Sizing set for Summer success

JOE Tizzard’s runners are firing on all cylinders and SIZING CUSIMANO can keep up the good work in the bet365 Summer Cup at Uttoxeter.

Having his first official start for the Somerset handler, who took over his father Colin’s licence at the start of the current campaign, Sizing Cusimano absolutely hacked up at Newton Abbot last month.

Sent off the 9-4 favourite, the nine-year-old got into a rhythm from an early stage on his first run for 259 days and his rivals simply could not live with him.

Raised 10lb for that 27-length verdict, Sizing Cusimano could still have more to give in this Listed contest.

Eglantine Du Seuil has plenty going for her despite being saddled with top weight in the bet365 Handicap Hurdle.

Angus Cheleda takes off 5lb and the pair combined to good effect at this track last month, making light work of the opposition to win by a length.

She is now back on a career-high mark of 149, but with her confidence riding high it might not be enough to stop her.

Chief White Face was not beaten far on his most recent spin and compensation could await in the Download The Vickers.Bet App Handicap at Windsor.

Winner of one of his three outings in novice and maiden company, Richard Hughes opted to make a swift switch to handicap level at Goodwood last week, with a starting mark of 79 making plenty of appeal.

The 2-1 favourite was dropping back to five furlongs after winning over six in March and just got caught for a bit of pace in the closing stages by Rum Cocktail, eventually beaten half a length.

That was a fine effort and it looks as though the Showcasing gelding has more to offer.

Kind Gesture just did enough to prevail at Wetherby and moving up to a mile looks to be in her favour in the Cazoo Restricted Novice

Stakes.

A race-fit rival proved too good on her racecourse bow, but Kind Gesture made no mistake at the second time of asking, digging deep to prevail by a head over seven furlongs.

She looked in need of a longer trip that day, so stepping back in distance is a positive.

Dee Star is taken to strike in the Cumbria Grand Handicap Chase at Cartmel.
