Sandown Park Race 5 - Coral Marathon (Listed) (Registered As The Esher Stakes)
LAZY GRIFF (3) finished third resuming from a spell last start over 3200m at this track. Key runner. FURTHUR (2) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher grade last time finishing behind a noted performer over 4000m in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup. Finds a suitable race and is sure to be prominent. PARADIAS (4) was fifth tackling 3200m at this track beaten 5L. Generally goes well here with a win and two minor placings from five attempts and warrants plenty of thought. DUKE OF OXFORD (1) missed the frame two runs back when fresh from a spell then subsequently trying 3200m here managed a 6L seventh. Nicely positioned to find some form.

Most recently ran second last of 11 at Ascot in the G1 Ascot Gold Cup on June 18 over 4000m, 36 len behind Scandinavia with 58.5kg at $101. The start before that ran second last of 7 at this track in the G3 Henry II Stakes on May 28 over 3200m, 5 len behind Dubai Future with 58.5kg at $7.50. Key chance on best and capable of taking this out.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after a year 3rd of 7 at this track in the G3 Henry II Stakes on May 28 over 3200m, 2 len behind Dubai Future carrying 58.5kg at $6. Previously second-up 2nd of 18 at Epsom Downs in the G1 The Derby on June 7 2025 over 2400m, 4 len behind Lambourn with 58kg at $51. Hard to beat on his latest effort.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Last start 5th of 7 at this track in the G3 Henry II Stakes on May 28 over 3200m, 5 len behind Dubai Future carrying 59kg at $19. Before that ran second last in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) in the G2 Jockey Club Stakes on May 1 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Santorini Star carrying 59.5kg at $19. Suited this level so cannot be underestimated.
