UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

Waiting All Night narrowly accounted for Star Of Orion (second) when scoring at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago and both have to be respected here on the back of those efforts. That said, preference is for FEEL THE NEED, who was far from disgraced when chasing home a very well-handicapped rival when last seen at York in June. Off just a 2lb higher mark, the four-year-old has to be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Feel The Need 2nd Waiting All Night 3rd Star Of Orion

TAMFANA did not appear to fully see out the trip when fourth in the Grand Prix de Paris last month, but that was still a top effort in Group 1 company. She was previously a close third in the Prix de Diane and an arguably unlucky loser in the 1000 Guineas. A reproduction of any of those efforts would give David Menuisier's filly a big chance here. Doha is another who may benefit from a drop in trip and grade following an encouraging effort in the Nassau at Goodwood. Spiritual should not be discounted based on her C&D win in July, while Bright Thunder and Rolica are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Tamfana 2nd Doha 3rd Spiritual

Balmacara has to be of interest having pulled 13 lengths clear of the third when filling second place over C&D on her latest outing in July. A 6lb rise for that effort is fair and another good run can be expected. That said, a chance can be taken with SEAN, who caught the eye when third over this trip at Windsor last time and that followed an encouraging second at Ascot. Involvement should benefit from this return to handicap company, while Wonder Legend must not be written off on just his second start this season.
Prediction : 1st Sean 2nd Balmacara 3rd Involvement

The form of MATAURI BAY's debut victory over 7f at Leicester was given a timely boost when the runner-up finished an excellent second in a hot maiden at York last week and, having already shown his aptitude for a stiff finish on a testing track, this son of Lope De Vega might have too much in his locker for these rivals. Field Of Gold looks the main danger to the selection on the back of an impressive victory over 7f at Newmarket last month, while Salisbury debut winner Royal Playwright is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Matauri Bay 2nd Field Of Gold 3rd Royal Playwright

ROCKIN' THE BOAT fared best of those ridden off the pace when finishing an excellent third over 7f at Newmarket on her debut earlier this month and, with the likelihood of improvement to come, she edges preference. Flight was last seen finishing runner-up behind a smart sort over that same track and trip recently and she should be thereabouts with a repeat of that effort. Of the newcomers, Bayenah appeals most.
Prediction : 1st Rockin The Boat 2nd Flight 3rd Bayenah

Love Is The Law defied her penalty with a convincing success in a novice stakes at Lingfield earlier in the month and she should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick on her nursery debut. However, IMPERIAL TROOPER looks the way to go. Ed Walker's gelding got off the mark in heavy conditions at Ffos Las on his latest outing and has improved with his each of his three starts to date. With William Buick booked on his nursery bow, he gets the nod. Jet Packer and Pappa Louis are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Trooper 2nd Love Is The Law 3rd Jet Packer

INGRA TOR finished midfield in a deeper contest than this at Newcastle earlier in the month and has been dropped 1lb for that performance. Jack Channon's five-year-old now competes off his last winning mark on his return to turf and that could see him back on the scoresheet. Spring Bloom justified favouritism to complete a Newmarket double over 6f last time and holds an obvious chance off a 3lb higher mark, while Miss Show Off warrants a market check on her seasonal/handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Ingra Tor 2nd Spring Bloom 3rd Miss Show Off
