Race Tip

A competitive event where it could pay to side with twice-raced handicap debutant FIFTY NIFTY (8). The Tom Clover trained gelding looked good scoring on debut at Yarmouth. Not disgraced in a novice event under a penalty at Doncaster last time and this opening mark could prove workable. TWIRLING (4) scored at Doncaster (1m) before running below-par in a fierce Royal Ascot handicap. URBAN SPRAWL (6) may go well fresh and cannot be ignored on first outing since finishing third over 1m at Kempton in December. STERLING KNIGHT (5) looks interesting tackling this trip for the first time on softer ground.
