2.00 Dancing City 11/2 2.40 Be Aware 9/2 3.20 I think Coko Beach 16/1 has been laid out for this . Was very well fancied for this last year but it got abandoned because the ground was too heavy. It’s now a handicap and the horse is now rated a few Ibs lower. Also had Latenightpass 10/1 and Iwilldoit 20/1. 4.40 The King Of Prs 8/1

Calamity that champion hurdle was . Glad horses and jockeys ok .

Great race The Arkle . Only By Night denied at 25/1 ☹️

Holy See halved in price now

Nice comeback run too so hoping he’s good to go.

Put The Kettle on won the arkle off 144. Only By Night is 144 🤔

Can she actually go in The Mares being a novice ? Think she can’t .

Only By Night in the Arkle is niggling me. Why hasn’t she gone for the Mares Chase? Does Gavin Cromwell think she can win this ? Another Put The Kettle on possibly .

There’s several I like the look of in The National Hunt Chase but going to chase Gericault Roque who I’m pretty sweet on and Hasthing . Better now it’s a handicap I think .

These are two I’ve looked at 👍

My 3 for the Ultima are….. The Changing Man Katate Dori Richmond lake My big fancy in this is Katete Dori. Richmond Lake an ew play with Brian Hughes on board

This has been on going for couple of months now. He said Lossiemouth would beat CH. Now it’s Brighterdaysahead that will beat CH. Seems to think he’s on decline and doesn’t have a love in with Nico either. There has been a decline but wether anything is good enough to beat him yet I don’t know.

Very True 😂

It’s been advertised as G/S good in places hence why they probably didn’t fancy him. The actual going is closer to Soft ground which the horse enjoys . It’s criminal really .

Im on Afadil but my other fancy Knickerbockerglory might prefer the conditions more now .

Paul Nicholls not too happy about it . His horse very well backed prefers better ground but the going isn’t what it’s meant to be . Shocking really .

Why do they call it better ground than it is ? Sandown is notoriously soft ground a lot of the time.

After all this talk of good ground at Sandown I see they have eased the going . Tune from the first race indicates soft ground too. The going stick says it’s soft .

One that has caught my eye but has got a lot of trends going against him is Workahead .Only a maiden winner but that race has some decent form lines . Not sure how many maiden winners have gone on to win a supreme in their next race .

Hereford 2.05 Hypertenus 15/8 Sandown 2.25 Afadil 15/2 Sandown 3.35 Goshen 9/2 Sandown 4.45 Triple Trade 13/2
