IF THE same STARMAN turns up for the Sprint Stakes (Haydock Park 3.30) as the one we saw running away with the July Cup at Newmarket, and if the ground remains on the fast side of good as forecast, then it is simply game over for his 10 rivals in the feature event of the day.

Drawn close to the stands’ siderail in stall 10, the four-year-old will get a lovely tow into the race — and his top-class turn of foot should land connections back-to-back Group One prizes and the Champion Sprint title to boot.

But if you are looking to play something at a big price to hit the frame, complete outsider Nando Parrado could and should outrun his top odds of 66/1.
