Sandown Park Race 8 - Billy Ocean At Sandown Park 29 July Hcp
KING OF BERKSHIRE (1) Backing up quickly for this race. Made a mess of them when winning by 3L last run at Thirsk. Will be positive in the run early. Going well this campaign. Should be too good. WARDLAW (3) Ran well when 2nd last time at Lingfield and can find a nice position from the draw. Should race on the speed. Can give this a shake. RED RIFLE (4) Was strong to the line when winning by a margin of close to 8L last run at Catterick but challenged by a tougher grade. Include in chances. HEROICS (2) Finished 4th last start at York but competing in a lower grade. Drawn the rails. One of the hopes.

On a short back up. Spaced the field to win by 3L last run at Thirsk. Should be going forward early. Going well this preparation. Nice enough type to be supported.

Came in 4th last start at York but will appreciate the drop in grade. Can save some energy from the stall. Represents value at a price.

Made no mistakes when winning by a margin of almost 8L last run at Catterick but up against a more competitive field. Worthy of strong consideration.
