18:00 (Sandown) Nonsuch Lad

A winner over course and distance last September, this looks like a good opportunity for Nonsuch Lad to regain the winning thread after some highly-creditable efforts in defeat of late.

The four-year-old should have too much for Mrembo and Beautiful Crown, who is looking to end a losing sequence dating back to August 2021.

Sarkha and Sea Of Charm are also capable of being in the shake-up.

19:40 (Sandown) Night Arc

Frequent Flyer has been a little disappointing so far this season, but blinkers go on for the first time and Oisin Murphy is back on board so a better showing is possible.

Distinguished Lady goes up in trip to a mile on her first start for Darryll Holland and is of certain interest.

Night Arc travelled so well into the race at Doncaster last time that the suspicion is that he is well up to winning off this sort of mark, especially if delaying his challenge a bit later.

20:10 (Sandown) Gozo

Ben Brookhouse's Gozo arguably faces his easiest test to date this season in the Racing TV Handicap.

In three runs since leaving Ian Williams, he has been beaten a short head at Haydock by the now 91-rated Coverdale, finished a fair third in the Bibury Cup at Salisbury and outran 40/1 odds to be a fine fifth of 12 in a £100,000 race at the July meeting.

He has been dropped 1lb for finishing just over three lengths behind Killybegs Warrior there and should go well again.

20:40 (Sandown) Neandra

Militry Decoration has been coming to the boil nicely this season and has dropped back down to his last winning mark, which makes him a player.

Bunker Bay scrambled home over shorter at Yarmouth last time and shapes like this trip will suit. That said, this might be a good opportunity for Neandra to get off the mark for the season.

Things haven't panned out for her on the all-weather at Kempton the last twice and there is a good chance this track will suit back on turf.
