BEST BET: Fleadh Cailin (T2, 7.37 Hove)

NEXT BEST: Romeo Sparta (T5, 6.44 Hove)

TREBLE: Cochise (T1, 7.03 Hove)

On a competitive mixed card from Hove, Irish recruit Fleadh Cailin (T2) had shown glimmers of ability around Dundalk and, following some average trial spins in her new surroundings, the penny has suddenly dropped in no uncertain terms.

A comfortable A5 success was bettered in an A2 when she cleared away for a 29.55 demolition and another rise in class couldn't stop the progression, as she claimed an open race in fine fashion last week. This September '21 bitch remains an unknown quantity and the Coral Thursday Night 515 Trophy at 7.37 looks hers for the taking.

A recent switch of kennels from Towcester to Hove trainer Tony Taylor is beginning to bear fruits for Romeo Sparta (T5), as he notched a quick-fire 500m double in sub-30 second clocks, and then found an A2 a bridge too far after having every chance out wide last time. This son of Dorotas Wildcat possesses the early speed to get on the bunny in the Maiden Stayers at 6.44 over 695m and, although his stamina will have to be taken on trust, he can give a good account.

In the 7.03, Cochise (T1) has been lightly campaigned with mixed fortunes since reaching the dizzy heights of a third-placed finish in the 2023 Derby. This imposing individual ran better than his finishing position suggests when third behind the useful King Sydney over C&D five days ago and he will find this task much easier against rivals that have questions to answer at this level.
