FIFTY NIFTY looked good when making a winning debut at Yarmouth in April and it was a competitive Doncaster novice in which he finished a very respectable fifth next time. Armed with potential now venturing down the handicap route, this unexposed 3-y-o makes plenty of appeal. Twirling and Sterling Knight were both down the field in Royal Ascot handicaps but better can be expected here, while Alzahir and Urban Sprawl are others to consider.
