13:25 - Sole Solution (each-way) @ 4/1

Nine horses are set to face the starter in Sandown's Class 3 2m4f Novices' Handicap Hurdle on Saturday afternoon (1.25), and Venetia Williams' representative Sole Solution should be right in the mix after the last.

Williams went 5-22 (23%) with her runners in the past fortnight.

The selection won both his starts in bumpers at Bangor and Ffos Las in November 2022 and January 2023 and was returning from a lengthy absence when well held over an inadequate trip on his hurdling debut back at Bangor-on-Dee in November last year.

On his next start, he showed much improved form when second over an extended 2m4f at Leicester, getting within 14 lengths of Sixmilebridge, who has since shown himself to be one of the best novice hurdlers in the country, and is rated 142.

Sole Solution ran out a comfortable winner of an extended 2m5f novice hurdle at Hereford 17 days ago and is now entering handicaps from a mark of 114.

Additionally, he is extremely likely to handle the heavy ground better than most of his opponents and the fact that he is a strong stayer over this 2m4f distance can only be of assistance with the Sandown hill to climb.

The Sans Frontieres gelding is 3-4 on a combination of soft and heavy ground and Charlie Deutsch is continuing in the saddle.

14:00 - Etalon @ 9/4

Six horses are scheduled to line up for the Class 2 extended 1m7f Handicap Chase (2.00) and Dan Skelton's representative Etalon is considered capable of successfully bouncing back from unseating his rider Harry Skelton at the seventh fence at Windsor 13 days ago.

The selection is 4-6 on soft ground, 4-9 over this distance, 4-13 under Harry Skelton and 2-4 at this time of year.

Off 135, he is rated 4lb higher than when winning over this course and distance in this month last year, but a reproduction of the 143 Racing Post Rating (RPR) he registered on that occasion may suffice.

14:35 - Jango Baie @ 10/11

Finally, Nicky Henderson's representative Jango Baie is the choice for the feature Grade 1 2m4f Scilly Isles Novices' Chase (2.35).

Henderson is 2-6 in this race since 2015 thanks to Top Notch (2017 and Terrefort (2018).

The selection is 2-4 on soft ground and the same under Nico de Boinville.

He achieved a high RPR of 157 when making a comfortable winning debut over regulation fences at Cheltenham in December and that form sets the standard against his three opponents here.
