1.50 - Download The BetMGM App Handicap (Class 3) – Arctic Grey

Arctic Grey is my first ride of the day, and we're back at Sandown over seven furlongs again after a disappointing run last time out. We've had a bit of time off and he's had a gelding operation since - we're coming here with hopes that those changes will turn things around for him. I've always thought a lot of him - he could have obviously done with a better draw on the day, but we're here to see where we are with him.

I'd probably say Arctic Grey - if he can defy his draw, and the gelding operation works out for him - would be my best chance of the day.

New Ladbrokes Offer

4.10 - Tattersalls £40,000 EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race) (Class 2) – Aura Champagne

Aura Champagne is a nice Dark Angel filly, trained by Richard Hannon, and she's been doing all the right things at home... we're ready to get her started here over seven furlongs. This is a good opportunity for us to see exactly where she's at, and we're hopeful we can come away with something. 

5.20 - Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap (Class 4) – Distant Rumble

We finish the day with Distant Rumble in the last for Roger Teal, and he's got a good draw here. He's a pretty speedy type with a workable mark. He's been competitive recently, without getting his head in front. This will be his first time running at this track, and we're hopeful that brings about some improvement and a bit of good fortune.
