Tip for this race
All today's tips ›One For Snowy is the only runner in this seven-strong Sandown field to carry a rating from us, and a figure of 100 gives him a solid platform over two miles on good ground. The six rivals, among them Gaoithe, Just Billy and Turn Up The Music, are all unrated by us, so the main danger is simply that one of the unexposed sorts proves better than we can gauge. Even so, in a Class 4 contest the one runner with a proven level to lean on is the most sensible choice, and our selection is One For Snowy.

Gaoithe is an unraced debutant with no form to assess, so he is unexposed and open to improvement. He carries 156 lb, and everything about his ability is still to be revealed.

Just Billy is an unexposed debutant with no recorded form to go on, so he's open to improvement from the outset. He carries 156 lb, and his first run should reveal plenty about what he can do.

Knowonelikesus is unexposed with no recorded form to go on, so this gelding's debut is a step into the unknown, and he looks open to improvement. He shoulders 156 lb, a hefty burden for a newcomer.

One For Snowy arrives in cracking recent form, a second last time out and a winner two starts back, and has run over today's trip before. A 252-day absence is the one reservation, though our rating of 100 makes him the one to beat despite 156 lb.

Jonathan Burke
Alan King 1/22
Unexposed gelding who was second on his latest start, though he returns after 546 days off and is yet to win in recent form, so he's open to improvement; he carries 156 lb for a yard that is quiet at 1/22 over the last fortnight.

Unraced and unexposed, Turn Up The Music makes her debut with plenty of scope to improve, though she carries 149 lb. Her yard is out of sorts with just one success from 21 in the last fortnight, which tempers the enthusiasm.
