Three-time winner for Brian Toomey last year and good efforts when runner-up on first 2 starts for current yard. Hasn't kicked on since and others are preferred at present.
|
Hooded when landing the odds in 1m Southwell novice last autumn. Had slipped in the weights and was produced perfectly from off a sound gallop to readily notch a first handicap success in a 6-runner event at Nottingham (1¼m, good, 15/8) 25 days ago. Not taken lightly after 3 lb rise.
|
Beat the rest decisively when second of 9 at Lingfield (1¼m) on handicap debut before going one place better in an 8-runner handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good to firm) 72 days ago. Open to further improvement and should go close after 6 lb rise.
|
Well-bred filly was an encouraging third of 14 in a 1¼m maiden at Newbury in April but didn't go with anything like the same promise when fourth at Salisbury next time and took another backwards step when third of 5 in novice (9/2) at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) last month. Makes handicap debut.
|
Runner-up at Ripon last month and didn't need to improve on that form to get off the mark in a 4-runner handicap (7/4) at Leicester (1¼m, good to firm) 15 days ago, travelling fluently before asserting gradually. Up 3 lb in a deeper contest here.
|
Completed a hat-trick of handicap successes at Lingfield in April. Has remained in good form into the turf season, placed for the third outing in a row when second of 5 in handicap at Windsor (1¼m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Should give another good account.
|
Holding her form well in defeat at present, though hinted at a quirky side when fifth of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Beverley (8.5f, good) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
|
Caused a surprise in a first-time hood when winning at Kempton (1½m) in April. Mostly respectable efforts since but hasn't been seen to best effect on her last 2 outings, running into trouble just as she started to build momentum when last of 7 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 6 days ago.
|
Placed all 3 starts at 2 yrs and produced her best effort to date in first-time cheekpieces when third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.5f, good) 25 days ago, coming off the bridle some way out but sticking to her task. Worth a try at this even longer trip.
|
Has improved with each run and got off the mark in good style in 8-runner all-weather novice at Lingfield (1m) in December. Only just denied making her handicap debut after a 7-month break when runner-up in a 5-runner event at Salisbury (1¼m, good to firm, 9/4) 18 days ago, Can go one better.

Forecasts
Spirit Of Athene (5/2), Ammoony (4/1), Lady Milton (11/2), Celestias Comet (8/1), Take A View (8/1), Kimeko Glory (17/2), Melody De Vega (12/1), Come On Eibhlin (12/1), Enamorus (25/1), Pershalla (28/1)
SPIRIT OF ATHENE only narrowly failed to make a successful handicap debut earlier in the month but can be expected to improve further with race fitness now on her side. Redcar winner Ammoony is another likely improver on her return from a short break, with Nottingham winner Celestias Comet also shortlisted in a race where it's hard to rule many out.
