Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap

Stepped up on any of his form in Italy when making a winning start for Marco Botti in 5f Southwell handicap in March. Caught wider than ideal both starts since and it's feasible he'll make more of an impact now in cheekpieces (turf winner in Italy).

Improved on all-weather in recent months, completing a hat-trick last autumn and posting good runner-up efforts on his first 3 outings this season. Found his progression stalling somewhat when fifth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 38 days ago, so needs to get back on track.

Notched 2 C&D wins at this time last year and arrives here in good form once again, having scored at Bath in May prior to finishing runner-up in another C&D contest 3 weeks ago. Shortlisted.

Thrived when winning 5 times at 5f in 2025, including at Newmarket in October. Not seen to best effect on any of his 3 starts so far this year (unable to last home under positive tactics last time) and the handicapper is already beginning to relent so he's certainly not one to write off.

Seven-time turf winner is back on a workable mark following a stint on the all-weather (0-10), but looked rusty despite having conditions when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (5f, good) 18 days ago. Softer conditions here will suit but races from 3 lb out of the weights.

Looked useful when making a winning debut at Ascot last May but comfortably held in the Queen Mary back there 6 weeks later (for Ralph Beckett). Would've pushed the winner close granted a cleaner passage when third of 8 in novice at Southwell (5f) on April's return and her opening mark looks fair.
