Dot's Delight a rare Flat treat for Rimell; WOLVERHAMPTON Monday.

Byline: Will O'Hanlon

Star performance Jimmy Quinn was excellent on Resplendent Ace, his 50th winner of the year JUMPS trainer Mark Rimell sent out a rare Flat winner when Dot's Delight took the 1m6f handicap under Silvestre de Sousa.

The mare was backed from 20-1 down to 10-1, but owner Sue Lindley had to settle for some 12-1 about her winner.

She said: "I'm still very happy as I've not had her for long and this is only her second run since she joined Mark."

Trainer's wife Annie Rimell said of Dot's Delight: "She was very gassy first time out for us, but we decided to step her up in trip and drop her out on this occasion, and it's done the trick.

"We don't have many Flat runners, but have had winners on the Flat before."

Spic 'N Span, who had not previously scored away from Southwell, showed he can be just as effective on Polytrack as he made all under Robert Winston in the 5f seller, though it must be noted that runner-up Miss Firefly had a desperate run in the straight and was still only beaten half a length.

Winning trainer Ron Harris said: "He had the best of the draw tonight and was also helped by being given an uncontested lead."

More Time Tim, found out by a step up in class at Epsom last time, bounced back to winning form for trainer Jim Boyle when taking the 7f handicap under Pat Cosgrave, the 7-1 shot scoring by a length from Bond City.
