17:45 Sandown (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Tempus remains attractively handicapped on old form and it was another solid effort in third at Newmarket latest. He is noted, along with Dapper Gee Gee, but they've all got MAGICAL MERLIN to beat if he can build on what was a much-improved performance at Salisbury last month. He's only gone up 1lb for that half-length second and has won off higher marks in the past.

Archie Watson's TEMPUS is perhaps the one most likely to give his running and it was a solid enough effort last time at Newmarket.

18:15 Sandown (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

An impressive debut scorer at Hamilton in May, KOLKATA KNIGHT was deemed good enough for the Coventry at Royal Ascot and more recently a Listed contest at Newbury. He's struggled to get involved the last twice but could be worth chancing now his sights are lowered on his nursery introduction. This is a competitive heat, though, and chances are also given to the progressive pair Novelette and Country Artiste.

The vote goes to NOVELETTE whose stable won this last year with a filly who had also won her previous start at Yarmouth.

Last of five here on debut but in a warm race and no surprise should he improve plenty.

18:50 Sandown (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A promising second on debut at Haydock earlier in the month when only worn down late in the piece, LOOK TO THE STARS is likely to take all of the beating on this occasion. That may be at the main expense of Brotherhood Of Man, who has performed with plenty of credit on both career outings so far. Oxagon and newcomer Royal Standard may also have a say in proceedings.

An interesting race. OXAGON shaped with considerable promise in what is always a strong maiden at Newmarket's July meeting.

19:25 Sandown (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Narrowly denied in his attempt to break the maiden at Newbury last time out, EARTHWATCH can gain compensation off 2lb higher. Formerly a stable companion of the selection, Bintshuaa wasn't for catching at Ffos Las last month and she must enter calculations off a 3lb higher mark, as well as Blue Train, who got off the mark with a determined success over slightly further at Wolverhampton.

The last-time-out winners Bintshuaa and Blue Train are respected, but preference is for recent Newbury runner-up EARTHWATCH.

20:00 Sandown (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Manila Thriller accounted for a subsequent winner at Windsor on her latest outing and holds an obvious chance off only 3lb higher. Bintalina warrants a market check on her first start in a handicap, but the vote goes to POST RIDER. Oliver Cole's filly made the frame in this grade at Lingfield recently and goes off an unchanged mark. She sports first-time blinkers which might bring out the improvement required.

The vote goes to the well-bred CLUB CLASS, who showed plenty of promise in her qualifying runs and looks on a fair opening mark.

Whatsgoingonmarvin failed to justify short odds when attempting to complete the hat-trick at Ffos Las, but he still finished a fair second and remains of interest. Earnest Belief needs to be monitored in the betting market on his first outing in a handicap, but VALIANCY looks the one to side with. William Haggas' three-year-old got up for third on his handicap debut at Haydock and is just 1lb higher.

An interesting race in which VALIANCY (nap) gets the vote ahead of handicap newcomer Earnest Belief and Whatsgoingonmarvin.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
