Rockview Spirit²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R P Downey| T: J C McConnell

7/1

Charm Spirit filly is a half-sister to two-year-old 6f winner Disprove. Fairly promising starts at Navan and the Curragh so far and one for the shortlist once again.

Forecasts

Rita Levi (8/11), Sundance Star (11/4), Rockview Spirit (7/1), Ascot Dreamer (12/1), Espirit D'Escalier (14/1), Commodus (25/1), Annabelle Rock (50/1), Ebony Belle (50/1), Olwen's Dream (66/1), Mrs Browne's Girl (100/1)

The Ger Lyons-trained RITA LEVI can land the opener here in first-time blinkers following solid runs at Navan and the Curragh recently. The four-race maiden can get off the mark at the expense of Ken Condon's consistent filly, Sundance Star and potential improver Rockview Spirit.
