UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

In a race full of unknown quantities, it could pay to side with the twice-raced RAJETERIAT. The form of his recent third over 5f at Beverley is working out well and the son of Mehmas can open his account here. Art Market is surely capable of better than he showed on his debut and a big step forward from William Haggas' charge should not be ruled out. Backspin and Siegen also enter calculations in what should be an informative contest.
Prediction : 1st Rajeteriat 2nd Art Market 3rd Backspin

MARY OF MODENA teed herself up for a tilt at this when finishing an excellent second over 5f at Windsor on her reappearance in April and, nudged up 2lb, she gets the vote to go one place better. Recent Doncaster runner-up Brave Nation was doing his best work in the closing stages on that occasion and he should be running on when others have cried enough, while Acklam Express' mark continues to fall and he commands respect too.
Prediction : 1st Mary Of Modena 2nd Brave Nation 3rd Acklam Express

On paper, there is lots to like about 1,000,000gns breeze-up purchase ROYAL OFFICER and this son of Galileo can get off the mark at the first time of asking for the in-form Charlie Appleby stable. Wathnan Racing have shown their appetite for first-time-out winners in recent weeks and a bold bid from their son of Too Darn Hot, Consolidation, would come as no surprise. Attack and Aegean Sea are a couple of others worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Royal Officer 2nd Consolidation 3rd Attack

Being drawn widest of all might not be ideal for CRYSTAL MARINER but he can still be given a chance. Third in behind an improver on his reappearance at Chester last month, Sir Michael Stoute's charge is open to further progress himself and appears to hold strong claims off an unchanged mark. Another unexposed type Prince Maxi was a promising fourth at Newbury off this mark in April and could have a say, while dual C&D winner Sweet Reward is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Mariner 2nd Prince Maxi 3rd Sweet Reward

An opening mark of 82 doesn't look beyond GAMES PEOPLE PLAY based on what she achieved across her three qualifying runs, and Ralph Beckett's filly receives a tentative vote in what looks a fairly open heat. Crimson Road, who struck off a 7lb lower mark at Lingfield last time out, holds obvious claims once again, along with Devoirs Choice, who appeared to relish a step up to 10 furlongs when occupying the runner-up spot at Haydock recently.
Prediction : 1st Games People Play 2nd Crimson Road 3rd Devoirs Choice

DIVINE BREATH made a mockery of her mark when stepping back up to this trip at Chelmsford last time, and a 6lb penalty still leaves her very well treated in what is admittedly a much more competitive race. She looks the one to side with, but State Flag could have plenty more to come after getting off the mark at Lingfield last month and an opening mark of 75 doesn't look beyond Tom Ward's filly. Lunar Streets wasn't beaten that far on her reappearance last time and she should do better with that run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Divine Breath 2nd State Flag 3rd Lunar Streets

Cock And Bull ran another cracker when narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time, but a 5lb rise for that does temper enthusiasm slightly and it might be worth chancing ALLONSY to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking. Ralph Beckett's filly has run well in defeat on a few occasions and she looks ready for this step up in trip. Night Horn has struggled to land a blow on his four starts to date, but Andrew Balding's colt is bred to do better and he's another who could step forward for this stiffer test of stamina.
Prediction : 1st Allonsy 2nd Cock And Bull 3rd Night Horn
