UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

LEODIS DREAM looked to be progressing at a rate of knots prior to slowly leaving the gates, and losing all chance, at York last time. Hopefully that was just a one-off and this speedy son of Dandy Man is given another chance returning to a track where he won in the not-too-distant past. Street Parade readily won a Windsor handicap on his seasonal reappearance and, although he struggled to be competitive in Pattern company last term, it could be a different story this time around. Pocket Dynamo and Well Done Fox both drop down from Group level and add further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Leodis Dream 2nd Street Parade 3rd Pocket Dynamo

FANTASY KEEPER is quickly turned out off the same mark as when a neck second over 6f at Goodwood last Sunday and providing those exertions haven't taken their toll, he will prove difficult to beat. Wiley Post has generously been lowered 1lb following his third-placed effort over 6f at Windsor last month and he warrants plenty of respect with that first outing since October under his belt, while King Robert is certainly no forlorn hope dropped in class on his turf return.
Prediction : 1st Fantasy Keeper 2nd Wiley Post 3rd King Robert

GREENSIDE appears to tick plenty of the right boxes and shades the verdict in what looks a wide-open handicap. Henry Candy's consistent gelding has been in fine form so far this season, he brings winning C&D form to the table and acts on soft ground. Baltic Baron and Masham Star (behind the selection at Windsor early last month) were only split by half a length when second and third respectively in a Nottingham handicap 10 days ago and they are likely to be closely matched again, while Sawwaah, equipped with first-time cheekpieces, Thrave and Hateya are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Greenside 2nd Baltic Baron 3rd Masham Star

WISE COUNSEL shaped as though he would improve from his first outing of the season at Haydock on testing ground last Saturday and Clive Cox's colt remains with a fair amount of potential. The son of Invincible Spirit gets the vote over Make A Wish, who won in good style at Redcar on her return to action and has to warrant respect on her handicap debut, and Artistic Rifles, who showed a terrific attitude when making it three wins out of his last four starts at Doncaster.
Prediction : 1st Wise Counsel 2nd Make A Wish 3rd Artistic Rifles

CRISTAL BREEZE has looked a nice prospect, winning two of his three novice appearances, and could land a hat-trick switching to the handicap ranks off a feasible opening mark with top apprentice Cieren Fallon in the plate to remove 7lb. Multamis got on the scoresheet at Epsom in April and is respected off a 5lb higher mark, while Mubariz is another switching to handicaps to consider on his reappearance having opened his account on his final start of 2018.
Prediction : 1st Cristal Breeze 2nd Multamis 3rd Mubariz

Nette Rousse showed improvement when third here last time and the mount of Silvestre De Sousa is respected, while John Gosden's Damon Runyon brings plenty of useful experience to the table. However, a chance is taken on TWO BIDS making a winning debut and the 375,000gns Book One purchase, who is a brother to Group 1 winner Integral, could thrive over this trip representing in-form handler William Haggas.
Prediction : 1st Two Bids 2nd Nette Rousse 3rd Damon Runyon

Just Wait is a typically tough Mark Johnston representative and the Doncaster winner is considered tackling a trip he has placed over in the past, with Silvestre De Sousa taking over in the saddle. However, preference is for OI THE CLUBB OI'S, who is closely matched with Elysees from when they met over in a Grade 2 hurdles contest in December. He was a battling winner over this distance at Nottingham earlier this month and could have more to come off a 4lb higher mark. Elysees can be expected to be better than he showed at Goodwood and has the assistance of cheekpieces this time, while C'Est No Mour has gone close on both outings this term and is respected stepping up in trip as he still looks well treated. Point In Time has been in good order on the all-weather and can't be ruled out, while similar applies to Alexandra Dunn's Argus.
Prediction : 1st Oi The Clubb Ois 2nd CEst No Mour 3rd Just Wait
