The day’s feature is a competitive sprint and wide-open, though the older horses should have the measure of the three-year-olds. Bossipop got back to winning ways at Ripon and is only 4lb higher. Stablemate Look Out Louis is worth a market check with his yard in good nick and Victory Angel has found some form again for the switch to Rebecca Bastiman while Broken Spear has been slowly coming to hand. ABEL HANDY wasn’t really striding out on quicker going last time at Doncaster and deserves a chance to recoup losses being better off at the weights than when narrowly beaten by Bossipop the time before.
