SPRIGHT made a hot favourite work hard for victory on debut at Doncaster and won in a canter at York later. Those runs came over 6f but Karl Burke’s filly has bags of pace and should cope with the drop back to 5f. On collateral form, she just holds Sandown winner Miss Jingles. Country Carnival and Furlong Factor are more exposed but preferred to Pelekai and the debutante Lady Amalthea.
