Sandown Park Race 3 - Sir Michael Stoute - Farewell And Thank You Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
Form of a ROCK D'ORO (6) debut second at Chelmsford (1400m) took a timely boost when the winner found success in the G2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster over the weekend. Trainer Ralph Beckett has been producing juvenile winners of late and it will be disappointing if this son of Bolt D'oro cannot add to the tally here. Newcomers rate the biggest danger to the main selection including the well-bred Kingman colt COSMIC YEAR (1) who is just preferred to the John and Thady Gosden trained KEBLE SPIRIT (4). Strength in the betting behind QUAI DE BETHUNE (5) could prove telling.

Two-year-old colt by Kingman out of Passage Of Time having his first start. Has the pedigree and will pay to keep safe.

First-starter by Oasis Dream out of Blinking purchased for GNS 70,000 (Tattersalls 2023 October Yearling Sale Book 2). But watch for any market moves.

At debut, second last of 13 at Newbury on August 17 over 1400m, 16 len behind Mukaber with 60.5kg at $17. Should improve but looks tested in this line-up.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Persian King out of Edavanna. Tough to line up and betting likely to provide best guide.

At debut, ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 10 at Chelmsford on August 29 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Bay City Roller carrying 59kg at $6. Shows ability and expected to improve. Will take a lot from that hitout and is a key runner.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 11 at Newbury on September 5 over 1400m, slow going 18 len behind Too Much Heaven carrying 58kg at $67. Needs significant improvement to feature.
