    Verdict

    The idiom 'horses for courses' often rings true at Sandown and GUNSIGHT RIDGE, who made it two wins from four starts at this course (placed on other two occasions) when seeing off Dr T J Eckleburg in this race last season, is taken to enhance his good record round here. He has far lower mileage than most 11-y-os and is back down to the same mark as 12 months ago. Dr T J Eckleburg could again prove dangerous and is feared most ahead of the rock-solid Escapeandevade and novice Jax Junior.

    Gunsight Ridge silk

    Third in 2022 renewal of this and went two places better when landing last year's running off this mark. Overall Sandown form figures read 1321 and while he hasn't been at his best so far this season, it would be no surprise at all to see him bounce back with a big run.

    Dr T J Eckleburg (Ire) silk

    Won twice last term and was beaten just ½-length by Gunsight Ridge in this race 12 months ago (meets that rival on 4 lb better terms this time round). Below par initially this season but more like it when third with cheekpieces enlisted (retained) at Windsor recently and he's one to consider.

    Escapeandevade (Ire) silk

    Generally below par for James Ewart last term but mark eased as a result and firmly back on track for new yard this season, scoring at Haydock last month and runner-up on each of his additional 3 starts for Harry Derham. Rock-solid candidate who looks sure to give another good account.
