De Kock eyes Sandown prize

Top international trainer Mike de Kock will unleash the first of his small British string at Sandown on Thursday in the Betfair Henry II Stakes.

The South African has based himself in Newmarket for the summer with the likes of Dubai Sheema Classic winner Sun Classique and Archipenko, who claimed the QE II Cup in Hong Kong, being readied for the top European Group Ones.
