Shine brightest at Leicester

RACING: Hannon filly to prove hard to beat in Novice Stakes

SHINE FOR YOU can go one better than on her recent Kempton debut in the British Stallion Studs EBF Kegworth Novice Stakes at Leicester today.

Richard Hannon’s filly appeared a little in need of the experience on her introduction, so it is testament to the daughter of Siyouni’s latent talent that she came within a short head of victory – beaten by a lesser-fancied stablemate in Al Fahdaa.

The form is difficult to quantify, but it was an excellent start to Shine For You’s career and, receiving 5lb from the colts, she should prove difficult to beat at the second time of asking.

FOLLOW SUIT has been thoroughly consistent and can defy top-weight in the Everards Of Leicestershire Fillies’ Nursery Handicap.

A surprise winner on her debut at Wolverhampton, she was then outclassed behind Dandalla at Royal Ascot, but has thrived since.

She was second at Bath before winning over this course and distance last time out in quite cosy fashion.

INDIAN SOUNDS appeared to have lost his way with Mark Johnston, but he has been rejuvenated since joining Paul Midgley. While he inherited a wellhandicapped sprinter on his best form, by the time the handicapper gets hold of him for last week’s stroll at Beverley, he will surely be on a career-high mark.

OUT THE HAT can get back to winning ways in the Sodexo EBF Novice Stakes at Hamilton.

Jedd O’Keeffe’s youngster outran big odds in a valuable sales race at York when third to Happy Romance.

That winner has been one of the success stories of the season, but Out The Hat was not beaten too far.

He had earlier won over the course and distance he faces here and undoubtedly holds the strongest form on his return to Scotland.
