2026 Sandy Lane Stakes Betting Tips
Venetian Sun is the interesting runner in the field when it comes to the Sandy Lane Stakes. Karl Burke saddles a horse that has enjoyed some notable wins in a stellar career thus far. She won the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot back in June 2025 when scoring by a length and a half. Then came a July success at Newmarket in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes.
Better was to come at Deauville in August, with the 29/10 chance able to score in the Sumbe Prix Morny, with the horse able to fend off favourite Gstaad. These have all been high quality performances and there was then a third-placed effort at the Curragh in the Moyglare Stud Stakes over seven furlongs.
The horse however flattered to deceive when landing eleventh out of nineteen in the more recent 1,000 Guineas. The runner was six lengths off the pace, although her previous efforts means that we can be fairly confident that the horse can win here. Coppull and Division are other contenders at a similar price worthy of consideration.
The former won for Clive Cox on his debut and there was an early May success at Ascot. The 7/2 poke won by a neck and that came after a bright third-placed effort at Newmarket. Division was able to land three straight wins for William Haggas, with the horse running Coppull close at Ascot so we can expect them to be near each other again.
