Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap

Took advantage of reduced mark when scoring at Newmarket (6f) last month and followed up, off 4 lb higher, in 15-runner handicap at Haydock (6f, good) since. Raised further 6 lb since but looks sure to go well again.

Back from 7 months off when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is one for shortlist.

C&D winner. 16/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 61 days ago, slowly away. Others look better treated.

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Fourth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm). Off 107 days. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable seventh of 22 in handicap at York (7f, firm, 9/1) 51 days ago. Not out of things.

Winner at Southwell in March. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 8/1) 40 days ago. Something to find on form.

Course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 5/1) 23 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Hooded for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Edward Bethell when ninth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Sandown (5f, good) 38 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes limited appeal.

Found improvement when taking 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and another bold bid is anticipated.

Winner at Bath in May. 7/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Each-way claims.
