In depth
Verdict
Fizzy Lizzy gave her stable a rare winner two days ago, and in the belief that lightning can strike twice, she is selected to follow up at the expense of Dexileos, Elms Schoolboy and Midmaar. Trainer Ted Haynes had gone 432 days without a winner until Fizzy Lizzy came up trumps over the course-and-distance two days ago, and he immediately nominated today's contest for his mare who evidently shows plenty of ability at home. It has to be said that she beat Margaret's Dream with a bit to spare, and a similar effort again under Robbie Fitzpatrick may be enough. Dexileos is hard to predict but posted a couple of good efforts at Lingfield in February and it would be no surprise if he were to be involved, but Elms Schoolboy needs to show more here than when turning up in the past. Midmaar has been very lightly raced over the past 12 months, and should be noted if supported on this first visit to Dunstal Park, but in any case we prefer the claims of Fizzy Lizzy who can make it an even better week for her Wiltshire-based trainer.
