Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap

Off time: 19:18 | Winning time: 59.32s

(6)

Rosario⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R A Teal| OR: 89| D

15/2

Useful handicapper who broke on terms for a change when third in last season's Portland and while not at his best either start this season, he could be dangerous dropping into this grade for the first time with a pace scenario to suit.

Form: 3203-68

(9)

Glamorous Breeze^p³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Gina Mangan| T: C Mason| OR: 89| CD

6/1

Strong-travelling mare who looked as good as ever when a close third at Goodwood on return. That form has taken a few knocks, however, she has a fine record at this track and could have another big performance in her.

Form: 55913-3

(7)

Desert Cop^p1²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: George Baker| OR: 86| D

25/1

Extended a long losing run when fifth of 7 in a 6f course handicap last time. Should benefit from the drop in grade/likely strong pace back over a sharp 5f, though, with the addition of first-time cheekpieces unlikely to harm, either.

Form: 357305

Bassenthwaite¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 92| D

28/1

Having posted some solid winning form in a progressive juvenile season, he shaped better than the beaten distance in a fairly useful event at Newcastle (6f) in January. Drop back in trip expected to suit this low-mileage sprinter and cannot be discounted if good yard has him ready to roll.

Form: 65141-0

(4)

Dream Composer^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: A W Carroll| OR: 83| D

6/1

Backed up his stable debut/reappearance success with an eye-catching fourth (neck behind Glamorous Breeze) at Goodwood before shaping better than the beaten distance suggests in the Epsom Dash, and he's expected to be rattling home late.

Form: 789-147

(5)

Almaty Star^v¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 82| D

28/1

Burned off his 5 rivals when capitalising on a lower turf mark at Yarmouth in April. Subsequently well beaten in the Epsom Dash, though soft ground may have blunted his speed, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him make a bold bid with conditions to suit.

Form: 4-24210

(2)

Mesaafi^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Burdon| OR: 81| CD

4/1

Stepped up on his strong Ascot fourth when coming from off the pace to land a C&D handicap (and first turf success) last time. Pitched into a better race but a 2 lb rise looks more than fair, and he could be seen to good effect under similar tactics here.

Form: 44-0841

(1)

Rhythm N Hooves^p¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 81| D

10/3

Finished third in a better-quality handicap over C&D last month prior to a more-than-forgivable effort in the Epsom Dash last time, and he could be very interesting now 6 lb lower than when successful in this grade under the returning Billy Loughnane last summer.

Form: 445430

(3)

Nogo's Dream^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes| OR: 78| CD

10/3

Quirky sort who has Oisin Murphy back aboard for the first time since winning this race off a 1 lb higher mark last year, and while this looks a deeper renewal, he continued a fine run of recent form when chasing home a well-ridden winner at Sandown on his latest start.

Form: 5-26252

Forecasts

Rhythm N Hooves (10/3), Nogo's Dream (10/3), Mesaafi (4/1), Dream Composer (6/1), Glamorous Breeze (6/1), Rosario (15/2), Desert Cop (25/1), Almaty Star (28/1), Bassenthwaite (28/1)

An extremely tight handicap that could set up for the closers, and it may be worth taking a chance on ROSARIO, who's capable of making an immediate impact down in grade, provided he can again break on terms. A big run is expected from both Rhythm N Hooves and Dream Composer, while strong-travelling Glamorous Breeze shouldn't be ruled out, either.
