Sandown Park Race 5

Davies Insurance Solutions Gala Stakes (Listed)

Stake: $90,497

A tricky Listed event. LION'S PRIDE (4) is trained by John and Thady Gosden. This unexposed four-year-old finished third behind subsequent G3 and G1 winners in the Listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton during April and a stiff 2000m could suit. SAVVY VICTORY (7) won this last season. May provide the main threat after running a big race to finish fourth on reappearance in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot. CHECKANDCHALLENGE (2) was just behind in sixth that day and must be respected as the top-rated performer in this line-up. Veteran REGAL REALITY (6) also holds winning form at this track. Something for the Multiples: AL MUBHIR (1)
