Verdict
If fit enough after an absence, Lisianski would have solid claims in this five furlong handicap but it is a big if and we would rather look elsewhere. Linda Perrett has her string in good form at present as Friar Tuck showed when gaining a well deserved success at Redcar recently, however, a 7lb rise for that looks harsh and with the seven-year-old dropping back in trip as well others are preferred. Sprinters trained by David Nicholls are always worthy of a second look and it would be no surprise to see old Zuhair bounce back to form in this company but the TEAMtalk selection has to be Paddywack. Trained by David Chapman, who is also a man to fear where sprinters are concerned, the five-year-old has been showing signs of a revival recently but has still slipped to an attractive mark. He looks the value. Penny Ha'penny has been raised considerably for winning a weak maiden last time and is best left alone.
