Sands Crooner, City For Conquest and Littledodayno are the leading lights in this sprint handicap to open the card and the vote is given to Sands Crooner. The selection is fit from a winter campaign on the all-weather and he was not given a hard race when beating Pauvic at Lingfield last time. He still looks to be on a fair mark, he goes well for today¿s pilot and from a reasonable draw he should take all the beating. City For Conquest rates the main danger as this filly was returning from a winter break when narrowly beating Phinerine at Wolverhampton last time. She overcame a wide draw to score that day , and she is not ideally drawn again today but her yard is in good form and she is respected. Littledodayno is interesting as she has shown some signs of ability and she is lightly-raced. She was disappointing at Lingfield last time but she does have a good draw today and is one to note in the market. Killarney Beauty is a likeable filly but she has been off the track since October and may just need the run today, and for the winner we will stick with the fit and in-form Sands Crooner.
