2/1
Belatedly off the mark at Windsor (10f) last month and improved on that when close second of 9 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago. 3 lb higher now but another bold bid looks on the cards.

Forecasts

Sir William (2/1), Atherstone Warrior (3/1), Dancing Tiger (10/3), Advancing (15/2), The Bellhop (12/1), Perfect Scoundrel (18/1), Big Sip (20/1), Mahogany Bay (28/1), Jonnie (33/1)

16:45 Sandown - 17 September 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ATHERSTONE WARRIOR figures off a handy mark and will be much better served by this more conventional track after staying on late at Epsom last time. He makes fair appeal. Dancing Tiger and Sir William are also of interest.
