Sandown Park Race 2 - Trainor Stone & Tile Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
Newcomer ALTIUS (2) represents leading connections and profiles well on paper being a colt by Frankel from the stakes-winner Althiqa. Makes plenty of appeal. CHARLEMONT GG (1) was off the mark at the second attempt a fortnight ago scoring by 1L contesting a Kempton AW maiden over the journey. Can continue the progressive trend in this level. Rates highly. IMPERIAL NATION (6) shaped well on debut producing a 6.5L third in a 1200m novice event at Newmarket during May with the winner scoring three times since including the G2 Superlative Stakes and the G1 Summer Stakes at Woodbine (Canada). Big claims. KINGDOM OF KUSH (7) indicated promise first up when 2.75L second in a 1200m maiden at Newbury three weeks ago. Might feature.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 3rd in a small field at Newmarket (Rowley) on May 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Al Hudaiba with 60.5kg at $6.50. Might find this a bit tough.

Was well-supported at debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Newbury on August 26 over 1300m, 2.75 len behind Scythe carrying 60.5kg at $3.10. Capable of building on that performance and he looks one of the main chances.
