DragonBet: Oncourse And Online Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle

Orange Diamond 0.5pt EW 25/1 (4 places Skybet) – Tailed off last time out over 2 miles when returning from a year off the track but was pleasing enough when all things were considered. Has yet to race beyond 2m 5f but has bags of stamina on the Sires side of the breeding so could well have plenty more to offer stepped up markedly in trip here today. Yard does well at Hereford with 3 winners and 3 placed from just 9 runners so the chance is taken that he has one going under the radar here today.

BetMGM Lincoln Trial Handicap

Silent Age 0.5pt EW 66/1 (4 places Coral) – Very lightly raced 4 year old who made a very pleasing start for the Godolphin team and Charlie Appleby when winning his first two starts on the AW including one here over CD. Was caught out in a listed race following that and was then up against it from the weights in a hot looking handicap at Newcastle. Has been sold on now by Godolphin but still has plenty of promise despite not making the cut at the very prestigious Appleby yard. Was far from disgraced making his return last time out following a 10 month lay off and could well kick on here today. A career best would be needed but has real potential to outrun this current mark at a huge price.

Enthused 1pt win only 12/1 – Looks to have run out of rope with the handicapper over obstacles following a couple of wins and a few placed efforts but is very much worth a try from this mark going back over the AW. He is still relatively unexposed in this sphere and has gone close in similar company from around this mark. The trip could be on the sharp side having done most of his flat work beyond 10f but that said his best runs have probably come at the mile so is definitely worth a try in a race where a few are looking hard to win with or in the handicappers grip. Yard boasts a near 29% strike at the track with a LSP of +29 so are no strangers to a winner here and for those wanting to play safer his place rate is 50% at the track.

Twilight Romance 0.5 pt EW 25/1 – Yet to win in handicap company but looks very well treated on some of his previous form. Lightly race and still should have some improvement to offer. Will likely strip fitter for his recent return from wind surgery and 221 days off the track and looks to have been found a real chance of getting his head in front today.

14:25 Sandown 08 Mar 2025

Betfair Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle

Spirits Bay 1pt win only 13/2 – Very lightly raced likely improver who ran very well in grade 2 company last time out up against a few very big hitters. A repeat of that performance would put to bed any thoughts that the handicapper has got a grip on this one. Yards last 2 runners in this race have both won so needs taking seriously having been sent for a tilt at this sought after prize.
