14:05 Sandown (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (14/1 -133%) Fiorella Princess	14 14/1(-133%)	(4) Fiorella Princess 14/1, Ran to form when beaten a length off 65 at Lingfield last time; wide draw; effective at 5f/6f on a sound surface; prefers positive handling and is on a good mark. On dangerous mark & comes here in form; slow ground a query but sire's record offers hope.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/4 +18%) Danger Alert	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(1) Danger Alert 9/4, Returned to form when beaten a length off a mark of 69 over 6f at Epsom last time; effective from 5f to 6f and acts on soft and good; well treated if building on that revival. 2nd in both C&D starts; well suited by slow ground; laboured effort at Brighton on Monday.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 +14%) Roman Spring	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Roman Spring 12/1, Produced a poor effort when beaten 5 1/2l in a 6f handicap at Brighton last time; suited by 6f and a sound surface but out of form. Won a 6f classified event in July; more recent efforts leave him looking vulnerable.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 -13%) South Shore Island	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(6) South Shore Island 17/2, Well backed and produced a better effort when upped in trip with headgear off, finishing fourth beaten 4l in a 6f Salisbury handicap last time; suited by 6f/7f and acts on a sound surface; mark has eased. Handicap mark tumbling but it's been hard work in 2025; others are more appealing.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -115%) Mammy	14 14/1(-115%)	(7) Mammy 14/1, Close to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 54 over 6f at Lingfield last time; wide draw; effective from 6f to 7f on a sound surface; current mark looks ungenerous. Placed on her last two starts but ground slower than good remains a concern.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +44%) Sub Thirteen	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(5) Sub Thirteen 9/2, Showed better form when fourth, beaten 6l in a 6f handicap at Chepstow latest; effective at 5f/6f and acts on good ground though best with cut; mark is easing. Well treated again now and should be at concert pitch after two runs back from a break.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 -344%) Twilight Madness	20 20/1(-344%)	(2) Twilight Madness 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off 68 at Chelmsford last time; returning from a break; suited by 5f and acts on any surface; in solid form. On a good mark but absent since May and this ground might not be optimal.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/2 +78%) Colorada Dancer	4.5 9/2(+78%)	(9) Colorada Dancer 9/2, Made too much use of and was well beaten in a 6f handicap at Brighton last time; effective at 6f/7f and acts on soft and good; probably on a stiff enough mark. 6f classified win last month; unplaced in two handicaps since and up in class today.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/1 -27%) Merrimack	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Merrimack 7/1, Scored by a neck off 64 at Windsor on his penultimate start; had every chance but was a bit below form when fourth, beaten 3l off 65 last time; suited by 5f, acts on any surface; best form when making the running. Several good runs, including a Windsor win, this year; latest 4th needs bettering though.

14:05 Sandown (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This is competitive for the grade and several are notable. Twilight Madness is well handicapped based on his peak form. However, he hasn't won on turf since July 2021 and isn't without risk. Merrimack has much more recent winning form to his name and could have a say if he handles the forecast going. However, preference is for proven mudlark SUB THIRTEEN, who runs off 4lb below his last winning mark.

Fiorella Princess is respected but SUB THIRTEEN has slipped in the weights and has conditions to suit.

14:35 Sandown (Class 4) 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (13/8 -123%) Esna	1.625 13/8(-123%)	(5) Esna 13/8, Produced a good effort when runner-up, beaten 2l, in a maiden here on debut, just tiring late up the hill. Trainer in form; bred for 7/8f, handled soft ground; should improve for that first run. Runner-up to a good filly on her debut here and fully entitled to improve on that form.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/11 +60%) Morshdi	0.909091 10/11(+60%)	(3) Morshdi 10/11, 16 Mar; Dubawi colt; full-brother to Nakheel, high-class at 15f; dam stakes winner; top trainer; obvious contender Brother to winners Nakheel (1m2f/14.5f; Group 2; RPR 110) and Elraaed (1m/1m2f; 91).
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 +60%) Shadowmere	20 20/1(+60%)	(4) Shadowmere 20/1, Sweated and pulled very hard when well beaten in a maiden here on only start. By a middle-distance sire out of a sprinting dam; needs to settle to realise potential. 100-1 for his recent debut over C&D (soft) and pulled too hard to give himself a chance.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -27%) Montague Menace	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Montague Menace 7/1, 18 Mar; 55,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Mehmas; full-brother to Sunshine Soul, useful at 6f; dam very useful at 11f; top trainer; likely to be game 55,000euros breeze-up buy out of a 10.6f AW winner (RPR 85); respected newcomer.
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 -175%) Midnight Bandit	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Midnight Bandit 33/1, Raced too freely and failed to see out the soft ground when well beaten in a maiden at Ascot on only start. Should stay 10f as a 3yo; quite a nice sort and open to marked improvement. Led early over this far at Ascot (soft) but trailed home a remote last.

14:35 Sandown (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ESNA, a daughter of top-class sprinter Starman and a half-sister to five winners, posted an encouraging second to a potentially useful prospect when she was introduced over C&D 18 days ago. Midnight Bandit and Shadowmere were less eye-catching on their respective debuts and need to improve. Therefore, Morshdi, a full-brother to Group 2 winner Nakheel, could be a bigger danger.

Brian Meehan's ESNA ran to a fair level on her debut here and she'll encounter similar conditions this afternoon.

15:05 Sandown (Class 4) 8f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/11 -27%) Accredit	0.363636 4/11(-27%)	(1) Accredit 4/11, Produced a good effort when third, beaten 2l in a maiden over 7f here on debut under a considerate ride. From a top course trainer and bred to stay 10f. Acted on soft and action should suit fast ground. A likeable type with more to come. Beaten favourite on debut here but finished third after turning for home in last.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -11%) Plan C	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Plan C 5/1, Solid effort when 4 1/4l third in a novice over 7f at Kempton on his most recent run, shaping as though wanting further. By a sprinter sire but looks as if he will stay 1m+, and he acts on a sound surface. Improvement is possible. Improved third at Kempton where he ran on encouragingly from off the pace.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 +27%) Hatteen	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(2) Hatteen 11/2, 5 Feb; 120,000gns Lope De Vega colt; dam fair at 10f; top trainer; worth watching in the market but not the easiest race for introduction 120,000gns yearling; first foal; dam unplaced 1m2f-1m4f (RPR 76).

15:05 Sandown (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ACCREDIT is probably the safe play and this could be straightforward if he builds on his debut third posted over 7f here last month. A son of Dubawi out of a winning half-sister to Oaks and dual Arc winner Enable, his pedigree is out of the top drawer. Hatteen has a less auspicious profile but could beat Plan C for second.

It's difficult to get away from the regally bred ACCREDIT who made such a positive start to his career here last month.

15:35 Sandown (Class 1) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +26%) Cicero's Gift	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(2) Cicero's Gift 10/3, Ran to form when second, beaten 3/4l, in the Prix Quincey (G3) at Deauville last time. Off a short break; suited by 1m, acts on soft and good but perhaps not fast ground; high-class at best. Ran right up to his best on favoured soft ground when close up in a French Group 3.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 +44%) Balmacara	14 14/1(+44%)	(1) Balmacara 14/1, Raced away from the action, presumably to help settle the field, in a handicap at Ascot most recently. Suited by 10f and likes some give, but can be too enthusiastic. Dual novice winner with notable form in handicaps; no easy task on these terms.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 -71%) Sallaal	3 3/1(-71%)	(3) Sallaal 3/1, Maintained steady progress when winning a handicap at Hamilton by 2l last time. Suited by 1m and acts on any going; shows a good attitude and is a high-class prospect. Three wins and a Listed defeat; progressive son of Frankel who holds a Group 1 entry.
4	4 4th (4) (40/1 -122%) Celestial Orbit	40 40/1(-122%)	(4) Celestial Orbit 40/1, Had a poor trip but produced a disappointing effort off a break, beaten 7 1/4l in the Fairy Bridge Stakes (G3) at Tipperary last time. Effective at 7f and probably suited by easy ground, but has a good bit to prove. Listed winner and Group 3-placed; can excuse last two defeats but soft ground a first.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/2 -11%) Chantilly Lace	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(5) Chantilly Lace 5/2, From the yard that won this last year. Ran to form when 1/2l third in the Valiant Stakes (G3) at Ascot most recently. Suited by 1m, probably acts on any going, and is reliable. Has run well in Group 1s so major player back at Listed level; should enjoy the ground.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 -80%) Pina Sonata	9 9/1(-80%)	(6) Pina Sonata 9/1, Raced too freely when stepped up in class and finished down the field in the Prix Rothschild (G1) at Deauville last time. Usually consistent, with trainer in form. Effective at 8/9f and acts on good to soft; still open to improvement. Dual novice winner who couldn't cope with a French Group 1; can no doubt do better.

15:35 Sandown (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Cicero's Gift hit the crossbar in Group 3 company at Deauville last month and arguably sets the standard on the back of that performance. However, preference is for the unexposed SALLAAL. Roger Varian's colt hand plenty in hand when scoring off a mark of 97 at Hamilton last time and that form suggests that he should be capable of making his mark at this level. Chantilly Lace was also placed in a Group 3 last time but this arguably tougher as she takes on colts/geldings.

Chantilly Lace has held her own in Group 1s so has to be feared but the Frankel colt SALLAAL (nap) retains significant potential.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7/2 -17%) Maeva	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(2) Maeva 7/2, Well backed on handicap debut, winning by 5 1/2l off 65 at Chelmsford last time. Suited by 1m and handles both soft and sound surfaces, though now meets a tougher mark. Hosed up on handicap debut; raised 13lb but could well come up with more.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +9%) Niminy Piminy	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(1) Niminy Piminy 5/2, Well backed but had slightly too much to do when beaten a neck off 80 at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f/8f on a sound surface and looks to have a little more to come. Slow ground is an unknown but unlucky not to defy 1lb lower on the AW last time.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/4 +63%) Lady Mariko	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(4) Lady Mariko 9/4, Well treated up 2lb, she improved again when benefiting from a pace collapse to win by a length off 69 over 7f at Yarmouth in July. Ran to form on soft when third, beaten 3l off 74 last time. Consistent but her mark now looks stiff. More exposed than some but a dual winner and third here last week on soft ground.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +0%) Hackney Diamonds	11 11/1(+0%)	(7) Hackney Diamonds 11/1, Went for home a long way out when 4 1/4l third in a 9f handicap at Hamilton most recently. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time and a notable jockey is booked. Effective from 7f to 10f but comes here out of form. New cheekpieces; well handicapped on best form and some of that came on slow ground.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/2 +22%) Naga	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(6) Naga 7/2, Showed promise on debut but was too free on her last two starts and has yet to build on that potential. From a top course trainer, she may be better suited to a sounder surface and needs to settle after a break. Potentially on a good mark if tapping back into the promise of last year's sole run.

16:10 Sandown (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Naga is bred to be much better than this opening mark of 70 but a safer option is NIMINY PIMINY, who went some way to atoning for a disappointing handicap debut when returning from a break to go close at Kempton. That form has been franked by horses behind her and Ollie Sangster's filly can go one better. Maeva has been walloped with a 13lb rise for an admittedly bloodless Chelmsford triumph, but still has to be respected.

There's a chance that connections have been waiting for soft ground with NAGA and the potential is there to be well handicapped.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +14%) Atherstone Warrior	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Atherstone Warrior 3/1, Ran to form when ridden to stay the trip and beaten 4l off 78 at Epsom last time. Effective from 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; generally reliable and looks well treated. Only beaten 3.5l at Epsom last time and the winner followed up at Doncaster last weekend.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) Sir William	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Sir William 2/1, Scored by 2l off 72 at Windsor on his penultimate start and ran to form when second off 4lb higher last time. Suited by 10f, acts on soft and good, not tried on quicker ground; very reliable. Consistent; only narrowly failed to follow up his Windsor win at Newbury 20 days ago.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/3 +17%) Dancing Tiger	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(9) Dancing Tiger 10/3, Ran to form on heavy for the first time when landing a handicap by 2l off 66 at Goodwood last time. Seems most effective at 10f, acts on any ground, and is up 4lb. First run on slow ground when winning well at Goodwood; 4lb rise could have been worse.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -80%) Perfect Scoundrel	18 18/1(-80%)	(4) Perfect Scoundrel 18/1, Failed to see out the trip on heavy when fourth, beaten 8l, in a novice at Goodwood last time. Effective from 10-12f on a sound surface and may still have more to come. Beaten between about 5l and 13l in his three qualifying runs; likely best watched for now.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 -65%) Jonnie	33 33/1(-65%)	(8) Jonnie 33/1, Yard won this race last year. Unproven on soft ground and well beaten in a maiden at Windsor latest. Returns from a short break; showed promise first two starts but may not handle soft; hard to evaluate. Unexposed and makes handicap debut in a race his yard has won twice in three years.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +25%) The Bellhop	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) The Bellhop 12/1, Possibly failed to stay when comfortably held in a novice over 12f at Kempton last time. Effective at 10f, may not truly stay further, acts on fast ground; tricky to assess. Not obviously progressive but a handicap debut and the sire loved soft ground.
7th	2 7th (2) (15/2 -7%) Advancing	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Advancing 15/2, Well backed and ran to form when beaten 3l off 80 over 11f at Kempton last time. Effective between 8-11f, acts on good ground, and arrives in excellent form. Looks handicapped about right but slower ground might trigger something.
8th	1 8th (1) (20/1 -167%) Big Sip	20 20/1(-167%)	(1) Big Sip 20/1, Stayed on but ran below form when beaten 6l in a handicap over 11f at Southwell last time in a visor. Effective from 8-11f and best on fast ground; below par on sole run on soft, leaving a bit to prove. 1-9; only midfield in a Racing League handicap after leaving Andrew Balding.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -75%) Mahogany Bay	28 28/1(-75%)	(7) Mahogany Bay 28/1, Probably needed the run when beaten 10l in a handicap over 8f at Southwell last time. Trainer in form; suited by 1m, may not stay further, acts on good to soft; something to prove. Still unexposed; best RPR came on good to soft and softer here could benefit.

16:45 Sandown (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Sir William defeated DANCING TIGER (second) at Windsor before coming up just short in his follow-up bid at Newbury. Although respected, the latter can exact his revenge. Roger Teal's gelding made amends for that earlier defeat when scoring at Goodwood latest and is now 3lb better off with that rival. Advancing might not be far away either and also makes the shortlist.

A few with chances but SIR WILLIAM has compiled a solid profile in handicaps and can confirm Windsor placings with Dancing Tiger.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (22/1 -120%) Concert Party	22 22/1(-120%)	(3) Concert Party 22/1, Raced more freely than ideal when beaten 7l in a 9f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; form is difficult to assess accurately and mark probably stiff. Fifth on handicap debut on the AW, finishing a length behind the more experienced Veraison.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Huggable	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Huggable 4/1, Step up in trip to 10f suited when scoring by 6l off 60 at Epsom penultimate start; beaten 1/2l off 66 last time; effective at 10f on a sound surface and mark still looks workable. Progressing but 3lb higher than when beaten last time; unraced on slow ground.
3	2 3rd (2) (13/8 -8%) Itraaq	1.625 13/8(-8%)	(2) Itraaq 13/8, Didn't quite stay 10f when beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden at Goodwood last time; hood first time; barely gets 10f but acts on fast ground; good-looking filly with more to come. Underwhelming start to career (1m-1m2f); hood added for handicap debut.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 +59%) Amalfina	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(5) Amalfina 13/2, Did too much early in blinkers when beaten 8l in a handicap at Beverley last time; visor first time; trainer in form; back from a short break; form is erratic and hard to judge but mark appears stiff. 0-5 and has failed to raise her modest profile in handicaps (1m5f/1m2f); more headgear.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -60%) Hot Topic	12 12/1(-60%)	(6) Hot Topic 12/1, Didn't stay when fourth beaten 13l in a 10f maiden at Yarmouth latest; probably best at 7/8f on a sound surface; looked flattered second start. Much depends on whether she'll appreciate today's slow ground; pedigree bodes well.
6th	7 6th (7) (13/2 -44%) Oceans Charm	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(7) Oceans Charm 13/2, Ran to form up in trip when beaten 1 1/4l off 62 at Ffos Las last time; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; consistent performer. One of the better form options after finishing second off this mark at Ffos Las recently.

17:17 Sandown (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Having record an emphatic success at Epsom on her penultimate start, Huggable battled valiantly in defeat when second at Newmarket last time out. Raised a further 3lb in the handicap, Dylan Cunha's filly ought to remain competitive, but it is ITRAAQ who gets the vote. The daughter of Sea The Moon fetched 575,000gns as a yearling but has yet to make inroads into that hefty price tag. However, she's bred to be far better than her opening mark of 67 and, switched to handicaps with a hood now applied, she could progress. Oceans Charm is also noted.

This race looks tricky. A chance is taken that HOT TOPIC can improve under these conditions when her pedigree offers hope.

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.

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. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
