UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

A competitive-looking event, in which MR ZEE shades the verdict off bottom weight. It's a big plus that he won under tonight's jockey at Leicester last time and a 4lb rise for that effort is fair. Silastar won going away over 1m at Kempton latest and he should give Anna Gibson a good spin, while Pledge Of Honour arrives in fine form and is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Mr Zee 2nd Silastar 3rd Pledge Of Honour

ANNIE MAHER was sent off favourite for her debut at Ascot in May and shaped with tons of promise that day. She may improve for subsequent wind surgery and rates the one to beat. Mrs U S A has finished runner-up (behind Lady Hollywood) in both starts thus far and is likely to be on the premises again, while Soaring Eagle makes most appeal of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Annie Maher 2nd Mrs U S A 3rd Soaring Eagle

This represents a fantastic opportunity for AUTUMN FESTIVAL to regain the winning thread. He cuts back slightly in distance having been headed in the final strides over an extended 7f at Beverley last time and the red-hot William Buick now takes over the reins. Reversion brings winning course form to the table and merits consideration equipped with first-time cheekpieces, while Albus Anne is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Festival 2nd Reversion 3rd Albus Anne

ROGUE ROCKET got off the mark in fine style on handicap debut at Salisbury and can take a 7lb rise in his stride and win again here for Tom Clover. Colour Image battled bravely to win at Bath last month and could be on the premises once more despite a 3lb rise. Notions wasn't beaten far when last of four at Yarmouth last month and is one to keep an eye on dropped 1lb.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Rocket 2nd Colour Image 3rd Notions

Dal Mallart was very impressive when an easy winner at Haydock earlier this month but looks vulnerable here off 9lb higher on ground that might be quick enough for Alan King's filly. Preference is for COSMIC DESERT, who has become expensive to follow but should appreciate stepping back up to 1m2f here and if settling early with William Buick back in the plate, he could take some stopping. Frantanck looked ready for this step up in trip last time and is another to consider in an open race.
Prediction : 1st Cosmic Desert 2nd Dal Mallart 3rd Frantanck

HAPPY rarely runs a bad race and has been found an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways here by Charlie and Mark Johnston. He wasn't beaten far over C&D last month and, will be tough to beat in what looks a weaker race off 1lb lower. Sovereign Duke looks most interesting of the rest after appearing to need the run when sixth at Salisbury on his first start back after seven months off, while Cherry Cola looks like she'll appreciate this test after disappointing over shorter at Nottingham earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Happy 2nd Sovereign Duke 3rd Cherry Cola
