In depth
Verdict
A competitive sprint handicap with Blue Knight, Enjoy The Buzz, Aintnecessarliyso and Only If I Laugh posing as the main dangers but a tentative vote goes to the last named. A winner by a neck at Yarmouth last timeout when beating Blue Knight who re-opposes and a draw that wont hinder his chances Only If I Laugh should be worth siding with again. Milton Bradley is the King Of handicap sprints and is double handed with Aintnecessarilyso and Enjoy The Buzz with the latter possibly being the main stable charge. Both horses have been in fine form this season and are both worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Only If I Laugh.
