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.

A previous edition of Turf Notes highlighted Mecca's Angel as an impressive winner at Thirsk last month.
Michael Dods' sprinter won again on Sunday 4 May at Hamilton, coming home eight lengths ahead of Eccleston in the 5f conditions stakes (3.00). Although the price of 10/11 was not one to make you rich.

The grey filly Mecca's Angel made a winning start to the season with a decisive victory in the five furlong sprint at Thirsk on Saturday (5.10).
Michael Dods' three-year-old was very consistent last season and is now 3/6 in wins over five furlongs.
She was twice second in Listed races last season and had no problem giving weight to her rivals back in a handicap on Saturday, coming clear by 4 1/2 lengths.
The filly has no future entries at the time of writing.
