Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and she needs to raise her game.

5/1

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 13/2) 20 days ago, finding extra. 3 lb rise fair enough and she has to enter calculations.

11/4

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (12/1) at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Merits consideration, for all that more will be needed up 5 lb.

Form: 07-0321

Sognatore²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 54| BF

Forecasts

Beryl Burton (11/4), Meadow Sprite (9/2), She's No Angel (5/1), Carmela Soprano (8/1), Sognatore (12/1), Marie Paradis (14/1), Broughtons Chief (16/1), Smokey Malone (18/1), One More Su (20/1), Holy Bee (25/1), Eagle Eyed Freddie (25/1), Dusk Chorus (28/1), St George's Bay (33/1), Sweet Expectation (33/1), Canterbury Tales (80/1), Touchet Beret (100/1)

MEADOW SPRITE arguably shaped better than the bare result when third to She's No Angel at Newcastle and, armed with a handy pull at the weights here, Hughie Morrison's charge is taken to come out on top this time. She's No Angel should give another good account all the same, and she is next on the list ahead of Carmela Soprano and recent Ffos Las winner Beryl Burton.
