Make it Party time at Brighton

Youngster to get it right this time to add to Watson tally

LAIKAPARTY holds strong claims of getting off the mark in the starsports. bet Novice Median Auction Stakes at Brighton.

Archie Watson has carried all before him in the two-year-old division this season, and this one has twice come close to adding to his tally.

Narrowly beaten at Lingfield on his debut, he then went to Newmarket where the expectation is you meet a better class of animal, but he went close again, beaten just half a length.

Not short of pace, it will take a decent one to beat him and Watson has him in the Redcar Trophy later in the year.

LADY MASCARA can finally get off the mark in the Sky Sports Racing On Sky 415 Maiden Handicap.

James Fanshawe’s charge has started to find her feet now she has been upped to middle distances, placing on each of her two starts over the 10 furlongs she faces here.

After being beaten a neck on her initial try, Lady Mascara was sent off favourite last time but could finish only third at Sandown after finding herself outpaced in the closing stages.

This looks an easier event on paper though, so it could pay to keep the faith.

Martyn Meade’s LOVING GLANCE has gone close in two Newmarket maidens and holds strong claims in the Matchbook Novice Stakes at Kempton.

Regally bred, as most of the Lordship Stud string are, her dam Kissable was very smart for Kevin Prendergast before being sold to America, where it never really worked out for her.

Loving Glance cost 200,000 guineas and has shaped as if she is well capable of winning races in her two starts to date.

Today’s meeting at Hamilton has been cancelled due to a waterlogged track.

The circuit was due to stage a seven-race Flat fixture, but on Sunday an inspection was called for 10am yesterday, with the track having being hit by substantial rainfall in the last week and the action was called off.
