Up In Lights out to make name for herself

TIPS: Fanshawe can carry on run of form with impressive July Course winner

- The Ferret

UP IN LIGHTS can provide James Fanshawe with further autumnal cheer by winning the Home Of Racing Fillies’ Handicap at Newmarket.

The master of Pegasus Stables has had a grand few weeks, having scooped Group One glory with both Speedy Boarding and The Tin Man.

Fanshawe can now carry on the good work, albeit at a much lower level, in the final race on the Newmarket card.

Things did not go Up In Lights’ way in a one-mile handicap at Doncaster last time, but there was sufficient evidence to argue that she had pitched up on the wrong side of town.

After all, those on the outer side of the track hardly ripped up too many giant oaks as the action unfolded down the middle of the course.

It might be best to forget that run and instead focus on the positives from what was a really striking victory on Newmarket’s July Course in August.

Sent off a 5-1 chance in competitiv­e fillies’ handicap over a mile, the fouryear-old daughter of Makfi coolly overcame no shortage of scrimmagin­g to emerge victorious by a length.

SINCIL BANK really ought to go close in the AR Legal Houghton Conditions Stakes.

David Simcock’s youngster was first past the post on his Newcastle debut on August 29, but the stewards were forced to demote him into second place after he interfered with Mushaireb.

Sincil Bank was well backed on his first start, but those losses were swiftly recouped as he dotted up a month later over the same course and distance. SELECTIONS:
