FormscanBy Michael Graham - OTTIZZINI is definitely 'match fit' courtesy of three runs in Britain during February, March and April. Stuart Crawford's mare picked up a nice pot in a stayers' novices' hurdle at Musselburgh and emerged with credit from a close second in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at Doncaster. Getaway Charlie was banking plenty of cheques before he unseated his rider in a valuable handicap hurdle at Punchestown. He could readily bounce back to form. Starzov has been lightly raced over the last year, but is capable as evidenced by a fourth place in a decent handicap hurdle at Aintree in November. The returning Happy Jacky and Vina Ardanza are others that could get into contention.
