Sandown Park Race 6 - Close Brothers Motor Finance Hcp
BERKSHIRE BOOM (4) Did well to run into 2nd last run at Chester and facing weaker opposition. Yard is in form and form has been improving over recent runs. Big chance. LYRA LEA (1) Competitive effort when 2nd last run at Salisbury and will appreciate the drop in grade. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Showing great form this campaign. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. NORFOLK BLUE (5) Tailed off when 5th last run at Ffos Las. Can make a comeback and facing a weaker group of contenders. Must be considered. UNIONVILLE (3) Disappointing outing when 8th last time at Kempton but dropping in grade. Shows good early pace. Keep in mind.
