Morning, one and all. Very nice racing today with the highlight being a couple of Listed affairs. In one of these I really like PENITENT (3.55 Sandown Park) and earlier this morn took the above mentioned 9/4. On official marks the old boy has 9 pounds+ in hand on his rivals and his claims can be enhanced further when you consider that his form figures are -211152 when the form is Soft or worse (these figures include a Lincoln Handicap, Group 2 and a Listed successes plus a 2nd in a Group 1 at Longchamp last October). He also loves Sandown Park and is 2/2 at the venue â this race in 2010 and a Group 2 heat. Looking at Penitentâs rivals, Wentworth apart, they appear badly out of form whilst Wentworth himself, if you break his form down, has only won a handicap off 98 after being beaten in 3 similar heats (2 of which were off lower marks). Penitent does have a poor run last time to overcome but prior to that he ran very decent races in the Diomed Stakes (beaten by subsequent Group 2 winner Gregorian when conceding 5 pounds) and the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot. I think he will oblige this afternoon.

Meanwhile, at Kempton Park this eve I would be shocked if Sir Michaelâs PSYCHOMETRY (7.45) didnât shed her maiden tag. Old girl Radiatorâs gallops companion has finished runner-up in both her races to date but should be too classy here.

Good luck, pilgrims.
