Walter Swinburn has been firing with all cylinders of late and can take this handicap with SHARP BULLET while both Bajan Tryst and Desert Strike are both worth noting. The selection won nicely on his debut as a two year old last August at Sandown and the form has worked out well. His trainer has had five winners from twenty eight runners in the past fortnight so his team of horses are obviously in good spirits at the moment. Sharp Bullet looks potentially well handicapped and we feel there is plenty more to come in the future. Bajan Tryst showed real promise last year and confirmed that promise by winning on his return to the track at Lingfield on the all weather. He runs off a fair enough mark on his handicap debut so has to be respected. As does Desert Strike who ran with promise last year and has scored twice on the all weather at Great Leighs during the winter. He comes into the a race having had a break and any support in the market should be noted. But for the winner we return to Sharp Bullet.
