Turf notes: 9 May 2014

Two winners at Chester's May festival have given a strong boost to Mecca's Angel's recent good win at Thirsk.

In Friday's five furlong sprint (3.15) Blithe Spirit (11/4) made all the running to win by 2 3/4 lengths from Viva Verglas.

On Thursday The Hooded Claw (6/1) took the six furlong handicap (4.25).

Both horses had finished behind Mecca's Angel in the five furlong sprint (5.10) on Thirsk's card on 12 April.
