Little Roxy shaped with bags of promise on her return to action last month and is of major interest at 4/1 in the 2.40 at Plumpton today.
Anna Newton-Smiths mare improved throughout last season and showed that this track suits her well when landing back to back victories over course and distance in the spring.
Altough now 6lb higher in the weights than when last successful, the six-year-old looked as if her current mark was not beyond her when a solid fourth to the unexposed Master Milan her last month after 199 days on the sidelines.
She raced prominently at the head off affairs that day before making a mistake three out and being unable to find any extra over the 2m 2f journey.
Although beaten just under 10 lengths she ran far better than her finishing position indicates, and the drop back to the minimum trip today will definitely be in her favour.
Ryan Mahon, who rode her for the first time that day, is back in the saddle this afternoon and takes another 3lb off her back and from the foot of the weights she is going to be hard to peg back under her optimum conditions if allowed her own way upfront.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 4pts win Little Roxy (4/1 generally available – use BOG firms)
