Theatre Guide can put on a show for connections at Sandown

North: Richard Young

Aza Run (12.55 Ffos Las, nap)

Showed ability on chase debut and, although below best last time, the ground here should suit better. Goes well fresh, on a decent mark
compared to pick of hurdle form and fancied to go well for yard among the winners this week.

Lambourn: James Burn

Harefield (2.55 Sandown, nap)

Alan King's string remain in fine form and this five-year-old has unfinished business over hurdles. A faller on two of his last three outings, he has done plenty of schooling and should find conditions suitable.

Others to follow
Ffos Las: 2.00 Mulcahys Hill, 3.35 Lunar Flow.
Sandown: 12.45 The Bottom Bar, 1.15 Hitherjacques Lady, 1.50 Sevarano, 2.20 Terrefort, 4.00 Jackson Hill.

West Country: Andrew King

Remastered (1.25 Ffos Las, nap)

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Theatre Guide (3.25 Sandown)

Has been disappointing since his reappearance twelve months ago and has a bit to prove but the handicapper has given him a chance.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Steel Native (3.35 Ffos Las)

Landed this race off a similar mark first time up last season and, with his stable in decent form, is fancied to repeat the trick.

Longshot: Gavin Beech

Poker School (12.45 Sandown)

Best fresh so now might be the time to catch this course winner, especially as he should get this run to suit. Conditions fine and definite chance in what looks a wide-open race.

Ireland: Brian Sheerin

Ballyoisin (2.10 Navan)

Enda Bolger's star inmate has enjoyed a fine season and he should be hard to beat back over fences.
