Verdict

Fox Leicester finished fourth to Masaru in the Class 2 Esher Cup over C&D last month, and that's clearly the strongest form in the book when assessing this race. However, there are a couple of horses who could prove capable of matching or bettering that form in time, namely SPARKLE IN HIS EYE (William Haggas) and Promise of Success (Saeed Bin Suroor). The selection is a very lightly-raced Sea The Stars colt who found a suitable winning opportunity on the AW at Newcastle in January, before raising his game further on turf debut at Windsor (third to Davydenko) 24 days ago. He looks just the type to do well now sent handicapping.
  1. Sparkle In His Eye
  2. Promise Of Success
