Military Order heads to the 19:35 race at Sandown with an impressive profile and a strong chance to take the win. At 5 years old, he's shown some serious form recently, coming off a win and showing consistently good results over the last 720 days, boasting a 50% strike rate in distance races. Trained by the esteemed C Appleby and ridden by W Buick, this gelding benefits from a solid jockey-trainer combo that's been enjoying a 36% success rate over their last 500 race days. Military Order's current live price of 5.5 offers value in a field where he's clearly prepared to shine on the 'Good' going of the course. Ombudsman, another promising contender in this event, is listed with a shorter odds of 3.75 as a live price, suggesting a tighter competition. While less prolific recently compared to Military Order, Ombudsman, also trained by a top-tier team (J & T Gosden), has shown capability especially over the last two years where he held a 100% strike rate in distance races. R L Moore, taking the reins, adds another layer of expertise, but it will be intriguing to see if he can topple our top pick. Rounding out the top three predictions, Enfjaar comes with a live price of 7 and might hold a surprise given the jockey-trainer statistics. While the horse itself has been less dominant, the combination of R Varian and Jim Crowley has shown flashes of brilliance. With a 100% strike rate in their last 60 combined outings, they could really bring a challenge to the frontrunners. Military Order is the clear favourite according to our bespoke prediction model. With solid backing in terms of form, team, and statistics, he's the horse to bet on in the exciting Race 4 Star Sports Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown. Don’t put your house on it, but maybe a small flutter wouldn’t go amiss. Remember folks, bet responsibly and good luck!
