Verdict
SPARKY VIXEN is the call in division two of the handicap with Liteup My World and Wotatomboy likely to attract support in the market. The selection is exposed as modest though has run a couple of interesting races in defeat at Southwell; most notably when second last time out in a similar affair. Kelly Harrison keeps the ride. Liteup My World was well backed here in April. He may have needed that run so he shouldnt be too readily dismissed. Wotatomboy won at the course last month over seven furlongs but has experience over this longer trip. Mississippian started off his career with Aidan O'Brien and those days now seem a very long time ago. Tomintoul Star was disappointing when trained by Henry Cecil and Ruth Carr now has the job of trying to unlock her potential. Sparky Vixen is selected.
