Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap

Off time: 15:21 | Winning time: 59.50s

(3)

Jawwaal^p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Dods| OR: 93| D

4/1

Bit below form seventh of 17 in handicap (11/1) at York (5f, good) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he'll be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 1100-77

(6)

Lihou²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 90| D

10/1

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to soft, 4/1) 25 days ago. Should give a good account, albeit without being quite good enough.

Form: 322244

(2)

Many A Star²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: B J Meehan| OR: 85| BF

7/4

Bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap (9/2) at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Needs to raise his game.

Form: 2165-30

(5)

Spoof⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: C Hills| OR: 85| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at York (5f, soft, 40/1) 9 days ago. 1 lb lower now and he should be in the thick of things.

Form: 1117-66

(7)

Pettochside¹⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 8-12| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 84| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 11/4, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Bath (5f, soft) 10 days ago, staying on well. Clearly in good form, but this is tougher up 6 lb.

Form: 171-101

(1)

Rose Hip³³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 82| D

12/1

4¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Pettochside in handicap (9/1) at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Needs to get back on track, but definite chance if able to do so.

Form: 2152-07

(4)

Just Glamorous²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 78| D

11/1

5/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 23 days ago, going off too hard. Minor place money may be the best she can hope for.

Form: 7378-44

(8)

Newyorkstateofmind^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: J F Egan| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 77| D

14/1

Good second of 6 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm, 9/2) 28 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Should give it a good shot.

Form: 245-26D

Forecasts

Many A Star (7/4), Jawwaal (4/1), Spoof (9/2), Lihou (10/1), Just Glamorous (11/1), Pettochside (11/1), Rose Hip (12/1), Newyorkstateofmind (14/1)

JAWWAAL stepped up on his reappearance effort when seventh in a big-field York handicap 18 days ago, and he makes plenty of appeal in this less competitive race off a 2 lb lower mark. The veteran Pettochside is clearly in good nick, but dual C&D winner Spoof and Newyorkstateofmind, who was first past the post at Bath last time, rate the main dangers.
