End the jumps season on a high by backing ALTO ALTO (1.50) in Sandown’s opening race.
His trainer Chris Gordon is in red-hot form having banged in nine winners from just 19 runners so far this month. Alto Alto was one of those winners when he was successful in a Plumpton novices’ hurdle three weeks ago.
His jumping was excellent, he loved the faster ground and he looked like he would appreciate the stronger pace he is likely to get here. He could easily have been given more weight for this handicap debut so he looks overpriced at 11-1. Have 2pts each-way, with Sky Bet paying out on five places.
