TRAINER William Jarvis will be hopeful of more success this week as he sends a handful of runners out from his Phantom House base.

Tomorrow Monaco Dream is among 13 declarations for a 1m2f maiden on the Lingfield turf course.

The daughter of Hawk Wing will be having her third run having finished third on her debut at Lingfield back in February and eighth was last seen in action at Goodwood.

Jarvis said: “She ran well on the all-weather at Lingfield but slightly disappointed at Goodwood on her second start.

“I am hoping that 1m2f sees her in a better light. It is a very hot race but hopefully she runs well.”

On Friday Jarvis is hoping to run Archie Rice at Epsom in the 7f handicap.

This taking son of Arch had a very promising juvenile career which culminated in a good sixth in Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot last October.

He should be sharper for his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket and connections are hoping he can be competitive.

On the same day Royal Willy is a confirmed runner in a mile handicap at Wolverhampton.

Plantation Stud’s Age of Couture will have her third career start in a 7f maiden at Doncaster on Friday.

Steve Drowne will get the leg-up on the chestnut filly by Hold That Tiger who has had two previous starts at Folkestone and Beverly.

Jarvis added: “We have been delighted to see Kevin and Jo Hickman who are over  from New Zealand for a couple of months. They own In The Mood and yesterday we had a very enjoyable morning visiting Brook Stud to see their mare and her filly foal by Librettist who we hope will arrive at Phantom House in October 2010.”
