UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

DIVINER was narrowly beaten off this mark over this trip at Musselburgh eight days ago and wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to gain compensation. The main danger may be Image Of The Moon, a consistent performer who is fitted with first-time cheekpieces after going down narrowly at Newbury last month. C&D winner Flying Dragon has place claims and is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Diviner 2nd Image Of The Moon 3rd Flying Dragon

EXECLUSIVE struck on her handicap debut at Bath earlier in the month and a 6lb rise is expected to prove workable for Archie Watson's filly now she's back in the groove. Return To Senders has finished a close-up second on his last two runs over 6f and wouldn't be winning out of turn if going one better over this shorter trip. The pick of the remainder may be Charlemaine, a maiden winner at Brighton in April, if first-time blinkers can spark a form revival.
Prediction : 1st Execlusive 2nd Return To Senders 3rd Charlemaine

RIOT has rattled the crossbar on both outings so far and those handy performances over track and trip should stand John Gosden's 850,000 euros Kingman colt in good stead as he looks to make it third time lucky. Wild Thunder won well on debut and could find this easier than the Newmarket Group 2 he took part in last time, while Dubai Souq was an encouraging fourth at Salisbury earlier this month and may have more to come.
Prediction : 1st Riot 2nd Wild Thunder 3rd Dubai Souq

MURAAD almost made a winning start to his life in handicaps when only beaten a head at Ascot earlier this month and could gain some compensation off just a 3lb higher mark. Pesto was sixth in that contest and was a winner here before that, while Simon Crisford's Maamora is noted in what should be an easier assignment than the Sandringham handicap she was last seen in. Smile A Mile has been putting in some fantastic performances over a mile of late and is likely to be thereabouts, while Solid Stone is only slightly higher in the ratings than when successful at Newmarket in April and could enjoy the drop back in trip.
Prediction : 1st Muraad 2nd Smile A Mile 3rd Solid Stone

NEW JAZZ finally got her head in front at Yarmouth at the sixth attempt when switched back to maiden company earlier this month and that could provide the confidence boost needed for John Gosden's filly. Norma drops in distance to make her handicap debut and bids to return to form after a disappointing effort at Goodwood, while Nooshin is respected on her recent performances.
Prediction : 1st New Jazz 2nd Norma 3rd Nooshin

MONDAIN was an easy winner on his first outing over 2m at Thirsk last Friday and, providing those exertions haven't left a mark, Mark Johnston's stayer appears likely to continue his progression. Buckman Tavern might well have been unlucky over C&D last Friday when hampered close home and he remains open to further progression, while Wannie Mae won on handicap debut at Goodwood and is likely to be suited by the extra couple of furlongs.
Prediction : 1st Mondain 2nd Buckman Tavern 3rd Wannie Mae
