Record of four wins from 33 starts and best efforts this season have come at Hamilton. Finished runner-up there over 5f on good ground in June but well held twice since then. Rated 5lb lower than when winning at Hamilton on heavy ground last September.
Finished a close second in a six runner contest over 6f at Carlisle (good-to-firm) in May. Unraced since and races off a mark 5lb higher than for her latest success.
Winner on the AW at Wolverhampton in April last year and run some sound races in defeat since. Beaten a nose in a selling contest at Thirsk (good-to-firm) over 5f last time out but others make more appeal here.
Sole success so far came on the AW at Lingfield over 6f in May last year. Couple of fair efforts so far for this yard including when 3L fifth off a 2lb higher mark at Thirsk (good-to-soft) last week.
Signs of ability in four starts at two. Most recent of those came on handicap debut over 6f at Yarmouth (soft) last October. Pulled hard on that occasion and makes her first start of the season today.
Finished 1L second when contesting a ten runner handicap over 6f at Leciester (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off a 1lb higher mark today and interesting to see if she can repeat that effort here.
Recorded a double in sprint handicaps last July and run well on each of her last three outings. Beaten a nose on soft ground over 6f at Chepstow on her penultimate outing and finished 2L third of six over 5f on soft ground at the same track since. Blinkers replace usual cheekpieces today.
Made a winning debut over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month. Half-sister to useful sprinter Love Spirit amongst others and interesting to see how she fares on her handicap debut here.
Maiden after four starts and held seventh on handicap debut over 6f at Leicester (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off a 2lb lower mark today but others have a more obvious chance in this.
Maiden winner on the AW at Newcastle when debuting for this yard over 5f in September last year. Well beaten on her last two outings and races off a career low mark here.
Struggle in three outings in maiden races this year. Finished tenth of 12 over C&D on good-to-soft ground on the most recent of those and has a visor fitted for the first time for her handicap debut.
Forecasts
Maid In India (9/2), Spirit Of Rosanna (5/1), Penny Pot Lane (5/1), Honeysuckle Lil (6/1), Seyasah (8/1), Miss Patience (9/1), Lexington Sky (9/1), Semana Santa (12/1), Vote (12/1), Lotara (16/1), Naralsaif (66/1)
HONEYSUCKLE LIL has been out of form in the main of late and her handicap mark has been falling as a result. The selection tackles a Class 5 contest for the first time since finishing fourth at Ayr last September and she can take this off top weight with Spirit Of Rosanna, who has been running well on soft ground in recent starts taken to claim third. Maid In India is out of a useful soft ground sprinter and she can follow up her maiden victory by claiming third on her handicap debut here.
