Sandown 6.42
By UK Flat / AW (Northern)
NORTHERN - Sandown 6.42 - Handicap - Class 3 - 1 mile 6 furlongs - 14 run - Good (see above)
This is extremely competitive and probably the best race on the Card
There are so many with chances including Duke Of Verona, Single, Liverpool Knight, and the favourite Evaluation.
HAPPY though strikes me as a classic Johnston horse, will run prominently and try to make all and in this field could benefit from having first run up the tough climb to the finish. STAR CALIBER is interesting on some 2021 form, possibly needed the 2 runs so far, will welcome any cut in the ground and I can see it being bang in contention.
I also think that SIR RUMI for Richard Hannon will benefit from a step back in trip and is over-priced as a result and DANCING HARRY too for the in form Roger Teal who has a good Course and Distance record and ticks all the other boxes could outrun generous Odds to an enhanced place. With the satchel boosted after York, I'll wager a small £1 each way on those pair.
SHRAPNEL - Happy + Star Caliber (small £1 e/w on Dancing Harry + Sir Rumi)
