Feeling Fab worth another pop
Feeling Fab is worth one more chance in the EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield. The Refuse To Bend filly made a really pleasing debut at Thirsk, finishing second to a highly-regarded juvenile from the Mark Wallace stable.
Because of that, she was sent off at the skinny odds of 4-11 for her next start at Catterick, but faded tamely in the closing stages and came home third.
That performance may have come too soon as it was just over a week after her debut. As she has had a month to recover since Catterick, there will be no excuses if Mark Johnston's charge does not come home in front this time.
Whenever Ed Dunlop requests the services of Frankie Dettori the hint should be taken -- which is the case with Girl of pangaea in the Tulyar Median Auction Maiden Stakes.
This daughter of Soviet Star has had problems and while she has a long way to go to live up to her €105,000 price-tag, the filly can gain a first victory.
Johnston's Chilly Filly should appreciate the step up to a mile in the Edward Frost "Sorry'' Maiden Auction Stakes at Beverley.
George Moore's Reel Buddy Star was a game winner at Ripon in soft conditions at the end of last month and should go well again off bottom weight in the Bay, Filey, Premier Coastal Holiday Village Handicap.
Meanwhile, Michael Jarvis has no qualms about letting Torphichen take his chance in the Leicestershire Maiden Stakes. A colt by Alhaarth, he made a pleasing debut when second of 15 at Windsor and should be the one to beat.
