Sandown - Saturday 30th August

14:25, BetMGM Atalanta Stakes

Flight 9/1, 1pt each-way (4 places)

Ollie Sangster's Flight enjoyed her only win to date at this track last year and returns from a mid-season break with conditions in her favour. Stall 13 may be a slight negative but she'll enjoy the recent rain in Esher and showed she's a filly of class when finishing 2nd in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket in the Spring. She perhaps found things happening all to quick at Royal Ascot last time but the ground was faster than ideal and she was backing up after 2 big runs in Classics. The conditions of this race suit and I expect her to be bang there.

Alpha Crucis 9/1, 1pt each-way (4 places)

I expected Gary Moore's 5 year old to run well at Glorious Goodwood but he never got into the race from a bad position and now finds himself a pound lower. He is one who'll relish the cut in the ground and a stiffer track. He's still competitively weighted and is still lightly raced this year.
