Sam James: “He has loads of ability and hopefully can go close on Saturday”

Saturday we’re off to Sandown, which is a track I haven’t ridden at many times before. I rode a winner yesterday to add to a couple earlier in the week, so hopefully I can keep that form going.

Saturday

14:25 Sandown

Karle Burke sends Holloway Boy here off the back of a really good run at Royal Ascot where he was unlucky not to win. He’s not the easiest horse to ride. I’ll need to drop in and find cover then produce him late. It’s just the way he needs to be ridden so he doesn’t do too much early on in a race. He has loads of ability and hopefully can go close on Saturday.

16:12 Sandown

I also ride The Hun for Karl Burke on Saturday. He’s been unlucky on his last two starts despite running well. I rode him at Chester where he finished second at the May Festival and then Callum Rodriguez rode him the last day to finish second in a Dead Heat at Redcar. He’ll have the blinkers on and after knocking at the door it would be nice to see him win here. I’m confident he’ll run a nice race.

Have a good weekend everyone!
