Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 6/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 19 days ago. Her consistency is hard to knock and she could well open her account from a career-low mark.

17/2, typically showed bags of speed when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 3 days ago, going off too hard. Should remain competitive.

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Ran one of better races when 2½ lengths sixth of 9 to Beneficiary in minor event (33/1) at this C&D 2 weeks ago. Needs to build on that now.

Forecasts

Flash The Dash (5/2), Beneficiary (5/2), Sparkling Spirit (15/2), Spring Romance (15/2), The Toff (15/2), May Remain (17/2), My Boy Jack (16/1), One Last Hug (20/1), Fighting Chance (28/1), Impulsive Lady (40/1)

Verdict

SPARKLING SPIRIT is yet to taste success, but her consistency is hard to knock so Adrian Keatley's charge gets the tentative vote having dropped to a career-low mark. May Remain is another arriving in good order so he may emerge as the main danger, with Flash The Dash and Beneficiary another couple not out of things, either.
