Verdict

A tough sprint handicap can go to Flying Bantam, who edges preference over Artie, Highland Warrior and his stablemate Harrison's Flyer, who are all capable of making this a real test. Harrison's Flyer rounded off last season in fine style, notching a hat-trick of wins on a variety of tracks. However, he has fallen short of the mark when he has been tried beyond the minimum trip on several occasions and he now has a little to prove. Highland Warrior has long threatened to win a race again and cannot confidently be ruled out of a bold show today. However, is an habitual slow starter and has often ruined his chance by giving himself too much ground to make up near the finish. Therefore, it may be the best policy to play each-way with him if the indications from the betting ring suggest that he is fired up for this. Artie also has to be placed on the shortlist as he is still quite well treated on the pick of his form. Tim Easterby's charge acts well on the predicted going and he will not go down without a fight if he hits the gates running. However, preference goes to Flying Bantam, whose rider takes a very handy 7lb off his back. The partnership got on well together when they teamed up over course and distance last season and, with the ground very much expected to suit, Flying Bantam can pick up where he left off from last term.
