Dropping back to 6f will suit QETAIFAN (4). Only faded late when fifth contesting a fierce Sandown maiden in latest and trainer Andrew Balding maintains a solid strike-rate with his runners at this venue. The Starspangledbanner entry may get off the mark at the third attempt receiving a nice draw in stall four. Windsor winner SANDS OF MARRA (1) rates an obvious danger after showing ambition racing in the G3 Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood during July. MEKHLED (6) might feature if building on his fair fifth-placed finish debuting at Chelmsford (7f). HERB FENNEL (8) heads the remainder.
