Missoula who came from the clouds to take the Ascot Stakes last week, can give Suzy Smith another dream success in the John Smith's Northumberland Plate at Newcastle.
The five-year-old was a fairytale first winner on the Flat for Lewes-based Smith, whose string is made up mainly of National Hunt horses.
It was almost a heart-stopping moment as Missoula burst through the pack to get home by a head in a blanket finish.
That race was over two and a half miles on quick going but a fast-run race over two miles on slower ground should suit her even better.
She was a 13-length winner over two miles and two furlongs at York last October when trained by Mark Tompkins. A low draw is desirable to avoid being taken wide at the first turn and there are no complaints on that score.
