Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap

Landed a valuable sales race at Newmarket on final start last term but yet to fire in listed company this season and remains to be seen if switch to handicapping revives his fortunes.

Campaigned in pattern company following Salisbury debut success at 2 yrs, largely acquitting himself well. Found improvement switched to handicaps when good third of 11 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago and is one for the shortlist.

Maiden/novice winner last summer but limitations exposed at a higher level thereafter and has something to prove sent handicapping first time up here. Gelded since last run.

Off the mark at Yarmouth in October and returned with creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Sandown (5f, good) 38 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

Ayr maiden winner early last season who was an excellent sixth in Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot next time. However, lightly raced and below that level since, including on debut for new yard at York last month.

Dual winner last term who ended campaign with good fifth in Group 3 Sirenia at Kempton (6f) in September. Finished well beaten on return at Newmarket in April but should be straighter for that run.

Bolted up in 6f Windsor novice last June but didn't improve as might have been expected in his 3 subsequent starts and made little impact on Newbury reappearance in April. Blinkers/tongue strap on first time.

Improved from his debut to get off the mark with plenty in hand at Ripon (6f) in April and followed up in 10-runner novice at Doncaster (6f, good) 16 days ago. Should have more to offer on handicap debut.

Plenty of promise on turf last summer before landing the odds on all-weather debut at Chelmsford in October. Just respectable sixth on Kempton return in March, however, and others more appealing.

Beverley maiden winner over 5f last summer and bettered that form when a close second in a 6f nursery at the York Ebor meeting. Not seen to best effect at Hamilton latest and could be a player here.
