SUMMER evening racing may be reaching its twilight, but Windsor offer up yet another of their renowned Monday night cards.

The competitive racing usually draws a decent crowd, and those supporting Viking Spirit in the gotrinidadandtobago.com Handicap can go home happy.

Walter Swinburn’s seven-yearold has not got his head in front in well over a year but he has been contesting some hot handicap heats so his lack of success can be forgiven.

He has dropped back from a career-high rating of 103 to a much more realistic 90 now – and this looks a winnable mark judged on his recent second at Ripon.

Lining up in similar company, Viking Spirit found only Red Cape too good over six furlongs, despite a slightly tardy start.

Given a better break here, Viking Spirit looks in the right kind of mind to return to form.

Point Of Light is one to keep on the right side of as he bids for a four-timer in the Best Of Barbados Handicap.

A typical Sir Mark Prescotttrained three-year-old, Point Of Light has improved out of all recognition after being stepped up to middle-distance trips.

The Pivotal colt kicked off his winning run on his belated seasonal bow at Newmarket at the end of July and he has quickly followed up with two further successes at Bath.

He reappears here just four days after that last victory and with Prescott obviously keen to exploit his current mark, the hint should be taken.

Thirsk also host some evening action and in-form handler Ruth Carr can bag another winner with Lucky Art in The Carpenters Arms Felixkirk Handicap.

The North Yorkshire trainer has been in flying form this term, with Lucky Art having appeared unfortunate not to win at Newcastle last time.

He could not get a run at a crucial point on that outing just five days ago, with his jockey failing to find space before challenging all too late.

Granted better luck here, Lucky Art can regain the winning thread.

All-weather action is on offer at Wolverhampton, where Bahamian Music can build on her Newcastle win last time out.

She pulled very hard that day but still managed to come home a length and a half clear of Hoss Cartwright after finishing third on her racecourse bow.

The wolverhampton-racecourse.

co.uk Nursery appears an obvious next step for Richard Fahey’s filly.

Crimson Mitre can follow up his recent course-and-distance success in the Southwell Racecourse For Conferences Handicap at the Nottinghamshire venue.

Jonathan Jay’s charge was a clear winner that day and should be able to defy an increased mark of 72.

■ A return to Ireland is on the cards for Long Lashes after she maintained her unbeaten record in the Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

The American-bred filly made a winning debut in a Listed event at the Curragh when in the care of Jessica Harrington and was swiftly snapped up to join the powerhouse Godolphin team.

It looked money well spent when she stayed on strongly to score in Group Three company at Headquarters and Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford is eyeing the Moyglare Stud Stakes back at the Curragh on August 30 as the filly’s likely next port of call.

‘‘We were delighted with her performance at Newmarket and she’ll probably head towards the Moyglare next,’’ said Crisford.

‘‘She is still quite green and probably found herself in front a bit too soon, but hopefully the Moyglare will be a suitable target for her.

‘‘It was always the plan for her to head out to Dubai in the winter and that remains the case.’’ Long Lashes is currently as short as 12-1 with Ladbrokes in the ante-post market for next year’s 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, but Crisford admits a decision on her participation in the Classic remains some way off.

‘‘I think we have to wait to see how everything unfolds and I don’t think we have to enter for the Guineas until next February.

We’ll just take it one step at a time,’’ added Crisford.
