In depth
Verdict
This is a fairly dire sprint handicap and we recommend keeping stakes to a minimum, but from stall 18 and with a decent claimer aboard One Way Ticket looks by far the most reliable proposition, whilst Horizon Hill and Irma La Douce make most appeal of the others. The latter is drawn in stall 20 and so should get close to the far rail. Mick Channon's filly has bits and pieces of form which give her claims. Horizon Hill makes a quick reappearance after a disappointing run at Doncaster, but can be given decent claims on some of his earlier form. Rare Destiny in a first time visor appeals most of those drawn low , but we'll give One Way Ticket a tentative vote here. Milton Bradley's colt proved effective at six furlongs on his latest start, finishing third at Chepstow. He is a most consistent type who looks hard to keep out of the frame at least.
