Verdict

SANDYMAN shaped much better than the bare result on just his second start in handicaps when fifth over C&D 2 weeks ago, upsides when bad mistake last. Remaining open to improvement, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run. There is strength in opposition though, with Ragmans Corner and St Denis's Well others fancied to be firmly in the mix.
