Who To Follow At Sandown On Saturday - 23/04/22

Dan Skelton is looking to round off the season in style at Sandown sending a strong team of runners which is likely to see him in the winners enclosure.

In the opening race of the day Boombawn is not without a chance with handy 5lb claimer Jack Andrews taking some nice weight off.

One of Skelton's best chance of the day comes in the Grade One Celebration Chase with Nube Negra having his preferred good ground and goes well fresh.

In the bet365 Gold Cup Flegmatik has had some early money ahead of the marathon race and then in the Novices' Handicap Chase Beakstown still looks well handicapped.

Skelton has had six winners over the last fortnight from 39 runners which sees him pose a respectable 15% strike rate.

Harry Cobden has a handful of top class rides for the Champion trainer elect, with the partnership looking to end the season just how they started.

In the opener he rides Knappers Hill who is a Grade Two winning bumper horse and a three time winner over obstacles that will love the ground.

Cobden will be looking to get Saint Calvados back to winning ways having no won since 2019, but has gone well in some good Grade Ones.

Greaneteen is one of his big chances of the afternoon looking to land the race for a second season running and a third Grade One at the track.

He also rides the favourite in the bet365 Gold Cup with Enrilo looking to put the record right after losing the race in the stewards room last year.

Another nice ride for the young talent is Scaramanga in the Grade Two Select Hurdle with the gelding currently leading the market.

Other nice rides for the jockey include Flic Ou Voyou in the Novices' Handicap Chase and Samarrive in the Handicap Hurdle.

Cobden heads into the meeting sporting a strike rate of 31% for the last two weeks, managing nine winners from his last 29 rides.
