UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

Beau Balko remains unexposed and is rated 2lb lower following a disappointing handicap bow at Taunton in December, but it could be worth taking a chance on MAYHEM MYA, who drops in both distance and class following her latest fourth at Fakenham over 2m4f. Gingerbred was a game winner over an extended 2m2f at Exeter earlier this month and is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Mayhem Mya 2nd Beau Balko 3rd Gingerbred

BUN DORAN was denied by the narrowest of margins at Ludlow on his penultimate outing and can be forgiven for a disappointing spin on heavy ground at Warwick last time out. He has dropped back to the mark from the former outing and could give a good account now eased in class. Corrigeen Rock has had wind surgery since finishing runner-up over C&D last month and is feared most, while Real Stone completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bun Doran 2nd Corrigeen Rock 3rd Real Stone

YOU WEAR IT WELL lost little in defeat when chasing home Hermes Allen in the Challow at Newbury in December and she commands the utmost respect back against her own sex. Irish raider Deeply Superficial remains unexposed and sports a first-time tongue-tie following a wind operation after finishing fourth in a Grade 2 at Naas, a contest which has worked out to be a solid piece of form. She's A Saint has twice filled the runner-up spot in Listed company and gained a confidence-boosting success at Ffos Las last month.
Prediction : 1st You Wear It Well 2nd Deeply Superficial 3rd Shes A Saint

This hasn't been a vintage season by Philip Hobbs' standards but the Somerset-based trainer has turned the corner lately and can strike again with ROLLING DYLAN, who won this corresponding race last year. The stable's runners were under a cloud when the veteran was pulled up here in early December, but with more encouraging returns lately, the 12-year-old has to be of interest in first-time blinkers with Major Charlie O'Shea back in the saddle. Texard and Broken Halo look the pick of the opposition.
Prediction : 1st Rolling Dylan 2nd Texard 3rd Broken Halo

Givega looked progressive before posting a disappointing effort in the Leamington at Warwick last month, but the seven-year-old could bounce back now dropped in class. However, it can pay to side with the unexposed IMMORTAL, whose debut outing was a promising effort over C&D in early December and he could be a very different proposition given that Nicky Henderson's grey subsequently had a wind operation. Mamoon Star is another that has shown ability over timber and is also taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Immortal 2nd Givega 3rd Mamoon Star

Poppa Poutine has proven to be a very consistent type and he looks to hold strong claims after being dropped 1lb from his latest outing at Cheltenham. This looks an easier assignment and he could prove hard to pass. However, the vote goes to STUMPTOWN, as this six-year-old comes over from Ireland after winning impressively at Thurles last time and is taken to defy his mark of 125 under Jonathan Burke. I See You Well is only 2lb higher than winning over C&D on his penultimate start and is not ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Stumptown 2nd Poppa Poutine 3rd I See You Well

This looks a tricky race to solve with chances for many, but a chance can be taken on AMRONS SAGE, who was an eye-catcher when a staying-on second behind a nice type who went on to finish second in a Grade 2 event next time. His mark of 115 could prove lenient and the step up in trip is possible to bring out more improvement. Twin Power was a decent winner over C&D last time and has been raised 6lb for that success. Equinus, Missed Tee and Egbert are also in contention.
Prediction : 1st Amrons Sage 2nd Twin Power 3rd Equinus
