Verdict
Fizzy Lady is taken to beat Toronto Heights and Mount Vettore, with Docklands Blue worth a mention as well. Fizzy Lady was a beaten favourite on her Polytrack debut nine days ago, on what was her first outing since November. Without looking anything special, Barry Hills' filly should be capable of improving on that judged on her recent homework on the Faringdon Road, and she is the pick to small stakes. It is nice to see Peter Chapple-Hyam back in the thick of things after his foray in Hong Kong, and Toronto Heights should be noted if fit enough. A former stablemate of the selection, he shaped with a modicum of ability on turf, notably at Warwick last September, and had a taste of the sand when sixth at Southwell in October. Mount Vettore, a half-brother to four juvenile winners, played up and missed the break on his Nottingham maiden debut in October, but finished to good effect to be placed fifth. He could be anything and must definitely be noted in the betting market today, as should Soul Provider, given his trainer's exploits this winter. Nick Littmoden has got to bounce back to form sooner or later, so Docklands Blue is worth a small mention. For the winner though, we return to Fizzy Lady.
