Sandown 12:30
Visit Sri Lanka Nursery Handicap
Winner £6,019, 2nd £2,824, 3rd £1,411, 4th £706, 5th £352
2yo, 6 Runners
Flat,Turf , 5f 10y , GOOD (GoingStick: Round 6.7; Sprint 6.6) (Rail movements: 3.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.35 +14yds) (Watered)
Soul Seeker (4/1) – bet365
Has yet to score this season, though he has shown enough to be competitive off his current mark. The drying ground here will be in his favor, and if he finds his best form, he could be in the mix.
Secret Handsheikh (11/2) – Unibet
Bagged two wins at Brighton recently and arrives here in good heart. However, he might struggle to reverse last month’s course and distance form with Harb, who finished ahead of him on that occasion.
Safari Dream (4/1) – Betvictor
A dual course and distance winner as a 2-year-old but has not managed to find the winner’s circle since 2022. Now dropping down in the weights, and with Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, he could bounce back to form.
Jax Edge (14/1) – bet365
Scored over 6 furlongs at Ffos Las in June and has put up some fair efforts since then. However, her latest run was below expectations, so she needs to step up to get involved in this contest.
Harb (7/2) – Unibet
Comes into this race on the back of a strong course-and-distance win last month, a performance that has since been franked by the form of those behind. He was the winner of this race last year and looks well-placed to defend his title.
Media Guest (8/1) – Betvictor
A tricky horse to win with, although he did run well when finishing second at Yarmouth on his latest outing. Needs everything to fall right to score, but he remains a lively outsider in this lineup.
Verdict
Harb stands out as the top pick, with his recent course-and-distance victory looking very solid. He’s in great shape to repeat last year’s success in this very race. Safari Dream could be his biggest threat, given his previous track record and the return of Oisin Murphy. Soul Seeker also has a decent chance if the ground continues to dry out.

Sandown 13:05
Amazing Sri Lanka Handicap (A Jockey Club Grassroots Series Sprint Qualifier)
Winner £4,449, 2nd £2,088, 3rd £1,043, 4th £522, 5th £260
3yo+, 11 Runners
Flat,Turf , 5f 10y , GOOD (GoingStick: Round 6.7; Sprint 6.6) (Rail movements: 3.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.35 +14yds) (Watered)
Almeric (10/1) – Betvictor
A well-bred colt from a successful yard, being the half-brother to nine winners. Though still unraced, he comes from a stable that often has its juveniles well-prepared for their debut, making him an intriguing prospect.
Caspian King (16/1) – Unibet
Showed some promise with late headway on his debut over 7 furlongs here but failed to follow up with a similar effort at Goodwood. Improvement is needed if he’s to feature among the leaders today.
Hippocratic Oath (50/1) – bet365
Modest showings so far in both starts at Newmarket and Kempton, where he didn’t show enough to trouble the finishers. Bred for speed, but needs to find considerable improvement to make an impact in this field.
Love You Back (40/1) – Unibet
A 95,000-euros foal by Galiway, this late foal is stepping onto the track for the first time. The stable has yet to secure a 2-year-old win this season, which might suggest a cautious approach for now.
Paragon (25/1) – bet365
Looked green and inexperienced when finishing towards the rear on debut over 7 furlongs here seven weeks ago. Expected to come on from that run but will need to show marked improvement to get involved.
Prince Of The Seas (7/4) – Betvictor
Ran a solid race when finishing second at Kempton over a mile on his first outing three weeks ago. Stuck to his task well that day and could be primed to go one better today with the benefit of that experience.
Scarlet Moon (50/1) – Unibet
Nicely related but did not show much on her debut at Newbury when sent off at long odds. Needs to take a big step forward to make her presence felt in this race.
St Mawes (50/1) – bet365
A 30,000-guinea yearling by Wootton Bassett, representing a yard more known for its jumpers than its flat runners. Likely to benefit from this run but could be up against it in a contest of this nature.
Stormy Monday (28/1) – Betvictor
Finished 4 lengths behind Wild Nature over this course and distance on debut. Didn’t build on that effort at Goodwood, so will need to step up considerably to challenge here.
Sword Of Wessex (10/1) – Unibet
A pricey 350,000-guinea yearling who showed some promise when staying on to finish sixth on his debut at Newbury over a mile. Improvement is likely, and he could be one to watch in this lineup.
Wild Nature (5/4) – bet365
Went off as the favorite for his debut over this course and distance six weeks ago, finishing a good second despite showing some signs of inexperience. With that run under his belt, he looks like the one to beat today.
Verdict
Prince Of The Seas and Wild Nature seem to have this race between them after both put in strong runner-up performances on their debuts. Slight preference is for Wild Nature, who shaped well over this course and distance and is expected to improve. Sword Of Wessex could also make his presence felt if stepping forward from his debut.

Sandown 13:40
Sri Lanka, Jewel Of Asia British EBF Maiden Stakes (Colts & Geldings)
Winner £5,400, 2nd £2,535, 3rd £1,268, 4th £634
2yo, 10 Runners
Flat,Turf , 7f , GOOD (GoingStick: Round 6.7; Sprint 6.6) (Rail movements: 3.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.35 +14yds) (Watered)
Cosmic Year (7/2) – Unibet
A colt by Kingman, and a full brother to Tempus, a Group 3 winner over a mile. Comes from a strong stable and has the breeding to make a splash on his debut. Worth keeping an eye on, as he could be quite smart.
Desert Heart (16/1) – bet365
A 70,000-guinea yearling by Oasis Dream, he is a brother to Tasfeeq, a winner over a mile. Makes his first racecourse appearance today, and while the yard is known for patience with its juveniles, he might need this run to gain experience.
Duke Orsino (33/1) – Betvictor
Made his debut at Newbury last month, where he failed to make an impact, finishing well down the field. Needs to show significant improvement to be competitive in this stronger-looking field.
Keble Spirit (11/2) – bet365
A well-connected half-brother to Activist Investing, who was successful on US turf. Representing a top yard and partnered by James Doyle, this colt could show up well on his racecourse debut if he’s ready to go.
Quai De Bethune (14/1) – Unibet
A 75,000-euros yearling by Persian King. Comes from a stable with a strong record with its juveniles, so he has to be of interest. The market may give the best indication of his readiness today.
Rock d’Oro (8/13) – Betvictor
Produced an excellent debut effort at Chelmsford, giving a subsequent Group 2 winner a real challenge. Sets a high standard here based on that run and looks the one they all have to beat if reproducing that level of performance.
Follow Your Dream (66/1) – bet365
Beaten a considerable margin on debut at Newbury over this distance and was unfancied in the market. Will need to find a lot of improvement to feature prominently against this field.
Verdict
Rock d’Oro sets the bar high with his strong debut showing and should take plenty of beating if he can replicate that performance. Of the newcomers, Cosmic Year looks the most intriguing given his pedigree and connections. Keble Spirit might also make an impact if he’s ready to run a bold race on his first outing.

Sandown 14:15
Sri Lanka Paradise Island Handicap
Winner £6,019, 2nd £2,824, 3rd £1,411, 4th £706, 5th £352
3yo, 6 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m , GOOD (GoingStick: Round 6.7; Sprint 6.6) (Rail movements: 3.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.35 +14yds) (Watered)
Beshtani (9/2) – bet365
This 4-year-old ran a cracker in a Group 2 at Ascot last time, finishing much closer than his odds suggested. He appears to thrive when racing prominently, which could give him an edge in this contest if conditions suit.
Cash (8/1) – Unibet
Although he’s only managed one win in seven starts, he is a horse with talent. Very lightly raced for his age, he might have needed his latest run and could come on for that effort here.
Checkandchallenge (7/2) – Betvictor
With victories in two Listed races and a Group 3 to his name, he has shown he belongs at this level. His recent effort at York was strong, close to his peak performance, which puts him firmly in the mix.
Crown Board (14/1) – bet365
An all-weather winner who made a quiet return to the track recently. Though unexposed, he holds a Group 1 entry, suggesting connections believe there’s more to come. Could surprise if he takes a step forward.
Elnajmm (15/2) – Unibet
Had been progressing well in handicap company until his latest run. His entry in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes hints at potential, and he could bounce back if conditions are to his liking.
Sean (10/1) – Betvictor
A 7-year-old with a decent track record, but there is a feeling that he may be vulnerable if the younger horses deliver their best form. Capable on his day, but others may have more upside in this field.
Imperial Quarter (9/1) – bet365
Defied tricky conditions to finish in the frame in a Group 3 over this course and distance last time, even with the race not being in her favor. Could be a player here, especially if replicating that effort.
Skellet (4/1) – Unibet
A classy filly who went very close in a French Group 3 on her last outing. Returns to action with her yard in great form and looks ready to take on this field. Has the potential to cause a stir if at her best.
Verdict
Beshtani holds strong claims here, especially if he can adopt a prominent racing position as he did at Ascot. Checkandchallenge has proven himself at this level and should be right in the mix once more. Skellet is another who could make her presence felt after her near miss in France.

Sri Lanka Awaits You Handicap
Winner £6,019, 2nd £2,824, 3rd £1,411, 4th £706, 5th £352

Flat,Turf , 1m 1f 209y , GOOD (GoingStick: Round 6.7; Sprint 6.6) (Rail movements: 3.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.35 +14yds) (Watered)
Own Accord (7/2) – Unibet
Scored impressively over a mile on good ground back in June and has valid excuses for her runs since then. The addition of cheekpieces today might sharpen her up, and a bold show is anticipated.
Powdering (16/1) – bet365
Enjoyed a quick hat-trick over 7 furlongs earlier in the season and has previously won over a mile. However, this distance often seems to stretch her stamina, so she’ll need to find a bit more to be competitive here.
Crystal Casque (14/1) – Betvictor
Not at her best on her latest start, but she was in good form for jockey Oliver Searle in previous runs. Weighted to make an impact if rediscovering her earlier efforts, so not one to overlook.
Fleurir (11/4) – bet365
Finished her 3-year-old season with a win over this trip. Has had some excuses this year, but she still needs to demonstrate that this mark is manageable. The booking of James Doyle is a positive sign.
Expensive Queen (14/1) – Unibet
Won on debut over 7 furlongs and showed promise in a handicap over the same trip later. However, she has been well held in her two runs this season and now faces a new challenge with a different yard.
Dreamrocker (6/1) – Betvictor
A winner over a mile at Ascot, followed by a solid third here over this course and distance. Didn’t stay the 1m2f trip last time out, so a return to this distance is a positive. Worth consideration.
Royal Velvet (10/1) – Unibet
Racked up two wins over a mile at Yarmouth during the summer. However, she couldn’t match that form at Newmarket on her latest start. Needs to find more to bounce back in this contest.
Radiant Beauty (16/1) – bet365
Won a mile novice on the all-weather for her current yard but was well beaten last time out. The switch back to turf poses a new challenge, and she’ll need to step up her game.
Windcrack (3/1) – Betvictor
Returned to form when stepping back to a mile to win comfortably over this course and distance last time. Now up 5lb in the weights but looks capable of further progression, making her a strong contender.
Elderflower (16/1) – Unibet
Showed promise when finishing sixth in a 6f sales race last October but has had excuses since. Stepping up to a mile for the first time, she faces a tough assignment here.
Verdict
Windcrack found the return to a mile to be just what she needed when winning comfortably over this course and distance last time, and there could still be more to come. Own Accord has excuses for her recent efforts and may pose the biggest challenge, while Fleurir should also be in the mix if she can rediscover her best form.

Sandown 15:25
Sri Lanka, The Teardrop Island Fillies’ Handicap
Winner £4,449, 2nd £2,088, 3rd £1,043, 4th £522, 5th £260
3yo+, 7 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m , GOOD (GoingStick: Round 6.7; Sprint 6.6) (Rail movements: 3.00, 3.30, 4.00 & 4.35 +14yds) (Watered)
High Point (8/1) – Unibet
Returned to action this season with a sixth-place finish, but he showed promise last year by winning back-to-back nurseries over this distance. With that run under his belt, he might be more competitive today, especially with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.
Salamanca Lad (4/1) – bet365
Improved significantly after being tried over a mile, winning three times. Was twice tried over 1m2f in the spring before wearing a tongue-tie. He remains an interesting contender if he can carry his form up in trip this time around.
Give It To Me Oj (13/2) – Betvictor
Managed to grab minor honours in his last two outings over 1m3f in small fields. While he has been consistent, he will need to find that extra gear to come out on top today. His ability to stay the trip could work in his favour.
Miaswell (7/1) – Unibet
Has two victories over a mile on soft ground at Haydock, showing enough in his last run when finishing fourth over 10.5 furlongs. That effort suggests he stays this trip, and he could well add to his tally here.
Seeking Charles (16/1) – bet365
Steps into handicap company for the first time with form that is not the most solid. However, as an unexposed type, there’s a chance he might find some improvement, especially now stepping up in distance.
Niloufar (10/1) – Betvictor
Claimed four wins from seven starts in handicap company but put in a lacklustre performance on her latest outing. She will need to put that run behind her and get back to her previous form to be competitive here.
Carnival Day (11/4) – Unibet
Was victorious at Brighton over this distance just nine days ago, leading confidently from over two furlongs out. Carries a 6lb penalty for that success, but if in the same form, she could very well follow up.
Something (9/1) – bet365
Did not figure when co-favourite on his handicap debut at Hamilton over 1m5f in testing conditions. With headgear applied today and dropping back in trip, he might be capable of a better showing this time.
Verdict
Miaswell has shown enough in recent performances to suggest he can handle this trip, and his two previous wins over a mile make him a strong contender here. Carnival Day is on a quick turnaround after her recent win and will be dangerous if maintaining that form despite the penalty. Give It To Me Oj could also have a say if staying the distance well.

Winner £10,308, 2nd £4,834, 3rd £2,418, 4th £1,208, 5th £604, 6th £302
3yo+, 10 Runners
Flat,Turf , 5f 10y , GOOD, Good to firm in places on Round course (GoingStick: 6.8) (Watered)
Bayadere (11/1) – Betvictor
She has been consistent without showing much progression and still needs to prove she has the stamina for this extended trip. Hayley Turner takes the ride, and she’ll need to produce something extra to figure here.
Rose Branch (9/2) – Unibet
Has been a strong performer in three of her four starts for her current yard, making her a key player. Steps up in distance for the first time, and the booking of a 3lb claimer could give her a slight advantage.
Umbria (5/2) – bet365
Finished a respectable third on her handicap debut and might have done even better had the race developed differently. The return to turf is not a concern, and she remains well-handicapped to make a bigger impact.
Seamore (28/1) – Unibet
Has been beaten by just under 7 lengths in both of her handicap starts over a mile and 1m2f. Others in this field appear to have stronger claims, so she may find this test challenging.
Questionable (11/2) – Betvictor
This maiden has displayed a solid profile in handicap company but will be stepping beyond a mile for the first time. If she handles the increase in distance, she could be in contention here.
Alvesta (4/1) – bet365
Has performed steadily in her recent starts and returns to turf here, which should not be a problem. She stays this trip well and has Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, adding to her chances.
Muqinah (9/1) – Unibet
Hasn’t shown much in three novice races and was beaten by around 10 lengths on her handicap debut. Needs to find significant improvement to be competitive in this company.
Sweet Sister (25/1) – Betvictor
Has been found wanting in stamina when trying this distance before and was behind Alvesta on her last run. It looks like she has something to prove over this trip.
Guendolen (8/1) – bet365
Showed improvement when finishing second in a 1m2f maiden at Yarmouth. She brings untapped potential into handicaps and could be one to surprise if taking another step forward.
Little Miss India (20/1) – Unibet
Has shown only modest form so far, including on her handicap debut where William Buick took the reins. Needs to demonstrate more ability to have a say in this contest.
Autumn’s Breeze (40/1) – Betvictor
Was outpaced and finished towards the back on her handicap debut at Kempton. Needs a dramatic turnaround to be involved in the finish here.
Verdict
Umbria appears to have been a bit unlucky when third on her handicap debut and might find better luck today. Alvesta is expected to go well, especially with Oisin Murphy back onboard. Rose Branch also has solid claims, especially if she takes to the step up in distance.
