Compared to some weekends, this one is a tad quiet on the quality front, with a brace of Group 3 contests at Sandown plus the Listed Beverley Bullet taking place on the Westwood, the highlights.

At Sandown in the Candy Kittens Solario Stakes a fascinating runner is Fantastic Moon who I saw make a winning debut at Newmarket just over three weeks ago.

Trained by Jeremy Noseda, it was interesting the trainer kicked him off in Novice company rather than go for a straight forward maiden.

Fantastic Moon holds four entries in Group 1 company and it will be a surprise if he doesn't go very close this afternoon under William Buick, who continues to ride at the very top of his game.

I must admit that Beverley is the meeting I'm looking forward to the most, especially their feature that comes up at 4.15.

It looks a wide-open renewal and it will be interesting to see how they bet. I think, and at a big price, Tim Easterby's Confessional can go well but slight preference is for Masamah who comes from the in-form stable of Kevin Ryan.

He's all about speed and this represents a drop in class after finishing close up in the Nunthorpe at York just over a week ago.

Jamie Spencer is back on board the grey and he has been the key to him in the past.

Earlier in the afternoon Mark Johnston has a fine chance of another winner with the progressive three-year-old Universal in the 3.15.

Since joining the Middleham trainer, Universal is two from three and looks a few steps ahead of the handicapper.

Punters aren't going to get rich backing him but a winner is a winner.
