Fitzdares Handicap

Dual Flat winner in 2024 (1m5f/2m1f) but raced exclusively over hurdles since autumn of that year; probably only fifth best on merit when third at Fontwell last week and will need to be somewhere close to his best Flat form to overcome current mark.

Seven-race maiden who finished down the field in AW handicaps (1m4f-2m) on all four starts for current stable since December; can't be recommended on this switch back to turf.

Failed to win last year and is patently not as good as he was but he ran well over hurdles in March and reverts to the Flat on a tempting mark; might ideally prefer ground slower than good but still makes appeal.

Came good for current stable at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February and has made the frame on three of her four AW starts since; could have untapped potential over staying trips but needs to prove herself on turf.

Gained last season's two wins on consecutive starts at Ffos Las (1m6f/2m) in the summer; absent since heavy defeat in October and would appeal more on ground slower than good but resumes on a workable mark.
