Friday Fun

There is a good card at Sandown tomorrow, and a very competitive marathon handicap chase at Exeter. 

In the first at Sandown, it looks a straight battle between Helium and Tuanku. I fancy Helium to come out the better of the two. Nick Gifford's horse ran well on soft ground at Warwick, when winning last time out and with the trainer's horses in such good form he has got to be the one to beat. 

In the grade two hurdle, i fancy the bang in form Nicky Henderson horse Mr.Gardener to run well in this decent contest. The ground was just too soft for him to show his true colours and he can make amends here at big odds. Roll Along has got to win the next, he beat Air Force One well, subsequently runner up in the Hennessy, that is very good form and he should be able to strike again.

In the last, I fancy Spartan Place, if he is fully wound up after a lengthy absence. He finished fourth behind Denman three years ago, and is still relatively unexposed so could be well handicapped here. 

In the Marathon at Exeter I fancy Ballygalley Bob to score. He finished second here over a similar long trip on testing ground. D. Elsworth is in great form of late and strike with another winner here.
