Sandown Park Race 1 - World Horse Welfare Apprentice Handicap
MAGICAL MERLIN (3) was beaten 0.5L on reappearance at Salisbury. That was a great return and can only improve for it. Yard going well and set to take beating. TEMPUS (1) posted a good effort when 4.5L third at Newmarket last time. Remains well treated on best form and could go close despite the big weight. GREAT BLASKET (2) impressed when a 0.5L winner at Chepstow two starts ago. Struggled in a better race since. Can return to form. Keep safe. SPIRIT OF ALBION (5) rates a potential threat to all under a good apprentice jockey.

Second-up. Comes off a 45-day let-up. First-up after eight months gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at Salisbury on June 15 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Hover with 58.5kg at $4.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Brighton on May 28 2024 over 1400m, 3 len behind Musical Mystery carrying 61kg at $11. Fitter and is a leading contender.
