All set for Sunday’s Mothers' Day meeting at Ngong

Bullet, Pippa, and Pretty Pearl, are splitting differences already before the Air Force Cup even begins. They have enough refinement to construct a three-way dead-heat, unless Wesley perks up to the challenge. Wind Rose has not encouraged us for backing, as yet.

Similarly, the Duke of Manchester open handicap, can shape into a swinger with Dusha, Frankie, and a rejuvenated Firing Line. Having not been sighted since January, Firing Line may return to her former self, depending largely on what was bothering the proficient mare. The Bar has definitely run better over sprints, and is nicely adept to cope, if a saucy break is achieved.

The 2,800m Gooch Cup might bring Karowe to the wire, especially with a little assistance from Lesley Sercombe. Grace Kelly is next best.
