Sandown Park Race 4 - George Lindon-Travers Memorial Handicap (Gbbplus Race)
It might pay to stick with the progressive PENDRAGON (2). This gelded Sir Mark Prescott trained son of Camelot took his record to three from three among handicap company with a smooth success over course and distance. Could prove tough to beat once more. The main threat may come from Beverley winner TARRIANCE (4) who looks interesting stepping up in distance making handicap debut after going down by a neck under a penalty over 2400m at Doncaster. BOATSWAIN (3) did well finishing midfield in a competitive Royal Ascot handicap last month. Might yet do better up in trip. TREMORGIO (5) cannot be ruled out.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resumes off a 36 day letup. Resuming 6th of 8 at Goodwood in the LR Cocked Hat Stakes on May 24 over 2240m, 13 len behind Amiloc with 58kg at $12. Last start got back early 9th of 13 at Ascot in the G2 Queen's Vase on June 18 over 2800m, 6 len behind Carmers carrying 58kg at $67. This looks a tough assignment.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 19 at Ascot on June 19 over 2410m, 6 len behind Merchant with 61kg at $29. The run before that 2nd in a small field at Leicester on May 26 over 2000m, nose behind Aurel with 61.5kg at $1.70. Disappointing latest but rates well here and can bounce back.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at York on June 28 over 2790m, 8 len behind Turquino carrying 56.5kg at $2.90. The run before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a neck at Doncaster June 15 over 2400m defeating Tarriance with 57.5kg at $4.50. Worth including.
