Sugar Sugar (20:15 Nottingham — Oddschecker Fillies’ Handicap, Class 5, 6f)
A three-year-old bay filly by Dream Ahead, trained by J Channon and partnered by George Bass, who has a 33% win rate on her across their three rides together. Sugar Sugar won on her handicap debut at Epsom on 30 July, landing a seven-runner Class 5 at 6/1 by a neck, and returns just twelve days later off a mark only 2lb higher — Channon clearly believes she’s well treated and is striking while the iron is hot.
Good to firm conditions suit, 6f is her optimum trip, and in a six-runner fillies’ handicap she faces a straightforward task on paper. The main danger is Thunderous Love at 5/2 who has won twice at this course and distance, but Sugar Sugar’s recent winning form gives her the edge.
Verdict: Back to win— fresh handicap winner, lenient mark, retained jockey, and connections back quickly for good reason. 🏇
