ROWLESTONE LASS (Chepstow, nap, 4.30) may have been responsible for more seconds than Royal Doulton but she could finally gain an overdue success today.
Richard Price has his select team in fine order at the moment, Greyemkay winning twice for the Herefordshire handler in the past 10 days, so the daughter of Hernando hails from a yard in good form and in Jamie Spencer has a rider which should suit her style of running.
The selection invariably travels well through her races, but doesn’t always find as much as is expected so Spencer’s patient style of riding could by a match made in heaven.
Without a win in 13 starts, I’m hoping it could be 14th time lucky for Rowlestone Lass at a venue she has performed with credit at before.
LONG AWAITED (Epsom, nb, 3.10) hinted at a major return to form at Doncaster last time and if he can reproduce that effort on the clock, the northern raider should go well in a decent sprint.
The six-year-old has dropped to a very handy mark these days and the booking of Ryan Moore suggests connections fancy their chances.
BARWICK (Epsom, 4.20) goes well on idiosyncratic tracks like Brighton and Epsom and looks the perfect type for the Amateur Derby, especially with the excellent Ross Birkett on board.
