3.15 SANDOWN 10F GORDON RICHARDS STAKES GROUP THREE:
8 runners go to post for 10 furlong group 3 Gordon Richard stakes for 4-Y-0 + .This looks decent group 3 contest, with heavy showers forecast the ground is likely to be on soft side .The three main contenders look to be Al Keezem ,Ektihaam & Thomas Chippendale .
AL KEEZEM :Useful performer,not been out of first two in last seven starts.Won group two jockey club stakes at Newmarket last season on his only start in May.But then missed the rest of the season with fractured pelvis .Obvious claims if fully fit .
EKTIHAAM : Won 10 furlong conditions race at Newbury last season .Also finished good second in group two Dante stakes at York .Slightly disappointing when beaten favourite in 10 furlong listed race at Goodwood on final start last season .
THOMAS CHIPPENDALE : Won twice last season both on soft ground, including group two King Edward V11 stakes at Royal Ascot beating stable companion Noble Mission .Looked non stayer in St Leger in September .
VERDICT : Al Keezem would be difficult to beat if can reproduce the form of last season's win in Jockey club stakes at Newmarket ,though having suffered fractured pelvis there has to be big question mark on his fitness here .
THOMAS CHIPPENDALE looks the one to beat after winning group two King Edward V11 stakes last year at Royal Ascot .Will be suited by this shorter trip and any rain would be major bonus.Odds around 7-2 looks fair value .
