Dandy Nicholls is a master at sprint handicaps - especially on this track where he has an incredible record - so CAPONE, who had his first start for the yard when runner-up to today's opponent Below Zero at Yarmouth 11 days ago, will have been primed for this and gets the vote. Zero Money was having his first start over 6f since last May when narrowly beaten by Grissom at Pontefract where he was headed right on the line. He's certain to be prominent as is Brave Echo, another who has mainly raced over longer trips but couldn't be faulted with a fine run in a tough Ascot handicap last time. Lujeanie hails from a yard who do well in sprint handicaps and he's run really well over the minimum trip on this course recently. He rates a threat along with Whozthecat, who will be ideally suited by this very fast track.
