A nice card at Sandown tonight which of course sees the return of Workforce in the 7.40. This could well be the toughest Group 3 run for some time with the Derby and Arc hero looking to concede 7lb all round. He is of course head and shoulders above his rivals on last years form and if the predicted rain today does come it will not hurt his chances. Stoutes colt will be a short price but must be fancied.
The Listed National Stakes at 6.30 is a good two-year-old heat and I fancy Magic City to gain revenge on Bannock who beat him last time at Windsor. The Elusive City colt is 3lb better at the weights today and was given a fair bit to do at Windsor and just couldn’t catch the winner. His previous two runs, winning on debut and second to Miss Work Of Art, were top quality and he should get back to winning ways today.
The Group Two at 7.05 sees some nice stayers taking to the track and Godolphin might have a very nice one in the shape of Holberg. Twice a winner at Goodwood last season he rounded off the season finishing sixth in the Melbourne Cup. Fitness has to be taken on trust but having won on his past two seasonal debuts he should be ready to go.
The Listed heat at 8.15 is a nice little race and I fancy the William Haggas trained Fury to take the honours if he has come out of the 2000 Guineas, where he finished fifth, in good shape.
Be lucky
