UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

COVER POINT failed to make an impact in Listed company at York last month, but William Haggas' colt sets the standard down in class and is fancied to strike at the fourth time of asking. South Shore finished second to a promising sort on his debut and ought to go close with improvement on the cards. Nazron and Ziggy's Missile can battle it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Cover Point 2nd South Shore 3rd Nazron

Recon Mission continues to run well in defeat and must firmly enter the reckoning now 2lb below his last winning mark, though preference is for DEVIL'S ANGEL. The son of Dark Angel bounced back when finishing second to a well-handicapped rival at Redcar, who has subsequently hit the woodwork from 5lb higher. Jedd O'Keefe's charge is similarly well treated and he can go one better today. Others to note include Four Adaay and Imperiousity.
Prediction : 1st Devils Angel 2nd Recon Mission 3rd Four Adaay

Ollie Sangster has enjoyed a fruitful start to his training career, so Awtaad filly Pure Of Heart merits respect with that in mind, but the vote goes to STRUTTING. The 425,000gns purchase, a daughter of Frankel, can provide the Gosdens' with another juvenile winner, having struck at Leicester on Tuesday. Ralph Beckett can do little wrong at present, though Frankelian (fifth) will need to progress if she is to reverse the form of her debut run with Our Golden One (third).
Prediction : 1st Strutting 2nd Pure Of Heart 3rd Our Golden One

DARK ENCOUNTER appeared to have plenty in hand when getting off the mark at Newcastle a week ago and a 6lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him here. Metallo has been highly tried since winning a novice event at Salisbury in June and he has to be respected with his sights now lowered, while I'm Puzzled edges out Shadan Joy to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Dark Encounter 2nd Metallo 3rd Im Puzzled

Silver Samurai bounced back to form at Newmarket last time but faces a much stiffer task off 5lb higher and up in grade here. With that in mind, preference is for AZANO, who put in a promising display when making the frame on his most recent start and a further 1lb drop in the ratings could see him return to winning ways. Atrium and Documenting are both capable of going well if reproducing their best form, while Under The Twilight should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Azano 2nd Silver Samurai 3rd Atrium

SWISS STAR returned to winning ways at Newmarket on her latest start and the manner of that victory suggested the extra furlong on this occasion would bring about further improvement. Coco Jamboo (second) and Peony (fourth) both performed with credit in a valuable York handicap last month and the pair enter calculations, while Hot Chesnut appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Swiss Star 2nd Coco Jamboo 3rd Peony

STRONG IMPACT built on her sole juvenile effort with a brace of runner-up efforts at Newmarket in the spring. The latter occasion came over 1m4f where she was run down by the winner late on, so the drop back in trip is likely to suit the daughter of Saxon Warrior. Born Ruler may have needed her latest run at Chelmsford when returning from a small break and she is capable of further progression. Others to note are Borgi and Gallimimus.
Prediction : 1st Strong Impact 2nd Born Ruler 3rd Borgi
