Verdict

A few of these runners come into this sprint handicap after recent wins but we prefer four-timer seeking SUTTON VENY over Steelcut and Captain Carey. One from one at this track the pick has notched up a Kempton hat-trick over a three month period. He was an easy winner last time suggesting he is value for his new rating and the booking of Tom Queally suggests another big run is expected. Steelcut appears unpunished now switched back to the all-weather for capping a progressive run of form with victory last time so has to be considered while Captain Carey was expected to complete a hat-trick on is last run but he now has it to prove off this rating. Master Lightfoot is a course and distance winner who should be competitive at these weights and Bajan Tryst likes life on Polytrack and on the pick of his runs can go close off this rating. A wide-open looking race but Sutton Veny wasn't stopping last time so can make it four in a row.
