SANDOWN PLACEPOT – 2x2x1x2x2x2=32 lines
LEG 1: TIBER FLOW ran the race of his life when scoring at Newcastle last week and can back it up on turf. He had to come from a mile back to win the Chipchase but it was cosy in the end. He can strike again under Tom Marquand despite the drop in distance.
RAASEL won this 12 months ago and can be forgiven one poor run in the King’s Stand last time. His liking for the track is an asset.
LEG 2: SCEPTIC improved when winning at Goodwood last time. That was just his second handicap run so there should be more to come. He has gone up 6lb but can improve past that over this ideal distance.
OUZO ran a cracker when sixth in the Royal Hunt Cup and is best over this trip. This track suits and he’s one for the shortlist.
LEG 3: STENTON GLIDER is maturing with every run and went close in the German 1,000 Guineas last month after finding the Newmarket version a bit much. This trip is ideal and she has a lot more to offer on this drop in class.
LEG 4: PADDINGTON can make the most of his weight allowance in a slightly disappointing renewal of the Coral-Eclipse. The Aidan O’Brien star has not tasted defeat since his debut and made it five wins on the spin with plenty in hand at Royal Ascot, putting Chaldean in his place.
EMILY UPJOHN doesn’t have banned Frankie in the saddle today but William Buick isn’t a bad sub. She has decent form over this trip.
LEG 5: MAJESTIC went close at Epsom last time and is right at home over this distance. He looks on a fair handicap mark.
LORD PROTECTOR likes this track and went close again here last time. He will be right in the mix again.
LEG 6: CLASSIC held his own in similar company to this over course and distance last time. He will be right there again.
MERLIN THE WIZARD has won his past two runs and had plenty in hand at Ffos Las. There should be more to come.
