Holland hits net on familiar hunting ground

Primrose Ridge won by seven lengths from stall 14 at Beverley. Primrose was second in the Brocklesby at Doncaster last month and beaten at odds-on at Redcar. The filly will go for the Marygate at York now. Royal Ascot would be the obvious target for Prim rose. The facilities at the track are better now than when Darryll Holland used to ride there.

Evocative Spark won a handicap at Royal Ascot last week. George Boughey trained him for Ibrahim Araci. He is eyeing the Britannia Handicap and a £75,000 seven-furlong handicaps at Goodwood in late-May.

Holland hits net on familiar hunting ground. Spark flies home for GBougheyracing and Benacurtis in the feature, the £14,000 Alan McGuiness And Robin Lunness Memorial Handicap.

Adrian Nicholls is pleased to have his first winner in nine weeks. Tees Spirit won in the 5f handicap. Nicholl's stable will have 25 horses this season.

Six of the 11 went off at single-figure odds for the Britannia, which is no mean feat given that race averages nearly 30 runners. Similarly, it is no…
