Competitive field for Sprint Cup

FRENCH star Lazzat, July Cup hero No Half Measures and the supplemented Sky Majesty are among 22 potential runners for the Betfair Sprint Cup at Haydock this Saturday.

Jerome Reynier’s Lazzat got the better of Japanese ace Satono Reve when striking Royal Ascot gold in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes on his penultimate start. He suffered a surprise defeat when bidding for back-to-back wins in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville last time, but is a 2-1 favourite to get back on the winning trail in this weekend’s Group One feature on Merseyside.

No Half Measures reduced Richard Hughes to tears when providing the former leading jockey with his first top-level success as a trainer in Newmarket's July Cup and she will get the opportunity to prove that shock 66-1 victory was no fluke.
