LAST WEEK it was the Derby and next week it’s Royal Ascot but in between we have more than enough good action to keep us all satisfied.  Down at Sandown the feature race is the five-furlong Scurry Stakes for three year olds.  This features some really interesting sorts and my selection is the most interesting (and least original) of the lot.  Corrybrough looks like a sprinter of serious potential, judged on the way he won his last race at Beverley just under three weeks ago.  Looking outpaced and too far back to mount any challenge of note he picked up exceptionally well and won a shade cosily by two-and-a-half-lengths.  The form wouldn’t be overly strong but he could only beat what was put in front of him and he did it with consummate ease.  His trainer Henry Candy handled Corrybrough’s father Kyllachy with similar adeptness and don’t be surprised if you see this individual competing in the top sprint races towards the end of the season.  Elsewhere up at York it’s Timeform Charity Day featuring a heritage sprint handicap for three year olds.  This competitive race fell victim to last summer’s atrocious weather but a maximum field of 20 are set to line up this time around.  One of the major pieces of form for this race was a similar handicap at Newmarket at the end of May won by the Michael Jarvis-trained Ancien Regime.  He is set to carry a hefty weight in this race and it could be worth siding with the horse that came third that day, Prohibit.  He had shown good form to finish third behind the classy Sir Gerry at Ascot in a Listed race before Newmarket and wasn’t disgraced in a similar contest after Newmarket.  He receives a six-pound pull for a two-length defeat by Ancien Regime and I can see him going close from a decent draw.
