• Laureate Crown - Sandown - 1.50 race odds

Sandown 1.50 – Laureate Crown

Laureate Crown was gelded following his last run as a 2-y-o, and his work this spring had been great, so we were very confident he would win on his reappearance last month.  He's done well since then as well, he's a big, powerful strong horse who will appreciate all the watering that's taken place here for the jumps card here on Saturday, so this has been an obvious target since Wolverhampton.

I think he is probably best going around a bend like he will be here, we're delighted to have Oisin Murphy booked to ride again, and the horse is in good shape, so we're looking forward to seeing how he gets on here.
