Sandown Park Race 2 - Oddschecker Mdn Hurdle (Gbb Race)
COWBOY CASANOVA (1) placed on all five previous appearances. Came home 7L second making hurdle debut at Worcester (3200m) a month ago. Hood now dispensed with and should be right there at the finish. KAYLAN (3) was successful providing racecourse debut attempting a Warwick flat race (3200m) two years ago and hasn't been sighted since. Every chance he still holds plenty of talent. MINT APPROVED (4) had an abundance of previous experience tackling points prior to taking the win at Plumpton (3600m) in April. Enters the mix. HIGHBOURNE KARISMA (7) represents a new yard after saluting in a 2400m French maiden during February. Not underestimated.

Returning from a spell making his jumps debut. He ended last campaign with finished fourth in a small field at Exeter on April 7 over 3300m, 27 len behind Bannerdown carrying 71kg at $2.50 and before that finished eighth of 12 starters at Wincanton on March 5 over 3000m, 12 len behind Nevada Samba with 66kg at $11. This might test him.
