Race Favourite

Q TWENTY BOY is the 4/1 favourite for the opening race of Sandown’s Sunday card* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020).

But this is a competitive field and he may not line up at the start as the favorite.

He has placed in his last two trips with the headgear on, the last effort being a beaten favourite at Bath 11 days ago. There’s easily enough to take him on.

Sandown Racing Odds Tips

KING ROBERT has big claims for this one. His last effort saw him claim fourth place over course and distance a couple of weeks ago. He’s dropped down to a good mark now and has to pose a threat.

The other that looks likely is INDIAN RAJ who was a place back in fifth behind King Robert over course and distance a couple of weeks ago. That was after a very good runner-up effort at Newmarket.

Race Favourite

BLESSED is the current 9/2 favourite for the Oxshott Handicap* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020).

He was last seen over course and distance and shaped pretty well there to take a runner-up finish. That was a significant improvement from her in coming back down to the 7f distance.

There’s likely another bold race to come from him and has some strong claims.

Sandown Racing Odds Tips

CLAUDIUS SECUNDUS looks a threat as well in this field and claims 3lb for Cieren Fallon. He has been in steady form and was third over course and distance under handicap terms 10 days ago.

He doesn’t look far away from a score after that recent turf debut. Claudius Secundus should be in the frame here.

Also warranting some respect is COLONEL WHITEHEAD who scored over course and distance on his last run.

There is likely more to come from him as well and has to factor into things. He also claims 7lb importantly for jockey Ellie Mackenzie.

Race Favourite

We currently have both WILD HERO and CALATRAVA at the head of this market at a 7/2 price* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020).

WILD HERO produced a score on his last run. That was in a 7f maiden contest at Leicester and he knocked over a subsequent winner there too.

He should be comfortable over the 1m trip as he stayed on really well at Leicester.

CALATRAVA has rattled the crossbar on his last two runs, taking back to back runner-up finishes.

Those were in novice efforts and under handicap terms here actually looks a threat. The form has been there since return.

Sandown Racing Odds Tips

AL BADR has put in a couple of good maiden efforts and could take a step forward under handicapping for the first time.

On his last run he took a 6th place finish, but he was forced wide at Wolverhampton over a mile and a half. Al Badr is one for the shortlist.

FORMALITY claims 3lb for Cieren Fallon in this one and the son of Frankel could make a good impression.

Handicapping should bring a lot more out of him and he looks primed for a big challenge down at the 1m mark. He also gets the headgear for the first time.

Race Favourite

The race favourite for this Fillies’ Handicap is PARADISE ON EARTH at 11/4* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020). This will be just her third racetrack appearance.

She had a reasonably promising debut but then showed tremendous progress to earn a second place finish at Chelmsford a month ago.

Coming from trainer John Gosden and still with plenty to offer, Paradise On Earth brings leading claims.

Sandown Racing Odds Tips

BY MY SIDE is likely to be a good contender for the score in this fixture. He has gotten better and better as a three-year-old.

An upward swing in form resulted in a runner up finish over course and distance upon her handicap debut in July.

Gets the visor for the first time and is one to keep on side from 7/2* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020).

It will be very interesting to see what SOUTH COAST, daughter of War Front will bring to proceedings on her return.

She sounded off on her juvenile campaign with back to back second-place finishes. She’s at top weight with the handicapper not taking any chances.

South Coast gets the cheek pieces for the first time.

Race Favourite

MOLINARI is heading the market currently at 10/3* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020). The recent form has been there from him and he is coming down in grade as well.

He bagged a score at Windsor to get off the mark before claiming a second place at Ascot in his last two runs. It means that he is coming on very strongly under handicapping now and has some leading claims.

Sandown Racing Odds Tips

WATER’S EDGE has been in the frame in his last two efforts. So he should be one of the front runners for this contest.

It does look as if has more to find because he hasn’t quite produced the cleanest of runs. Certainly not on his recent 3rd at Chepstow a couple of weeks ago. He claims 3lb for Cieren Fallon.

One that is worth a look as well is EL SLAVAJE who is unexposed. He comes up on trips as he turns to handicapping now.

Looked useful in a couple of novice events recently and as he seems to be on the right track he could produce a bold run.

Race Favourite

The race favourite for this handicap is RAVENTREE who is progressing nicely and lines up currently at 7/4* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 02:36 GMT on Saturday, 1st August 2020).

On her last trip the filly scored a second place finish in a Lingfield maiden and she was only edged out by a neck in that 12f contest. She could easily fancy the extra trip and she will go with a hood.

Sandown Racing Odds Tips

BEALACH had a good show at Leicester a couple of runs ago to claim fourth. He got a bit tangled up in the crowd at Yarmouth on his last effort. But he gets cheek pieces for the first time and he looks to be a battler who can handle the extra trip.

THAI POWER has to enter the equation as well for this trip. He has been rapidly improving and scored his first win at Kempton in June. Trained by Andrew Balding, Thai Power has pleased connections with his last two trips on turf and could be a big player.
