3:35 Sandown Tips

Open to any amount of improvement, and form of debut win has been franked since by the runner-up. The one to beat.

Humidity won his first two races well from the front, which included the Chesham at Royal Ascot. He flopped in a Group 2 at Goodwood on softer going, where he was restless in the stalls and stuck out wide during the race. Although ridden to lead over 1f out, he weakened into 7th place. He should be given another chance at Sandown against the less exposed Pacific Avenue and He's Wallim, who are both 1 win from 1 run.

A Bit Of Spirit has only had four runs but won the first two in C4, then C2. The last two runs have been in listed company, with the first of those being the better at 7f. He gets my vote with the hope that he gets on with the expected going while back at 7f.

He's Waliim is a good horse. This race is an upgrade from its last race, but I'm going to back it each way and see if I can nick a bit of money off the each way thieves.

This Munnings colt made all in a tidy Kempton novice three weeks ago, showing pace and a willingness to respond under pressure. He now gets Daniel Muscutt for Marco Botti, and while a wide stall isn't ideal, seven runners on soft ground should make this more about rhythm and track position. In with a shout to step up in this Group 3.
