Chiclet bids to provide Tracey Collins with a fairytale first success at Epsom in the Investec Corporate Banking 'Dash' on Saturday.

After filling the runner-up spot in five of her first eight starts last year, the daughter of former stable star Dandy Man was not winning out of turn when signing off for the year with victory at Navan, and has picked up where she left off.

The four-year-old bolted up on her return to action at Dundalk in early April and had little trouble following up at the all-weather circuit three weeks later.

She returns to turf in search of a four-timer, with Collins excited to be saddling her first runner on the Downs.

"I'm looking forward to it. I've never been to Epsom before, so it will be a new experience, but it's one that I'm relishing," said the County Kildare handler.

"She's in good form and it's a race we've had mapped out for her for a while now. Whether she's good enough to win it, we'll find out on the day, but she definitely deserves to be there.

"She has a lot of speed, she was very fast in Dundalk there the last day, and I think the faster they go the better it will suit her. Good, fast ground should be fine for her."
