June to bloom at Valley again with fifth straight win on cards

ASHWAY JUNE could not have made a better start to her career at Valley with Adrian Rawlings' bitch fancied to enjoy even more success still by landing a 645m open there at 2.03.

She stepped up to six bends to win a maiden over the trip last week, getting on top close home, and now meets the winner of the other division of that contest, Denos Bird, who clocked a much faster sectional but significantly slower overall time.

The selection is fancied to track the speed today and can pounce on the final lap to take her record at the Welsh track to a perfect five from five.

There are also a quartet of maidens on the Valley card with the suggestions being Anna Jeffery's Hawkfield Jazz (11.47) and Tony Morgan's Hawkfield Zoom (12.21) in 260m sprints plus Donna Davy's Epic Evelyn (12.54) and Rawlings' Ashway Joe (1.29) over 460m and 645m respectively.

There are three Sunday Irish fixtures with Morgan Crowley's Droopys Roar (3.41) fancied at Mullingar, Charles Coyle's Sunshine Lass (8.21) at Lifford, while Aaron O'Hanlon's Swift Pallas (9.01) is the the Clonmel pick.

Best at Doncaster's early fixture is Craig Williams' Tommys Heroine (12.12) who can enhance her already excellent record in D5 sprints, while Colin Dibb's Conscience (7.24) can score at Star Pelaw this evening.
