300 Sandown-Red Devil Star is unexposed over fences after just 2 starts and its latest run saw it post an improving rating.
With conditions ideal,im surprised it isnt favourite.
Although it hails from a small stable,they have a very good 28% strike rate when they have horses in the front 3 in the betting like this particular race.
Gores Island currently heads the market after a decent seasonal reappearance but it needs to better last seasons best if its to trouble the selection.
The main danger for me is Greywell Boy,who returns after over 500 days but makes its debut for the Harry Fry stable.Im sure it will turn up fit but whether its the same horse as before remains to be seen.If it is then its a big runner here.
Back Red Devil Star 12pts at 4.3 at Stan James-3rd(-12pts)Too many mistakes over the fences.

335 Sandown-Some improving types on show here but none appeal more than Major Mac.
Its only had 3 runs but stands out on my figures on its all the way win last time out.
That was over further but could actually prove better back in trip.It should be clear favourite.
That honour goes to Utility and although I respect the early money from this stable,its got to find some improvement if the selection runs its race.
Vivas and Vocaliser have place chances.
Back Major Mac 9pts at 5.5 at various bookies-UP(-9pts)Tanked into the race but found nothing(DT-21pts)
