Honey Bell twinkles for spectators in Fillies Guineas at Ngong

Rail-skimming on an empty seam, Honey Bell Orange tootled past Daisy, Twyford, and Bampton, to seal a Guineas/Fillies Double Classis, for Lady Spencer. 

Lesley Sercombe did just enough on Honey Bell to have the joints in placid order upon completion. In fact, all jockeys respected the severity of inflexible ground, as can be seen by some of the length-placing accruements.

James Muhindi, Lesley, and Doctor Patsy Sercombe, shared trebles, with Paul Kiarie filling in the Gambler gap, for Julie and Stewart McCann.
