Horse on the up ⭐️

Sandown 2.00 - Precious Cargo

Nicky Henderson's rapidly progressive hurdler looks destined for the top.

He won easily at Kempton in January and followed up with a bloodless win at Sandown.

His future lies over fences and he is one to follow closely.

Ride of the day 💰

Sandown 3.05 - Jonjo O'Neill Jr on Forza Milan 

Jonjo O'Neill Jr produced a ride of pure class on Forza Milan at Sandown.

The young star held the seven-year-old up stone last and gradually crept into contention.

He produced the gelding with a beautiful leap at the last before scooting clear to win at 20-1 - much to the delight of our own Jack The Tipper.

One for the tracker 🔭

Leicester 3.25 - Bally Lagan

Robin Dickin's 11-year-old bounced back to form with a good second.

The gelding had dropped to a tempting mark and made the well-backed favourite Waikiki Waves sweat.

He remains dangerously weighted and could pick up a small race in the near future.
