Most Backed: Meetmebythesea (13:50 Sandown)
Meetmebythesea has emerged as the most backed horse today, receiving 17% of the total bets placed in the 13:50 at Sandown.
Meetmebythesea can be backed at a best price of 7/2 with Unibet HERE.
Trained by Ben Pauling, this promising five-year-old is unbeaten in three starts under rules and makes his handicap debut off a mark of 128. His latest victory, by a narrow neck over Mythical Moon at Doncaster, suggests there is more improvement to come.
The form of his previous win over The Kemble Brewery has added credibility to his profile, and with a talented 5lb claimer on board, Meetmebythesea is expected to put in another strong performance.
Second Most Backed: Afadil (14:25 Sandown)
Paul Nicholls’ Afadil is another horse generating significant interest, securing 15% of today’s bets in the 14:25 Sandown.
You can back Afadil at a best price of 6/1 with Paddy Power HERE.
The six-year-old is a proven competitor in tough handicaps, with his latest second-place finish in the Scottish County Hurdle demonstrating his ability.
A previous winner at Musselburgh over 1m7f, Afadil now finds himself on an appealing handicap mark, with jockey Freddie Gingell’s 3lb claim further enhancing his prospects.
In a fiercely competitive Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle, Afadil’s experience and favorable weight conditions could make the difference.
Third Most Backed: Melon (13:15 Sandown)
Melon has drawn considerable attention from bettors, amassing 46% of the bets in the 13:15 at Sandown.
You can back Melon at a best price of 5/2 with various bookmakers HERE.
Trained by Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, this progressive juvenile has won two of his three starts over hurdles, including a game victory over Narragansett at Wetherby.
The uphill finish at Sandown is expected to suit him, and with an opening handicap mark of 122, there’s every reason to believe he can take another step forward.
Given the weight he carries, his ability to see out the race strongly will be key, but the market confidence suggests he is primed for a big run.
