Sandown Kia Salisbury Handicap

Low-mileage sprinter from excellent yard. Wasn't able to build on the promise of his handicap debut when suffering interference behind Supreme King over C&D 7 weeks ago. Could be worth another chance dropped in grade.

C&D winner who landed a pair of sprint handicaps at Windsor (6f) this summer. Form of the latter success hasn't worked out, though, and she arrives on the back of a lesser effort at the same track.

Thrived for current yard last season. Hasn't gone on from a promising reappearance second in listed company at Bath this year, for all she wasn't disgraced when beaten 3 lengths in a stronger C&D event last time.

Fallen a long way in weights since completing 6f double in better company at Ascot last September. On the way back in recent starts, finishing ½-length second in big-field Goodwood handicap latest. Still looks well treated from an unchanged mark.

Doubled his tally in a 3-y-o Windsor handicap (6f) in June. Better than the result at Glorious Goodwood prior to reverting to his slow-starting ways at Newbury (5f) latest, when never able to land a blow. Return to 6f can only help and is weighted to be competitive from his inside draw.

Belatedly gained reward for several creditable efforts when winning a better event over C&D in June. Struggled in Class 2 company both starts since, latterly beaten 8 lengths in Ayr Bronze Cup. Ought to at least be competitive back on her latest winning mark.

Versatile sprinter who beat a couple of today's rivals when winning at Salisbury in early-August. Still in top form when bidding to make it 3-3 here earlier this month. Emerged with credit when 4½ lengths third at Chester last time, too, and merits respect with Colin Keane taking over.

Improving 3-y-o. Made it third time lucky in good style from the front at Leicester (6f) on latest start in June, racing more efficiently in first-time hood. Handicap mark looks a generous one and can make a bold bid if ready to roll.

Progressive 3-y-o. Encouraging return when second (no match for useful one) in soft-ground Yarmouth novice (non runner on good to firm last week). Quickened clear to go one better at Wolverhampton maiden on qualifying run in July. Open to improvement on handicap bow, though stall 14 isn't ideal.

Has advanced his form in 3-y-o handicaps since getting off the mark in a C&D maiden (good to soft) in May. Undone by wide draw when well held at Chester (6f, heavy) last time. Still has bit to find at the weights on second start against his elders.

Lightly-raced 3-y-o who landed the odds in 4-runner novice at Doncaster on reappearance. Return to positive tactics saw him match that form at the second attempt in handicaps at Newmarket (6f) latest, finishing 4 lengths third. May have more joy when back up in trip.

Two-time 7f winner. Coped well on first try sprinting when 2¼-length third in fillies handicap over C&D last month. Looked more straightforward when running to similar level at Sandown (7f) latest. A 1 lb reprieve probably isn't enough, though.

Three-time C&D winner who was at the top of his game when completing a Ffos Las double (6f, good) in August. Didn't find as much as looked likely when beaten 4 lengths on hat-trick bid here (6f, soft) latest. This looks a better race, too.

Arrives 2 lb lower than when successful in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (7f) last December. Uncharacteristically blew that start on return to that course latest. Returns to sprinting/turf and capable of making an impact if putting it all together for in-form yard.
