Starspangledbanner goes to Haydock on Saturday for the Betfred Sprint Cup after a disapointing try at 5f in the Nunthorpe Stakes when being beaten by a 100/1 shot.

Those to take him on include last years winner Regal Parade who may find life a tad tougher this time round, Kingsgate Native who bids to find get some sparkle back at 6f and the popular Borderlescott who always gives his best and usually ends up thereabouts.

Lady Of The Desert, Markab, Rainfall, Doncaster Rover, Genki, Prime Defender, Our Jonathan, Serious Attitude, Barney McGrew, Sir Gerry, Iver Bridge Lad, and Fullandby complete the field of sixteen.
