stone
16
16/1(+36%)
(6) Solid Stone 16/1, Progressive in 2021 and took another step forward when landing the Group 2 Huxley at Chester last spring. However, limitations exposed thereafter and there's little doubt that Desert Crown is the stable first-string. Proven Group performer who could be dangerous if let loose on the lead under Ryan Moore.
4
1
4th (1) (10/1 -67%) Cash
10
10/1(-67%)
(1) Cash 10/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who was just touched off by subsequent Irish Derby winner Westover on last season's reappearance in the C&D Classic Trial. Again found just one too good on return this time round in listed event at Ascot (1m, good) and remains open to improvement back now moving back up in trip. Pushed the Lockinge second close on his reappearance and has the potential to rate higher.
5th
2
5th (2) (80/1 -60%) Chichester
80
80/1(-60%)
(2) Chichester 80/1, Ready winner of a conditions event at Newcastle (1m) and solid second in a valuable contest over the same C&D last month. That form is solid (winner has since finished third in the Lockinge) but it still leaves him some way below the level required to beat the likes of Desert Crown and Hukum. Will give his running but looks outclassed in only his second Group-race assignment.
6th
3
6th (3) (18/1 +10%) Claymore
18
18/1(+10%)
(3) Claymore 18/1, Quickly made up into a smart colt in 2022, the highlight of which was his success in the Group 3 Hampton Court at Royal Ascot (1¼m, good to firm) last June. Shade disappointing in a York Group 2 the following month, however, and absent since Royal Ascot winner and strong suspicion that this lightly raced colt has more to offer.
LTO Selection:
19:42 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Sir Michael Stoute first won this race in 1991 and has been responsible 11 other high-class victors in the intervening period. Therefore, it's almost an understatement to say last year's Derby hero, DESERT CROWN, follows a tried and trusted path on his first public racecourse appearance since Epsom last June. The unbeaten son of Nathaniel has untapped potential and it looks like all systems go for what is sure to be an intriguing four-year-old campaign. Last season's Coronation Cup winner, Hukum, looks the chief threat, while Cash has previous C&D experience and is open to further progression.
All eyes will be firmly affixed to the unbeaten DESERT CROWN, who makes his eagerly-awaited comeback in a race that his yard has won with several high-class performers in recent years. The Nathaniel colt was most impressive in the Derby on just his third career start last June and, though absent since owing to an injury, it's unlikely that he will be found wanting fitness-wise. Cash could be the one for the forecast, given that Hukum is likely to find this trip too sharp.
All eyes are on last year's impressive Derby winner DESERT CROWN and he can provide his stable with a 12th success in this race.
19:42 Sandown Group 3 (Class 1) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Light And Dark 20/1, Useful handicapper but performed no more than respectably in 2 outings in Dubai at the start of this year. Below his last winning mark but that was in 2020. Others more compelling. Capable 7f/1m handicapper but his tendency to start slowly continues to hold him back.
1
9
1st (9) (8.5/1 +29%) Indemnify
8.5
8.5/1(+29%)
(9) Indemnify 8.5/1, Off the mark in a Nottingham maiden last August and good second on 1m Salisbury handicap debut next time. Ran as if amiss at Hamilton final start. Returns as an unexposed sort but Yaanaas has to be considered the yard first string. Progressive 3yo until an excusable final defeat; now gelded; can continue his progress.
2
5
2nd (5) (5/1 +38%) Helm Rock
5
5/1(+38%)
(5) Helm Rock 5/1, Three wins in the second half of last season and as good as ever when third of 15 in 1m Ascot handicap 3 weeks ago, with the reopposing Yaanaas a neck ahead in second. Thereabouts under William Buick. Lacks the same scope for improvement as some but he has the form to feature.
3
1
3rd (1) (8.5/1 -21%) Aerion Power
8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(1) Aerion Power 8.5/1, Useful but lightly raced in recent times. May have needed the outing when fourth of 7 on 1m Leicester reappearance 26 days ago. Should strip fitter now but possibly vulnerable to some of the less-exposed sorts in this line-up. Useful handicapper but he has top weight and there are improvers lurking.
4
4
4th (4) (3/1 -9%) Yaanaas
3
3/1(-9%)
(4) Yaanaas 3/1, Won maiden/novice events on AW in the spring (beat Quantico ½ length latterly) and shaped well when second of 15 on 1m Ascot handicap debut 3 weeks ago, travelling like one ahead of his mark. That experience of a big-field handicap should aid his development and there's surely more to come. Relinquished unbeaten record in a strong Ascot handicap; entitled to improve some more.
5th
2
5th (2) (25/1 -56%) Azano
25
25/1(-56%)
(2) Azano 25/1, Not the most consistent but showed he's still useful on his day when second in 1m Newmarket handicap 3 weeks ago. Solid 2nd last time at Newmarket but no guarantees that he'll be as good again.
6th
10
6th (10) (22/1 -10%) Dingle
22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Dingle 22/1, Good start for this yard on AW, making a winning return from wind surgery at Newcastle (1m) in March. Creditable third at Lingfield (1m again) on Good Friday. Has some form on turf but all wins have been achieved on AW. Not that prolific with three wins in 21 starts but he's posted his best figures on the AW.
7th
8
7th (8) (100/1 -400%) Yantarni
100
100/1(-400%)
(8) Yantarni 100/1, Useful form when first and second in 1m Newmarket handicaps at the end of last summer. Sold out of Charlie Appleby's stable after a disappointing run at Ascot on final 3-y-o start. Joined a shrewd yard. Betting perhaps the best guide to what's expected on this comeback run. Ex-Godolphin, for whom he did well in two HQ handicaps last autumn; bought for £100,000.
8th
6
8th (6) (9/1 -13%) Quantico
9
9/1(-13%)
(6) Quantico 9/1, Won 2 1m AW novices last year. Improved again when ½-length second to the reopposing Yaanaas in Kempton novice in April. Conceded 3 lb to Roger Varian's charge on that occasion and weighted to turn the tables. Does need to prove he's as effective on turf, though. Conceding 3lb to Yaanaas when mowed down by that rival at Kempton; h'cap debut.
7
7
|PU| (7) (2.25/1 +10%) Assessment
2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(7) Assessment 2.25/1, Very lightly raced and overcame an absence to make an impressive winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last month. Won sole turf start. Withdrawn after breaking out of stall and running loose at York last week (had been well backed). Open to further improvement and an obvious player. Returned from 11 months off with a very taking handicap debut win at Kempton; up 6lb.
LTO Selection:
20:12 Sandown Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Yaanaas is an interesting contender on just his second start in a handicap and is one to monitor closely in the betting, while similar comments apply to Quantico (second), who was just behind Roger Varian's representative when the former scored on the Polytrack at Kempton in April, and is respected on 4lb better terms. However, Sir Michael Stoute holds a strong hand, with Aerion Power and ASSESSMENT both looking capable of posting bold efforts. The latter is especially appealing, given his lightly-raced profile, and, with Ryan Moore in the saddle, he looks the main hope for his yard here.
A cracking handicap which may be best narrowed down to the 3 lightly-raced improvers in the field. YAANAAS has run a cracker in an Ascot handicap since defeating Quantico in a Kempton novice last month and can get the better of Archie Watson's charge again. Assessment won impressively on his Kempton handicap debut and should also be in the thick of things.
Roger Varian's YAANAAS (nap) got no cover when second on his handicap debut at Ascot and that admirable effort needs upgrading.
(4) Greek Order 2/1, Well-bred colt who has already shown fairly useful form and, while beaten at odds on when third in a novice at Salisbury on return, he shaped pretty well. Could have been let in lightly off a mark of 80. Bang there in three 7f novice events and perhaps needed the latest at Salisbury.
2
11
2nd (11) (12/1 -9%) Dancing In Paris
12
12/1(-9%)
(11) Dancing In Paris 12/1, Related to three winners and left previous form behind when making a successful handicap debut at Haydock last month. Type to do better still and merits respect despite wide draw. Won narrowly at Haydock; up 7lb in a deeper race and the draw has not been kind.
3
10
3rd (10) (7/1 +0%) Island Star
7
7/1(+0%)
(10) Island Star 7/1, Signs of ability in a couple of runs for Marcus Tregoning last term and improved on return/debut for new yard when landing 1m Kempton maiden. Good third in handicap company since and every reason to think he'll be thereabouts once more. Successful stable debut in a 1m Kempton maiden before coming up short on h'cap debut.
4
5
4th (5) (3.33/1 +52%) Umberto
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(5) Umberto 3.33/1, Fairly useful form so far and travelled with purpose when third in a maiden at Yarmouth 23 days ago. Has some strong form and looks capable of better now handicapping. Brings plenty of potential into handicaps and William Buick is 2-8 for the yard.
5th
8
5th (8) (125/1 -150%) Marinara
125
125/1(-150%)
(8) Marinara 125/1, Fairly useful form to date, again offering encouragement when fourth in a maiden at Chelmsford 142 days ago. Handicapper appears to have dealt her a rather harsh opening mark, however. Has to overcome a wide draw and what could be a tough mark on her turf/handicap debut.
6th
9
6th (9) (16/1 +36%) New Dayrell
16
16/1(+36%)
(9) New Dayrell 16/1, Siugns of ability last season and was stretched by 11f when last seen 160 days ago. Drop back in distance will help on seasonal/handicap debut. Poor final run but this mark might be okay if can tap into his initial promise.
7th
3
7th (3) (16/1 -45%) Star Player
16
16/1(-45%)
(3) Star Player 16/1, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 11/8). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Bred to do better still and likely to be tuned up for this return, so no forlorn hope. Had form figures of 121 in nurseries for the Crisfords; might be on a tough mark.
8th
7
8th (7) (40/1 -21%) Almarin
40
40/1(-21%)
(7) Almarin 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 25/1) 36 days ago. Might get back on track returned to a sounder surface, but mark demands improvement. 2yo winner who now has to bounce back from a very laboured handicap debut at Newmarket.
9th

9th (2) (7.5/1 +0%) Prince Of Zenda
7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(2) Prince Of Zenda 7.5/1, Progressive last year and, visored/switched to turf, made a solid start in handicaps when runner-up at Ascot 13 days ago. Should give another good account. Came from last to finish second behind a winner who was thrown in at Ascot.

10th (14) (33/1 +34%) Dream Pirate
33
33/1(+34%)
(14) Dream Pirate 33/1, Progressed in novices but underperformed on handicap debut at Newmarket last time. Gelded since and too soon to completely write off. Novice promise and has been gelded since his no-show on h'cap debut at Newmarket.
11th

11th (13) (22/1 -120%) Ashmore
22
22/1(-120%)
(13) Ashmore 22/1, Stepped up on previous efforts when an excellent second on handicap debut at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Likely to go on improving and could get involved. Up 3lb for his narrow Lingfield defeat but he looks a winner waiting to happen.
12th

12th (16) (33/1 -50%) Buy The Dip
33
33/1(-50%)
(16) Buy The Dip 33/1, Good second of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. His three AW efforts read way better than his same number of turf runs.
13th

13th (12) (20/1 -122%) Garrick Street
20
20/1(-122%)
(12) Garrick Street 20/1, Related to numerous winners and boasts a progressive profile. Handicapper has taken no chances with opening mark but he's worthy of interest with the scope for better. Three encouraging AW runs and should have some potential off this sort of mark.
14th

14th (6) (25/1 -79%) Dutch Kingdom
25
25/1(-79%)
(6) Dutch Kingdom 25/1, Left previous efforts behind when making a winning handicap debut at Kempton a couple of months ago. May do better still and worth considering on turf debut. Made a successful debut by a narrow margin in first-time blinkers at Kempton; up 2lb.
LTO Selection:
20:42 Sandown Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The betting market surrounding the likes of Dancing In Paris, a game winner at Haydock last month, and Dutch Kingdom, who has undergone a wind operation since winning on the all-weather in March, should be informative. However, the vote goes to the well-bred GREEK ORDER, who looks more than ready for this step up in trip after finding himself done for toe over an inadequate 7f in a tactical affair at Salisbury three weeks ago. Prince of Zenda, who retains a visor after an improved effort at Ascot 13 days, is another taken seriously
This has the makings of a strong 3yo handicap but GREEK ORDER is bred to be better than a mark of 80 and each of his three runs to date have contained promise, so he's worth chancing with Ryan Moore on board. Umberto and Island Star are two of several others who arrive with the scope for improvement.
This is a very open finale but UMBERTO appeals most, followed by Greek Order, Ashmore and Prince Of Zenda.

This is the 16:15 Kempton race from the video above backed at 28/1 earlier in the day.
