Royal Reserve (7.05 Leicester, nap)

Michael Bell's team can do no wrong at present and this handicapper is fit from some decent work on the watered gallop of late. The five-year-old is expected to be suited by the track where they do a good job with the watering.

Bath 2.30 Matchmaking, 3.00 Galileo's Spear, 4.30 Bath and Tennis.

North: Colin Russell

(4.40 Catterick, nap)

Below her best at Carlisle last time but this left-handed track should suit her much better. Has cheekpieces on for the first time and is fancied to fare much better.

Sandown 7.25 Magical Effect.

Lambourn: James Burn

(6.20 Sandown, nap)

Well-regarded filly went close on her debut over course and distance in June and has been given ample time since. She should be hard to beat.

Others to follow
Bath 2.00 Cubswin, 3.00 High Wells, 3.30 More Than Likely, 5.00 Rippling Waters.
Catterick 2.40 Liberty Diva.
Leicester 7.40 Plunger, 8.10 Iconic Belle.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Amberine(4.00 Bath, nap)

Justified support dropped back in distance in first-time cheekpieces over course and distance last time. She's fancied to go in again off a 4lb higher mark.

Others to follow
Bath 5.00 Mister Musicmaster.
Lingfield 1.50 The Lords Walk, 2.20 American Patrol.
Leicester 7.40 Jupiter.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

(4.50 Lingfield, nap)

Returned to form when splitting a couple of unexposed fillies at Leicester last time out, and having scored off a stone higher mark this time last year she's certainly well handicapped if backing that up.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Ghayadh(7.40 Leicester, nap)

Form of his recent Carlisle success has already been boosted and Hugo Palmer's improving three-year-old can add to his tally.

Longshot: Samuel King

East Indies (2.50 Lingfield, nap)

Returns from an absence but has previously won over hurdles when fresh, gets a career low mark and if able to settle better could go well in an open looking handicap.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

(6.40 Naas, nap)

This looks a good opportunity for the son of Invincible Spirit to get off the mark. Runner-up on his last three starts, most recently to the smart Waikuku at Leopardstown six days ago when he finished clear of the rest, he drops one furlong in trip here and can score for the Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien combination.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Ronald Harris has had three wins and a 25/1 second from five runners in Sandown handicaps in the last three seasons, for a £1 level-stakes profit of £17.25. Glamorous Rocketgoes in the 5f event at 6.55.
