Jumps Finale Day at Sandown starts with a competitive and open renewal of this championship final. KIENTZHEIM (8) and SORCELEUR (9) both ran in the same Southwell novices hurdle eleven days ago with only a nose splitting the pair. The former missed out on that occasion however did show plenty of promise prior including a Kempton maiden hurdle success three outings back so is a serious player while the latter brings course experience and is a three-time winner rating a big chance. SERIOUS CHALLENGE (2) seeks a four-timer after a 2.25L victory in the aforementioned Southwell event. Holds appeal. NARDARAN (15) maintains a progressive profile. Found success by 11L at Taunton seventeen days ago. Might feature. HMS PRESIDENT (4) and ST PANCRAS (5) warrant a second look.
