Jewel is sitting Pretty at Salisbury for trainer Ian Williams

-

– Pretty Jewel will take some stopping when she bids for a second Salisbury success in the Peter Symonds Catering Fillies’ Handicap today.

The five-year-old mare registered her first career victory when scoring over 1600m at this venue last July for trainer Kevin Frost.

Jewel can make the most of her match fitness to strike again.

Pride Of Angels can defy a 3.5kg rise in the weights by following up a win at Lingfield two weeks ago in the CPA Scaffoldin­g Salisbury Handicap.

She has every chance of adding to her tally if handling a return to the grass.

Muscika can make a triumphant return to the scene of his first success when he lines up at Thirsk. The David O’Mearatrain­ed gelding got off the mark in a 1200m maiden on this card 12 months ago and added to that tally at Ayr in July, as well as running well in defeat on most other occasions.

Ad Valorem Queen belied odds of 66-1 when fourth on her debut at Kempton and William Knight’s filly would only have to show normal improvemen­t to strike in the Irish Day At thirskrace­s Saturday 19th May Maiden Auction Stakes.

Argus is fancied to defy top weight in the Phil Rendell’s FortyTwelf­th Birthday Handicap at Windsor.

Alex Dunn’s charge is a course and distance winner and returns to the track in fine fettle.

Dream Magic can register his third course win by taking the Wolverhamp­ton Wanderers Premier League Congratula­tions Handicap at the Dunstall Park Salisbury (UK) Monday Race 1: 15:00 track. Mark Loughnane’s fouryear-old has also been placed there in his last two starts and still looks on a winnable rating.
