UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

Diomed Duke put in a professional display when scoring comfortably over an extended 5f at Bath and must be considered on his nursery debut. Preference, though, is for NAD ALSHIBA GREEN, who made a successful handicap bow when running out a comfortable winner at Bath on her penultimate start and, following another pleasing display when chasing home a subsequent winner over 6f at Lingfield, she gets the vote to defy a 6lb higher mark. Blinky will prove dangerous if allowed to dictate matters.
Prediction : 1st Nad Alshiba Green 2nd Diomed Duke 3rd Blinky

This step back down to 5f can see GLAMOROUS EXPRESS return to winning ways. Tony Carroll's charge made eyecatching headway into contention before fading into fourth over 6f at Brighton and, eased 1lb, he looks the one to side with. Four Adaay shaped like she is still in good form when fourth at Goodwood and may emerge as the main danger, although Secret Handsheikh had excuses when down the field at Bath and could bounce back off an unchanged mark.
Prediction : 1st Glamorous Express 2nd Four Adaay 3rd Secret Handsheikh

This looks a fascinating maiden and TYCOON gets a tentative vote. The son of Kingman, who fetched 500,000gns as a yearling, represents a stable operating at a 20 per cent strike-rate at Sandown this year and can make his racecourse bow a winning one. That said, dangers are aplenty and look to be headed by Lope De Vega colt Jonquil, who is from the family of Frankel and is surely capable of playing a part for the Stoute/Moore combination. Of those with experience, Time Turner is respected most.
Prediction : 1st Tycoon 2nd Jonquil 3rd Time Turner

Sea Regal drops to a mile having raced too keenly over 1m2f at Windsor and William Haggas' filly still has time to showcase her true potential. L'Ennemi makes his first appearance since Newmarket in May, and has been gelded and undergone a wind operation. Any market support would make him of considerable interest, but the consistent GOLDEN MYRRH gets the vote. Twice a winner in June, the daughter of Frankel has held her form well, despite being a beaten favourite on both starts since, and the addition of cheekpieces and a tongue-tie may yield further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Golden Myrrh 2nd Sea Regal 3rd LEnnemi

The switch to more positive tactics helped MIN HUNA to get off the mark at Windsor on her third attempt and the manner of that performance suggests she is capable of improving again on her handicap debut. Crown Of India is likely to benefit from dropping back from 1m4f having finished down the field in a valuable Glorious Goodwood handicap last time, while others to note include Global Esteem and Flatley.
Prediction : 1st Min Huna 2nd Crown Of India 3rd Global Esteem

Having won at both Nottingham and Newmarket this month, ADELABELLA makes plenty of appeal in her bid for a hat-trick of victories. The four-year-old went up 2lb for her most recent success and is expected to confirm placings with runner-up Ardbraccan, who is only 1lb better off. Mick Appleby's top-weight is still likely to be in the mix, while Unreal Connection and Tronido are others with viable credentials.
Prediction : 1st Adelabella 2nd Ardbraccan 3rd Unreal Connection
