Flower Could Flourish Dropped In Trip At Chelmsford

Tomorrow's selection goes at Chelmsford in the concluding 6f handicap. Irish trainer JJ Murphy sends a couple over across the Irish Sea, and the one that is of interest is Wild Flower in the 4.30. Murphy is 2/5 with his runners on the all weather in England (1/25 on turf).

This 3yo filly comes here after quite an encouraging effort when beaten just 2L at Dundalk last time out. That run came over a mile, and she showed plenty of speed before running out of puff in the final furlong. The way she travelled and finished that day suggested she is well worth another go over a sprint trip, and she gets her chance for the first time since her handicap debut back in September of last year.

She has been campaigned exclusively over 7-8f this season without much success, but that last run, as well as her pedigree suggests that 6f should be ideal. She is a daughter of Approve, and he has a 39% strike rate with his progeny over 5/6f compared to just 23% at 7/8f. Kieran O'Neill has been booked, and when trying he is an excellent jockey. She has a decent draw in stall 6, and showed she handles an artificial surface at Dundalk. At 20/1 she looks a big price, and is surely worthy of a little each way support.
