Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 87| D

8/1

Poor the last twice but obvious contender on his Victoria Cup fifth now returning from a break. First run at Sandown and is a player.

Form: 0-03507

Song of The Isles²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 78| D

16/1

Well held the last twice but goes well when the mud is flying. First run here but suspect she'll find a few too strong.

Form: 7-06190

11/2

Lightly-raced 3-y-o who got off the mark at Windsor (extended 1m) last month. Struggled in 4-runner handicap there 10 days ago but it's still early days. Drops back in trip.

Love Dreams²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 76| D

11/2

Latest win came in 7f seller at Wolverhampton in April. Shaped well in Ascot apprentice handicap under this rider (who can now claim 3 lb) last time and not dismissed off reduced mark.

Form: 7-31266

Biggles⁶⁸

11/4

Off the mark at Kempton (6f) in March before a good run on handicap debut at Newmarket over this trip. Poor at Salisbury (6f) next time but remains with potential back from 2 months off.

Form: 6/7126

Prince Of Bel Lir²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: J Parr| OR: 79| BF

7/4

Opened account on return at Nottingham (6f) in May. Well backed and went close on first go over 7f at Epsom 3 weeks ago and a big player off the same mark now switched to Sandown. Soft ground fine.

Form: 435-193

Forecasts

Prince Of Bel Lir (7/4), Riknnah (5/2), Biggles (11/4), Love Dreams (11/2), Eminent Hipster (11/2), Harrison Point (8/1), Song of The Isles (16/1)

PRINCE OF BEL LIR was well backed when going close on his first run over 7f at Epsom 3 weeks ago and gets the vote off the same mark with his yard in fantastic form. Riknnah is worth keeping on side despite her Newmarket flop, while Harrrison Point, who was fifth in the Victoria Cup in May, could be set for a revival back from a break.
