‘In-form filly loves the all-weather surface’ – Jason Heavey’s Monday racing tips

Daily Star Chief Tipster fancies a Tom Ward-trained filly to score at Wolverhampton while at Fairyhouse in Ireland the big race can go to Ger Lyons and Colin Keane

HAVE plenty of faith in PRIESTESS (5.30, nap) at Wolverhampton on Monday.

After showing promise on all four of her starts, the penny really dropped when the filly stormed home to win at Southwell 18 days ago.

That was her first effort on the all-weather and she hit the line strongly to win by a head.

Today’s extra furlong in the Download the Racecourse App Raceday Ready Nursery should spark more improvement and with Kieran Shoemark in the saddle she looks capable of defying a 4lb rise in the weights from a nice draw.

Jonny Portman is having a great season and has done well with his two-year-olds.

ANYWAYTHEWINDBLOWS (5.00, nb) went straight into the notebook when staying on strongly to be second at Chepstow on her latest run and she is fancied to break her duck in the fillies’ maiden.

HOWD’YADOIT (5.45) can take the Listed Ballyhane Blenheim Stakes – the feature at Fairyhouse.

Ger Lyons’ colt won a valuable Listed race at Naas and is improving fast.

MARGORIE (5.05, trb) left her previous form behind to cause a 40-1 shock when winning at Windsor recently.

The soft ground seemed to make the difference that day and Eve Johnson Houghton’s filly will get some dig in the ground at Leicester today. The extra furlong should suit.

CANDLE OF TIME (1.40) produced her best effort on good to soft ground at Doncaster and the lightly-raced filly has slipped to an attractive handicap mark.

She can take the opener at Leicester, while Oliver Rock’s SYDNEY ROCK (2.43) has shown a good level of form in her two races and sets the standard in a warm looking maiden.
