THIS LOOKS EASY FOR THE LAST LION

Great racing today at Sandown? The Racing Post must be short on headlines. There are only 10 horses all day at the meeting that have won in class 2 or higher.

2.20 Sandown The wet weather is partly to blame for the diminished fields, but this is a good time for top sprint trainer Robert Cowell to launch the ex-French Exceed The Limit, 11.0 on BETDAQ early mouse.

2.50 Sandown Mostly class 4 and 5 horses here, yet this purports to be a Listed. It’s surely a gift then for Norfolk Stakes runner-up The Last Lion.

4.00 Sandown Now is the time for all good three-year-olds to come to the aid of the punter and start beating older horses. Just look at the allowance (up to 19lb) Desertoflife gets from Ayrad and Gm Hopkins!

Smacks of a typical Mark Johnston front-running attack; worth a pound at 11.5 on BETDAQ as I write.

4.30 and 5.05 Sandown As the son of a French Classic winner, Both Sides should be happy on the easy surface. Will take a lead from Oasis Spear.

Andrew Balding has another three-year-old, The Graduate ‘chucked in’ here. One of them should win, so I’ll bet stop at a winner, with a small double in case his luck is in.
