In-Play Hints: Whisper is quietly fancied

Timeform look at two interesting handicaps at Sandown

Timeform examine the pace angles in two ultra-competitive handicap hurdles at Sandown on Saturday...

Race: 14:05 Sandown- 2 1/2m Handicap Hurdle

Pace Forecast: Strongly contested.

Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and King Of The Wolds and The Italian Yob are two who could suffer: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Edmund Kean and Whisper are two who may benefit.

Individual Price Hint: Edmund Kean has traded at more than 2 times BSP twice when winning during its last 3 starts.

Race: 15:15 Sandown- 2m 110yds Handicap Hurdle

Pace Forecast: Weakly contested.

Specific Pace Hint: Minella Definitely is the only confirmed pace-forcer. Pine Creek has been most forwardly placed in recent starts of those in the front half of the betting forecast: Tanerko Emery has been furthest from the pace in recent starts of the better-fancied horses.

Individual Price Hint: Barizan traded at more than 10 times BSP and 2 times BSP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts: Rockawango traded at 10% or less of BSP twice and 25% or less of BSP on 3 of its last 3 starts.

Short Priced Hint: Mr Mole traded at a high of 2.52 and BSP of 2.52 when winning last time, a race in which it raced in mid-field and travelled strongly early on.
