The team of racehorses sponsored by the Crown Hotel has made an encouraging start to the new year, with ex-Irish performer Circle Dance coming the closest to winning on the All-Weather.
Simon Mapletoft Racing's sprinter has been placed in all four starts so far, including when second in a five-furlong maiden at Great Leighs in January. He has since overcome bad draws to be third in similar races at Kempton and Wolverhampton.
Another four-year-old, Know No Fear, also shaped with promise on his debut for Simon Mapletoft Racing's trainer Derek Shaw, finishing a staying on fourth in a competitive handicap at Great Leighs, while three-year-old Sills Vincero was an unlucky fourth in a Kempton handicap after being badly impeded in the closing stages when mounting her challenge.
Meanwhile, sprinter Wibbadune, who won five races in 2008, is back in full work and is due to run again later this month on the All-Weather, before resuming on turf in the spring.
