Saturday Tips at Sandown – Dan James Racing

This horse is an Arkle winner last year but finished third two runs ago. A small skin wound was found afterwards, so that was easy to look past. They won the Brooklands Golden Miller Chronograph chase in classy style finishing three lengths ahead of Grey Dawning who is a top type. They are mightily impressive on the eye and can win again on Saturday at odds of 7/4.

Quite clearly pulled last week to run here at the weekend on better ground and I personally think it's a great decision. Badly needed a stiffer test when finishing second last time out, so the step up in trip to 3m+ is the perfect move and this horse is much better than any handicap race. Can make light work of this field.

This horse has won three in a row after joining the Fergal O'Brien yard and connections are very confident in a major run today. They stay at the 2m trip, and this horse is versatile when it comes to the ground. The yard in serious form with a 29% strike rate in the last two weeks and this can be another success for a fantastic yard with CopyBet ambassador, Johnny Burke, booked for the ride.
