Turners Handicap Stakes

Tryst arrives on the back of a win last time out and with experience of today's distance and going, making her a clear danger here; the concern is whether she can bounce back from a dip in form — sixth and seventh in the two starts before that victory.

Sierra Sands arrives in fine nick, a winner on each of his last two starts and with experience of today's trip and going — the 22-day break looks just right, and his 134 lb burden is the only query for the progressive colt from stall three.

Spirit Of Saxony shaped well when second two starts back and was a winner three starts back, so he brings genuine recent form to this; he has experience of today's trip and going, and our rating has him narrowly top of the field — the fourth last time out is the one to overcome.

Consistently placed in recent starts — second last time out, and a second two starts back — Hardy's Hero has run over today's trip and going and returns fresh on just nine days' rest; the main concern is that he remains winless in his last five starts.

Lion Of Mali has winning form in recent starts — a winner two starts back — but that fifth three starts back hints at inconsistency, and ranked fifth of six on our figures he looks up against it here, despite having run over today's trip and going before.
