Sporting Times Sprint Handicap

Has been in fine form, successful on all-weather at Newcastle and Lingfield and worn down only in the shadow of the post at Wolverhampton last time. Another 4 lb rise to deal with now switched to turf.

Acquired plenty of experience at 2 yrs and returned with a fair showing in a 6f Kempton maiden a fortnight ago that has already produced a winner. Visor goes on for belated handicap debut and not ruled out.

Made it 3 wins from her last 3 visits to Southwell last month, again showing a good attitude. Slow starts away from that venue a potential concern now she makes her first outing on turf but she can clearly be a force if breaking on terms.

Won 5f novice on the polytrack here in October but struggled in handicaps next 2 starts 5 months apart and her mark still looks on the high side now switched to turf.

Returned to winning ways at Bath at the start of last month but not in the same form there 3 weeks ago and needs to get back on track.

Fair form in maiden/novice events between 6f and 1m for Adrian Keatley. On the back foot from the start on debut for James Owen at Windsor a fortnight ago but no surprise to see him fare much better here fitted with a hood.

On the up since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Bath in October while he run a good race in a big-field 6f handicap at Ascot last time. This test will probably be too sharp for him, however.

Again strong in the market on handicap debut/return at Windsor (6f) having had a breathing operation, but he was unable to make the improvement anticipated, looking a little short of pace. Jury out on him for now.

Successful 3 times last year but has made a very tame start for new connections, failing to beat another rival in a couple of 5f handicaps (behind Solar Invicible at Bath and Life After Love at Southwell).

Maiden who posted another respectable effort at Windsor (6f) a fortnight ago and could find a race as she continues to drop in the weights.
