Soto Sizzler looked ahead of his mark when scoring in in terrifc style last time out so is strongly fancied to make light of a 5lb rise in the weights and follow-up in the 5.15 at Epsom today.
This William Knight trained four-year-old has only had nine starts and ghot off the mark last August at Goodwood when landing a competitive 12-runner class 2 contest over 1m 4f off a mark of 79 where being held-up at the rear he made steady headway two from home and stayed on well inside the final furlong to get up close home at bear Corgi by a length in a race that has thrown-up subsequent winners.
Soto Sizzler got put up to 85 for that taking success but failed to sparkle in two subsequent outings in class 2 company at Haydock and Newmarket.
However, there was lots to like about his comeback run at Kempton last following 169 days on the sidelines when a not knocked about 5 1/4 lengths fifth of 16 to Forbidden Planet over an inadequate 1m 3f.
Soto Sizzler then duly buily on that promising effort to run out an impressive winner over this course and distance where travelled ominously well throughout before quickening clear inside the last to readily berat Eddystone Rock, a winner since, by 3 1/4 lengths.
It was a display which suggested Soto Sizzler needed keeping onside and I think assessor has been very kind has been very kind in raising him just 5lb for it.
He still looks ahead of his revised mark of 88, so with the stable among the winners of late has lots going for hi in this.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 3pts win Soto Sizzler (3/1 generally available – use BOG firms)
