Nap Of The Day: 1535 Sandown: Amirite, 2pts win, 7/1:
The last big chase of the season can, fittingly head back to Ireland. It may not be for champion and maestro Mullins but instead the De Bromhead – Blackmore duo can strike. Amirite has long looked ready for a big price and a saddle slip two runs ago and heavy ground since hasn’t helped, but this is his trip and ground and a huge run is imminent.
13.15 Ayr: An Bradan Feasa, 18/1:
Gets a useful weight allowance as a 4yo. Has run with credit in top juvenile races and arrived at the Boodles with a decent chance. Ran better there than initially seems having traveled brilliantly before racing late. This better ground could suit his smooth travelling style.
164.45 Sandown: Mayhem Maia , 10/1
Mare stepped up on all known form when a closing 4th at Aintree. If she can build on that here the she would have a big chance and there is reason to think she might enjoy a good surface.
17.15 Sandown: Monviel, 20/1
Once promising in top 2m hurdles including a few times at this track. Had been toiling in soft ground this season but showed more promise the last twice and the drying surface can squeeze out enough improvement for a shock win.
