Overview

• Saturday's Betfair Sprint Cup will feature a maximum 17-runner field led by Royal Ascot Group 1 winners Lazzat and Time For Sandals.
• Trainer Harry Eustace made a late call to target Haydock with Time For Sandals rather than the Curragh's Flying Five due to ground considerations.
• Haydock reported the going as good, good to soft in places on Thursday after less rain than forecast.
• Lazzat heads the market at around 2/1 with James Doyle booked, while Time For Sandals is near 6/1 for Kieran Shoemark as Wathnan Racing also fields Kind Of Blue and Flora Of Bermuda.
• The oversubscribed race has Nighteyes and Celandine as reserves, with trends highlighting the importance of recent Group 1 runs and form from the Commonwealth Cup or Deauville.
