Forecasts

Sunrise Ruby (3/1), Guardia Top (9/2), Pop The Cork (11/2), Welland (7/1), The Raven's Return (7/1), Catch The Cuban (7/1), Mickey Buckman (10/1), Et Moi Alors (16/1), Harry Hazard (16/1), Megalodon (16/1), Kestrel Valley (33/1), Derek Duval (33/1), Golconda Prince (66/1)

Verdict

A low-key finale to an otherwise interesting Sandown card. The chances of Guardia Top, Catch The Cuban and Sunrise Ruby are fairly obvious on paper, but equally the latter named pair in particular are perfectly beatable. Therefore, the tentative vote goes to one of the Gary Moore-trained runners, MICKEY BUCKMAN. His opening mark of 119 isn't 'a gift', hence the deployment of the 7lb claimer Niall Houlihan (Joshua Moore partners Et Moi Alors) but both of his runs over hurdles at Huntingdon stack up well. His most recent 3½L third has been advertised since by the winner Do Wanna Know (Newbury) and the second Hurricance Harvey (Ludlow).
  1. Mickey Buckman
  2. Guardia Top
  3. Catch The Cuban
