Meadow Sprite¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 54

Lightly-raced maiden. Met some trouble on recent Wolverhampton handicap debut so shouldn't be judged on that run. Much less exposed than most of these and has Oisin Murphy in the saddle.

Forecasts

Paddy Elliott (16/5), Thriller's Moon (9/2), Capla Lass (11/2), She's No Angel (13/2), Meadow Sprite (15/2), Inexplicable (15/2), Alaskan Lady (16/1), Zealous (20/1), Regina George (28/1), Tippler (28/1), Avior Star (40/1), Lord Warburton (50/1), Louby Lou (100/1)

A chance is taken on MEADOW SPRITE who met trouble on her handicap debut. She's the only runner on the card for her Berkshire-based trainer and Oisin Murphy is a very healthy 12-31 for the stable in 2021. Brian Ellison's Paddy Elliott and last-time-out Carlisle scorer Zealous head the dangers.
