Expect Surprise at Leicester

TIPS: Crisford’s charge can make most of mark of 87

- THE FERRET

LAST SURPRISE can secure her third win of the year in the George Stubbs Fillies’ Conditions Stakes at Leicester.

Simon Crisford’s charge was victorious on her debut in June, prompting a swift rise in class to tackle the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot, where she finished last of the 25 runners.

Her next outing at Windsor did not offer much encouragem­ent either, but a 75-day break clearly did her the world of good as she returned in triumph at Chelmsford in September, defying a penalty in the process.

Giving weight to all but one of her rivals at Newmarket on her most recent start, Last Surprise did not run too badly to finish third and her subsequent mark of 87 puts her ahead of the field here.

RAYDIANCE could not make his mark at Ascot recently but might find the Wreake Handicap more to his liking.

The four-year-old has three wins to his credit with two of those successes coming with plenty of cut in the ground, which bodes well for this contest.

He finished down the field in a competitiv­e Ascot handicap just over a week ago and now sits on his lowest ever mark, a fact he might be able to exploit.

At Musselburg­h’s final flat meeting of the year, GOMETRA GINTY bids to follow up her recent strike in the Watch Racingtv Now Handicap.

Trained by Keith Dalgleish and owned by Ken Mcgarrity, the Carluke raider has been raised 4lb for her course and distance success 16 days ago.
