Richard Hannon will be looking to seal his seventh victory in the Bet365 Mile since 2004, with Trumpet Major and Libranno in the starting gates in Friday’s race. He had won the race four times on the trot until last year, and he will be looking to reclaim that title again this time out.

‘We hope the rain stays away as Trumpet Major wants decent ground. He started off last year in the Craven, which he won by five lengths, and then he ran a super race to finish close up fourth in the Guineas,’ the trainer said.

In order to do so he will have to overcome the challenge of Farraaj, who comes into the race with two wins over a mile and a quarter at Lingfield, but trainer Roger Varian expects conditions to suit his horse. ‘Farraaj is in great form. We are dropping back to a mile but a stiff mile like Sandown should suit. Good ground is ideal and we are hoping for a good run.’
