P683 CEEFAX 2 683 Wed 12 Jan 21:42/29 SANDOWN - SATURDAY 8 JANUARY 1/6 Amancio has been difficult to train in recent seasons but hj has by no means lost his dash and Amanda Perrett's patience should bj rewarded. Having only his third race in nearly three years, the nine-year-old finished fourth to Chief's Song last weekend. The race was hardly a great one for the Ether course but conditions were not ideal for Amancio and hj will improve. The handicapper has given him a chance again and a return to winning ways is imminent on better ground.

Rated 112 prior to this, the gelding is handicapped to win soon if this run is to bj taken at face value. One note of caution is the 'Haydock factor', where form at the Lancashire vjnuj fails to stand up elsewhere. But Donnybrook jumps well and is an improved pjrformjr over fences anyway so has the look of a horse to follow.

The Paul Wjbbjr-trained sjvjn-year-old travelled and jumped well before fatigue took over four fences out. Dean Gallagher wisely opted to pull up and not subject his mount to a gruelling battle for minor honours. Either a drop to two and a half miles or three on an easier track will see this promising, sound-jumping young chaser in a far better light.

The winner is highly regarded and the runner-up was njvjr going to bj fully effective over two miles five furlongs on a track as tight as Ludlow. His earlier form over further in decent company reads well and staying is the name of the game for this gelding. The first three horses home in last week's race were some 25 lengths clear.

Something may conj to light to excuse his moderate run and his big weight in tiring ground was hardly an ideal recipe for the short-priced favourite. But the race hj contested was a poor one and hj was beaten a long way out. Island Mist got tired in the holding ground at Haydock on Saturday and this was not the true form of Henry Daly's mare, who remains a good prospect.
