Verdict

A superb sprint handicap and once again the draw will play a major role. Harry Up is in the one box so has to be respected but we think it may rest between Foursquare and Johnny Parkes with the latter just edging the vote. Linda Ramsden's gelding has improved over the winter, displaying tremendous speed to easily beat today's rival Demolition Molly at Nottingham . With the runner up giving the form a boost with a victory at Southwell, he must be in with a great chance of adding to that success. Foursquare also comes here on the back of a recent victory having shown a tremendous burst of speed to beat Piccolo Prince by a very easy three lengths, he must enter calculations. Harry Up , as well as having the plum draw, has been placed in two decent races at Leicester and Haydock and is certain to be thereabouts. Of the rest there is a touch of class about Incise, but the eleven berth may be a problem. A tough race to call be we will take a chance on Johnny Parkes.
