AT last, some rain! The rainfall at Sandown has changed the going to Good To Soft and this should suit Harlequin Striker who is one of eight runners in the mile handicap at 8.15pm.
The 6yo son of Bahamian Bounty has been running well of late on unsuitable Good To Firm going. He’s on a winning mark and with Robert Winston aboard, the scene is set for a decent run, although the hot favourite, Whitehall will be hard to beat.
The Striker is a top-priced 9/1 and if all eight go to post, there would be worse each-way bets this season.
