SPARKLING Smile can make a swift transition from multiple handicap winner to Listed victor in the Princess Royal Transformers And Rectifiers EBF Harvest Stakes at Ascot.

David Lanigan’s charge has been one of the success stories of the year, notching up five successive wins and progressing from a mark of 66 to her current perch of 92.

Out of luck in three juvenile starts, the Cape Cross filly kicked off her winning spree at Beverley in April and Lanigan demonstrated his shrewd judgement in placing her to win at Redcar, Doncaster, Salisbury and Lingfield since.

After securing her four-timer at Doncaster in July, Lanigan gave the filly a break until the beginning of September, although she was twice ruled out in August due to unsuitable ground.

Regardless of that absence though, Sparkling Smile showed she is still on the upgrade with her all-weather win and while she might fall short of some of her rivals on the official ratings, she is a filly who is undoubtedly still improving at a rate of knots.

The unexposed Leviathan should also go well in the Frank Fitzgerald Handicap at Haydock.

Tom Tate’s three-year-old has been sparingly campaigned since his maiden debut success, with connections having kept their powder dry in anticipation of a rain-softened surface.

The half-brother to Illustrious Blue fared really promisingly at Doncaster last time, though, when second to useful yardstick Navajo Chief.

It is also worthy noting that last year on Town Moor he lowered the colours of Yaa Wayl, a subsequent Listed winner this term.

Tate’s decision to step him up to a mile for the first time can be vindicated in the Frank Fitzgerald Handicap - especially given the likely soft ground on Merseyside.

Dream Of Olwyn must also be of interest in the Betdaq The Betting Exchange Apprentice Series Handicap.

The five-year-old mare, a winner on heavy ground and a promising third at Yarmouth last time, has swerved a few recent engagements in preference for this race.

She also has the assistance of Dale Swift, who is one of the sharpest apprentices on the circuit.

Best bet on Wolverhampton’s card could be Quinsman, who takes the plunge in the williamhill.com - Sports Betting Handicap.
