UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

GRANGE WALK lost little in defeat when a neck second in a similar Windsor handicap last time and he might be able to go one better under regular rider Paddy Bradley. Broad Appeal hasn't done a great deal wrong in four outings so far this year and he is likely to show up well again, while Lunar Deity and the returning Hope Is High are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Grange Walk 2nd Broad Appeal 3rd Lunar Deity

POETS DANCE made a pleasing debut at Nottingham when third behind two above-average opponents (both ran well in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot next time) and, with normal improvement expected, she rates the one to beat. Allez Sophia has shown enough in both previous starts to suggest that she can go close, while Reassure, Up To Speed and Hot Affair are all interesting newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Poets Dance 2nd Allez Sophia 3rd Reassure

It often pays to be prominent in sprint contests at this venue and an early lead could prove vital. The fast-starting DELAGATE THIS LORD was just touched off over 6f at Salisbury 11 days ago, but he lost little in defeat on that occasion and has been presented with another excellent opening now dropped to 5f from a low draw. Whataguy (first) accounted for A Sure Welcome (second) at Brighton last month and that form can be confirmed here.
Prediction : 1st Delagate This Lord 2nd Whataguy 3rd A Sure Welcome

QAYSAR didn't seem to enjoy his experience on the polytrack at Chelmsford last time and is better judged on his previous third at Beverley, where he ran well despite trouble in running. The four-year-old was deemed good enough to run in the Victoria Cup in May and is well treated off 89. Quick Breath is a consistent, gutsy type and enters calculations, while Moraawed is better than what he showed at York last month.
Prediction : 1st Qaysar 2nd Quick Breath 3rd Moraawed

MOTAWAJ won with plenty in hand on the all-weather at Kempton a fortnight ago and even an 8lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to stop the unexposed three-year-old from taking this contest as well. If the selection were to fail to transfer that form to turf then recent Ascot second Masked Identity could be the main beneficiary. That said, Dragons Tail must have a chance based on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Motawaj 2nd Masked Identity 3rd Dragons Tail

MACHINE LEARNER bounced back to form when finishing second over C&D earlier in the month and he can be expected to go one better off just a 2lb higher mark. Dono di Dio is a consistent performer who will be hard to keep out of the frame, while Emenem and Petrastar are also capable of running well.
Prediction : 1st Machine Learner 2nd Dono di Dio 3rd Emenem
