FELICITY FANCIED FOR LINGFIELD HONOURS

By Ashley Iveson

It is not too difficult to make a cogent case for Felicity in the opening Get The Inside Track With raceday-ready.com Fillies’ Handicap at Lingfield.

A 350,000 guineas buy on behalf of the powerful Wathnan Racing team at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up sale, the daughter of Blue Point has so far only hinted at ability, but looks well placed to come good.

Fourth on her introduction at Nottingham in May, the William Haggas-trained filly has since been narrowly denied twice at Bath and now enters the handicap arena for the first time with a mark of 67.

She has a nice draw in stall three and with James Doyle in the saddle, a bold bid is anticipated.

Flicka’s Girl has had excuses for her last few runs and can confirm her early promise in the Get Raceday Ready Nursery Handicap.

A debut winner at Wolverhampton by almost five lengths, Dave Loughnane’s filly finished fourth on her next start at Bath before placing second in Chester’s Lily Agnes Stakes.

She was then outclassed in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and lost all chance after being hampered at the start on her most recent outing back at Chester.

Flicka’s Girl is back on an artificial surface for the first time since her introduction and a mark of 75 for her handicap debut looks fair.

Hoornblower is well fancied to make it back-to-back wins over the course and distance in division two of the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap.

Denis Coakley’s chestnut bolted up here off the back of a 277-day break late last month and the handicapper may have been lenient in handing him just a 5lb rise.

Profitable Edge is less exposed than most in the Support Musselburgh Athletic FC Handicap at the Scottish track.

She may only have two wins to her name from 15 outings, but the majority of her rivals have far more mileage on the clock.

Having won on her seasonal return at Thirsk, Profitable Edge was then fourth at Haydock off 6lb higher and has been dropped 1lb since.

Union Island appears to have been found a gilt-edged opportunity to break his duck in the EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes.

Charlie Johnston’s three-year-old has twice finished second in five career outings so far, most recently faltering close home when run down by Duran at Brighton.

Switching back to five furlongs in what looks a weak affair, it will be disappointing if Union Island does not get his head in front.

Jim Goldie and Paul Mulrennan rarely leave Musselburgh without a winner and this time it could be Trojan Sun that provides them with victory in the Racing TV Handicap.

Unable to land a blow in three starts in maiden and novice company over shorter trips, the four-year-old fared significantly better when stepped up to two miles here on his handicap debut earlier in the month, finishing clear second best behind Knight’s Affair.

Returning to the same track and trip off the same mark of just 57, a bold bid looks assured.

Archie Watson’s Take A Pull looks the best bet at Wolverhampton.

A clear-cut winner on debut at Chelmsford, she looked more than capable of carrying a penalty in the Get Raceday Ready Fillies’ Restricted Novice Stakes.
