Fizzy set to sparkle at Lingfield

RACING: Sprinter hopes to dominate small field today

- THE FERRET

FIZZY FEET is taken to get back to winning ways in the Play 4 To Score At Betway Handicap at Lingfield today.

It is quite easy to forgive her run last time out – and prior to that she looked a sprinter on the up.

She has been busy since October – this will be her ninth run – but Chelmsford earlier this month was the first time she has not been in the mix, and even then she was beaten only just over five lengths despite being last of eight.

Ideally she likes to make all, and she had been headed – but she was badly hampered two furlongs out, costing her any chance and she also lost a shoe.

This small field will be easier to dominate, and she deserves another chance to prove she is up to winning off a mark of 89. COPPER POINT is an interestin­g

newcomer for John Gosden in the

Betway Maiden Stakes.

The Fastnet Rock colt was unraced at two but cost 375,000 guineas, partly because he is a half-brother to Eminent.

He is starting life over 10 furlongs, and it will be interestin­g to see how he gets on.

Over jumps at Newbury, ICONIC MUDDLE and BILLINGSLE­Y are both of significan­t interest.

Gary Moore’s Iconic Muddle has yet to win in six career starts, but has decent prospects on his return to this galloping course in the opening Federation Of Bloodstock Agents

Conditiona­l Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle.

The grey is a gradual improver, who has run well to be placed in all four hurdles attempts.

Trip and track are in his favour, and he can strike off his current rating in just his second handicap – especially with the help of his jockey’s 8lb claim under these race conditions.

In the Oakley Coachbuild­ers Handicap Chase, Billingsle­y is one of two chasing a hat-trick.

He looks best treated, despite a 12lb rise so far this season, on the basis of convincing wins from useful rivals at Hereford and Haydock.
