Make it third time lucky in the Unibet Veterans’ Chase Final for SIR IVAN (3.00) who has finished third in this popular Sandown contest in each of the last two years.
He travelled really smoothly in this race 12 months ago but the heavy ground just found him out in the final climb to the line when unable to cope with Prime Venture’s finishing surge.
The ground shouldn’t be quite as testing this time and he arrives for a third crack at this valuable prize having run two sound races this season.
