Side with Dargel at Sandown

TIPS: Three-yearold’s debut run at mile and a quarter

DARGEL is the pick in the Betway Live Casino Handicap at Sandown today.

Trained by Clive Cox, the three-yearold has progressed with racing and was narrowly denied a hat-trick under a penalty at Kempton earlier this month.

He has another 2lb to carry today, but equally he tries a mile and a quarter for the first time – and that could bring about a bit more improvement.

The lightly-raced SEASCAPE is the one to be with in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Fillies’ Handicap.

Henry Candy’s runner does not have many miles on the clock, but does have ability and will be sharper for her return at Leicester at the end of July.

She also promises to be a lot better suited for the return to faster ground, as she showed when winning on her penultimate outing, at Salisbury in May.

A bit of a chance is taken on MARHABAN in the Play 4 To Score At Betway Handicap.

Charlie Appleby’s runner has not been seen since a disappointing effort at Newmarket in April, a run which came after a gelding operation.

He had, however, looked a useful sort in the making when winning twice at the beginning of the year and should not be written off yet.

DIVIN BERE can notch just the second win of his career on the Flat when he goes in the Ladies’ Day At thirskraces Saturday 7th September Book Now Handicap.

The talented six-year-old is now with Iain Jardine, having been second at both Cheltenham and Aintree in 2017 for Nicky Henderson, before joining Paul Nicholls.

He ran below par when last seen at Doncaster in June, but had performed well in a couple of runs for Jardine before that – and the break might have freshened him up to good effect.
