UK Horse Racing Tips: Sandown

A 7f winner on the Flat, HOT FUSS made a promising debut over hurdles when second to East India Dock at Wincanton. The latter has subsequently returned an impressive winner of a Grade 2 contest at Cheltenham, so Tom Dascombe's charge looks the one to side with on the strength of that form. City Of London finished a creditable runner-up at Chepstow considering that was his racecourse bow and he can feature again. Small Fry is a likely improver and is preferred to the penalised See The Green.
Prediction : 1st Hot Fuss 2nd City Of London 3rd Small Fry

MOUNT TEMPEST won last year's renewal and looks to have strong claims of repeating that success. A recent pipe-opener at Bangor will have brought him on and Dan Skelton's inmate can resume winning ways off his current mark. Calgary Tiger made a bold bid from the front when third at Aintree and could be thereabouts at the finish once again. Mint Gold is perfectly at home in this grade and can also get involved if building on his third at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Mount Tempest 2nd Calgary Tiger 3rd Mint Gold

A bumper winner at Exeter, KINGSTON PRIDE landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Uttoxeter on his hurdles bow. He looks another potentially smart prospect for the Nicky Henderson team and can take this step up in class in his stride. Dual bumper winner Bill Joyce shaped well when scoring at Carlisle on his first start over timber and may emerge as the main threat, although Admiral Stewart left a good impression when successful at Ffos Las and should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Kingston Pride 2nd Bill Joyce 3rd Admiral Stewart

In an open event, marginal preference is for RESPLENDENT GREY, who chased home a useful rival when finishing second in a Listed novice chase at Cheltenham last month. Cadell only had to beat two rivals at Wetherby, but he did it in impressive fashion and Lucinda Russell's six-year-old should not be underestimated. Handstands has some questions to answer right now, so Welcom To Cartries is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Resplendent Grey 2nd Cadell 3rd Welcom To Cartries

JUPITER DU GITE bounced back to form when a close second over an extended 2m3f at Fontwell on his seasonal return and this step up in trip could help him to go one better. Beachcomber (second) and Tea Clipper (third) are closely matched based on their meeting at Exeter last month and they have to be of interest once again. Jupiter Allen edges out Hoe Joly Smoke to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Jupiter Du Gite 2nd Beachcomber 3rd Tea Clipper

I WISH YOU put a string of seconds behind him when scoring over 2m1f at Carlisle in October and the second from that event has subsequently won impressively. With that in mind, a mark of 117 may underestimate the four-year-old and he gets the vote ahead of Fasol, who caught the eye when fourth at Cheltenham last month and remains potentially well treated. Others to consider are Cavern Club and Authentic Legacy.
Prediction : 1st I Wish You 2nd Fasol 3rd Cavern Club
