Racing: HYPERION'S TV TIPS

SANDOWN

2.05: Kieren Fallon has predicted a "big future" for Henry Cecil's classic prospect BALLET MASTER. Recent workouts suggest the impressive Yarmouth maiden winner is unlikely to go the way of Killer Instinct.

2.35: MOUNT HOLLY is 8lb out of the handicap but still attracts at the 12-1 widely available in morning lists. This five-year-old finished fourth at Doncaster four weeks ago, under 3 lengths behind the winner that day, Bomb Alaska. The latter reappeared at Newbury last Saturday and, defying a 5lb rise in the handicap, beat another competitive field. Kamil Mahdi's horse is a tough customer and can further boost the value of the Doncaster form.

3.10: 2,000 Guineas fifth HAAMI was beaten at 4-9 over this course and distance during his lean spell last summer, but looked right back to his best on his final start of 1998 and his first of 1999. In the latter race, the Earl Of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket last week, he finished in front of both Handsome Ridge and Lear Spear, and there is no reason why he should not do so again. Bigger threats may come from the unexposed Henry Cecil- trained On The Ridge and Almushtarak, who falls just short of the top class but was an impressive five-length winner of this Group 2 on soft ground last year.

3.40: It is worth taking a chance on the fitness of Kieren Fallon's mount CARISBROOKE who looked a promising stayer on his three outings in 1997, which included beating the smart Sabadilla by five lengths in a Kempton maiden. Bridie's Pride and Fast Forward Fred are both game and reliable, but could find that Carisbrooke is a blot on the handicap. Toby Balding's stable is in sparkling form just now but his representative here, Sea Freedom, has a very poor wins-to-runs strike-rate.
