Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap

Off time: 19:21 | Winning time: 1m 10.62s

Rohaan⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans| OR: 102| D

9/1

Ten wins from 37 Flat runs. 14/1, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 58 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down to his last winning mark but he seems ideally suited to the hustle and bustle of big-field scenarios.

Form: 710-545

Aramis Grey²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 96| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 14 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 22/1) 23 days ago. Each-way chance.

Form: 232-282

(6)

Wallop⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 92| D

10/1

Tenth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 18/1) 58 days ago and he's likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 352/1-00

Under The Twilight¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Davies| T: M Blake| OR: 89| CD

11/1

C&D winner in April. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 9/1) 18 days ago. Probably a shade too high in the weights for now.

Form: 251-157

(7)

Haymaker²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 88| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, just holding on. 3 lb rise tolerable but another step forward will be needed if he's to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 905-211

(5)

Katey Kontent¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 88| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at York (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Very much of interest off the same mark back here.

Form: 3432-14

(2)

Shagraan¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 94| CD

5/4

C&D winner. 6/1, creditable fifth of 28 in handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Back up in trip and he's a huge player.

Form: 265-235

(8)

Amazonian Dream¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 84| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 13/2, respectable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Another bold show on the cards.

Form: 31-7713

Forecasts

Shagraan (5/4), Katey Kontent (11/2), Amazonian Dream (7/1), Haymaker (9/1), Rohaan (9/1), Wallop (10/1), Under The Twilight (11/1), Aramis Grey (14/1)

This looks ripe for the 3-y-o SHAGRAAN, who has shaped well on each of his three starts for this yard, not least when fifth in a big-field 5f Royal Ascot handicap recently. He is likely to appreciate this step back up in trip. Amazonian Dream is in good form and should be on the premises once again, while Katey Kontent is also strongly considered. Haymaker is bound to attract support in his hat-trick bid but this demands a clear personal-best from Hughie Morrison's charge.
