1

Hurricane Ivor

Had some sprinting success when trained in France but showed little on his only UK run, on soft ground at York in May.

2

Lihou

Hasn’t won since an all-weather triumph in January but has finished close to the winners’ money in all eight starts since. No reason why he should not again run well.

3

Mokaatil

Not very consistent but he is a six-times winner who outspeeded 15 rivals in the "Dash" at Epsom’s downhill track last time. He’s 6lb higher but this track should suit.

4

Spoof

Always travelling nicely, he won a sprint here last August and also finished strongly to win at Chester last time. A 2lb hike looks fair and he’s got chances.

5

Bossipop

This is his 79th career start but first at Sandown. In good form lately and close up again last time, at Chester a turning track that he does particularly well at.

6

Firepower

A winner over this trip on his career debut but largely disappointing since including some lengthy absences. First start for this stable.

7

Pop Dancer

Patient riding tactics payed off when he won a handicap over this course and distance in 2020. That was on fast ground, but he has won on soft also.

8

Saaheq

Has a good Sandown record and won here again last time, outspeeding 11 rivals. Still looks decently handicapped.

9

Pettochside

None of this veteran speedster’s 18 career wins have come at Sandown but he is still capable of outpacing much younger rivals as he showed with 2021 Ascot and Bath wins.

10

Phoenix Star

His talented rider partnered him to an all-weather handicap victory three starts back. Might have finished closer than fourth here last time with a cleaner passage.
