Hannon hopeful Mouille Point can go on again

Aptus Investment Fund Fillies' Handicap | 1m2f | 3yo, fillies | ATR

Just five runners have been declared for this fillies' handicap, but it could still quite easily make for an indicative contest.

Three of the five, for instance, are last-time-out winners with no more than four career starts behind them. Top weight Maid To Remember is one from one after a successful debut at Nottingham last month.

The most experienced of the perceived main players is the Richard Hannon-trained Mouille Point, who got off the mark at the fourth attempt in a handicap at Nottingham in early May.

Her trainer said: "Mouille Point would have a good chance. She's a lovely, tall filly. We gave her a bit of time after her last run and she's come right in her coat now."

Her win last time came on her first run over ten furlongs and, while the case could be made for her staying further on paper, Hannon added: "I'd think this sort of trip would be ideal for the time being."

Hannon is also responsible for Flying North, who ended 2016 on the up but is yet to hit form this year.

He said: "Flying North will find this much more to her liking, hopefully. It was far too quick for her at Goodwood last time and the flatter track should suit. We need to see some of her form from last year."

The third of those with a '1' right next to her name is Lightening Dance. She made her debut as recently as mid-May, but came on from that run to win a maiden at Goodwood just over a fortnight ago.

Trainer Amanda Perrett said: "She's a late-maturing filly and she improved nicely from her first run to win at Goodwood.

"It won't be as straightforward in a handicap now, but she's been given a reasonable mark to start out with and a 0-85 race for fillies feels like the right sort of grade for her, even though others might have more experience."

The field is completed by the Archie Watson-trained Plead. She was second to Mouille Point at Nottingham but has been well beaten in two starts since. Like Flying North, she will need to get back to her best.
