Sandown 1.15

I know HENRI THE SECOND has to get back on track but he could be good value to take this. His jumping just didn’t hold up over fences here on sole start last season and then he looked in need of the run when fourth here on return last month. He lacked fluency back over hurdles and got outpaced before running on. He has been dropped 2lb and stretching out in trip could get back on track.

Dubrovnik Harry ran a pleasing race when third to Saint Davy here on final start and retains potential so looks the danger. Operation Manna was behind the latter here on penultimate start but is another one to note as well.

Main danger Dubrovnik Harry


Sandown 1.50

This is no easy task but L’EAU DU SUD has been so impressive since going over fences and if he gets into a nice rhythm he will be hard to beat. He is such a strong travelling horse so this test should suit and I think he’ll just keep pilling on the pressure on the others. The Skelton’s have made no secret how highly they regard him so they will be hopeful of him completing the hat-trick.

Down Memory Lane made a winning chase debut at Navan last month despite taking a walk in the market. He is clearly a nice horse but this will test his jumping. He has more to come but could run a big race without being good enough. Touch Me Not isn’t out of it either but they won’t hang about here and he’ll need to step forward again.

Sandown 2.25

With the weather not relenting I’m going to chance SPIRIT D’AUNOU at a price here. He won this race last year and handles very deep ground better than most. He took a tumble on return but if nonetheworse from that should have a great chance in this. The Gary Moore pair are likely to run well as Royal Way should appreciate the ground too.

Knickerbockerglory goes particularly well fresh and still looks the danger. He was pulled up on final outing at Plumpton but that win over Altobelli at Ascot last season was impressive enough and he should give his running. The latter also has a chance as he could have more to come this term but he has been a bit expensive to follow so far.

Spirit D’aunou 9/1 each way

Main danger Knickerbockerglory

 


Sandown 3.00

It was very much job done for JONBON at Cheltenham last month where he had Boothill and Edwardstone held in behind. He seemed to need the run there and will come on plenty. He was impressive beating Edwardstone in this last year and I think that is how it will play out again. He is top-rated and I don’t see an upset happening.

Quilixios lowered the colours of Marine Nationale on return at Naas last month but I don’t think the latter finished his race off with any conviction so I wouldn’t read too much into that. In a match bet I’d probably say Edwardstone would be decent value in a match bet against the Irish raider. Jpr One also deserves a mention after winning the Haldon Gold Cup but this is a big step up from that.

Sandown 3.00

Jonbon 4/7

Main danger Edwardstone

 


Sandown 3.35

I know BROKEN HALO doesn’t always look the most straightforward but he is still lightly raced for his age and he is definitely interesting here back from a break following a wind op. He has been dropped a couple of pounds too after pulling up at Ayr on final outing. He was in winning form before that and if bouncing back could get seriously competitive.

Montgomery shouldn’t be judged too harshly on that final run at Ayr as he had won his first 3 starts over fences before that. He could bounce back with the yard going well and be the danger. Mr Vango is likely to go off favourite but no juice in his price and I think he could be opposable anyway. Ballygrifincottage is also respected if putting in a clear round.

Sandown 3.35

Broken Halo 9/1 each way

Main danger Montgomery
