Corridor Creeper, runner-up to Caribbean Coral in last Friday's Gosforth Park Cup at Newcastle, is fancied to go one better at Sandown tomorrow.

Milton Bradley's consistent sprinter goes for the £14,000 Friends of Jonathan Cooper Rated Handicap over his best distance of five furlongs.

Corridor Creeper is overdue a winning turn. Prior to going down by threequarters of a length to Caribbean Coral on ground slower than ideal, he ran fine races in defeat at Musselburgh and Epsom, and also in the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot, where he found the six furlongs stretching his stamina.

Everything looks right for Corridor Creeper to deliver the goods tomorrow and, in Darryll Holland, he has a top class rider on board.

Bunditten is napped to emerge triumphant in the £25,000 Dragon Stakes.

Andrew Reid's two-year-old ran a cracking race in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot to finish fourth. A very speedy filly, Bunditten can get back in the winning groove in this Listed event.

Shahzan House, in the frame in all his three starts this season, can be rewarded for his consistency in the £30,000 Action Online Casino Summer Handicap.

Philip Robinson takes the mount on the Michael Jarvis-trained five year old, the same duo being responsible for hot favourite Rakti in Saturday's Coral Eclipse Stakes on the same course.

Interesting newcomer Rode to Heaven (3.45) and the talented Comfy (4.20), who was unlucky at Royal Ascot last time, are two others to note on tomorrow's programme.

Beverley's evening meeting starts with the Wellbeing Novice Stakes over five furlongs, which is the target for the potentially high class Imperial Sound.

David Barron's colt made a big impression when beating several previous winners over this course and distance on his debut a fortnight ago.

Better things are surely to come from Imperial Sound, who will again have the services of Seb Sanders.

Tim Easterby's Tedstale, who showed he was returning to form when staying on strongly into third place in last week's Carlisle Bell, is worthy of a second look in the £10,000 Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Pudding Handicap, the feature race on the card.

Life Is Beautiful will not be short of supporters in the Ferguson Fawcett Arms Handicap.

The five-year-old is a multiple winner on this course and was most recently successful here ten days ago. Life Is Beautiful is trained, between Malton and York, by Bill Tinning, who sent out Compton Plume to score at Catterick yesterday.
