Hwfa Williams - Founder Of Sandown Park Handicap Stakes

Elan d'Or showed his quality with back-to-back wins three and four starts back, and returns in good order just 19 days later with going experience in his favour; a placed effort last time out keeps him in the picture, and on a rating of 91 he heads this three-runner field.

Twice runner-up in his last two starts, Interstate arrives here on a sharp 14-day turnaround with distance and going experience in his favour — a consistent threat. The main risk is that our rating of 73 suggests he may be flattered by his official mark.

Three times placed in his last five starts, Edwin Hubble returns on a sharp 12-day turnaround having run over today's trip and going, and a rating of 85 makes him a leading threat at 127 lb — though he remains winless in recent starts, which is the concern.
