Architect targets Sandown’s ITV races on Saturday with three selections, including an improving NAP expected to strike.
13:50 Sandown
13:50 SANDOWN – MINELLA TRUMP – 1pt WIN
Best odds of 9/1 available at time of publishing.
The one I really like in the veterans’ event is MINELLA TRUMP.
He bolted up on his sole previous C&D success back in 2021 and confirmed he still retains plenty of his ability when winning a hunters' contest at Carlisle last time out.
Furthermore, the 11-year-old has an excellent record when fresh, and he goes very well in small fields, so he’s the nomination.

15:05 Sandown
15:05 SANDOWN – GUSTAVIAN – 1pt WIN
Best odds of 4/1 available at time of publishing.
GUSTAVIAN put in an exhibition round of jumping when destroying his rivals in the Badger Beer last time out and a repeat showing should see him tough to beat.
The handicapper has reacted for that latest win by upping his mark by 9lb, but he’s a bonny horse and I expect him to run his heart out once more. He looks to have an excellent chance.
15:35 Sandown
15:35 SANDOWN – ALL IN YOU – 1pt WIN
Best odds of 10/3 available at time of publishing.
ALL IN YOU (NAP) improved significantly from his stable debut fifth at Newbury to be narrowly denied at Ascot last time out and is fancied to reverse the form with the reopposing winner.
He’s 4lb higher, but should have plenty of improvement to come, and his stable has been in fine form in the last month or so. Still unexposed over hurdles, he is fancied to strike.
