Sweet success means Easy Peeler unlikely to make quick return
Having seen off Lady Of Andros to win the class two handicap, attention swiftly turned to the valuable Churchill Tyres Supporting Macmillan Sprint Handicap for which she is declared.
However, Sean Quinn feels she might have done enough for the week.
He said: 'My gut feeling is she's won a big race, it's a very warm day and she got warm before the race so she's expended a lot of energy.

'She's a filly we like, so I don't think we need to come again tomorrow because we don't really need to. She's won a good race there.
'She's progressing nicely. She's running in some nice handicaps at the moment, but she was bred by Whitsbury Manor Stud who have Havana Grey and they've leased her to Hot To Trot (owning syndicate), so she'll end up back there as a broodmare and they'd love to get black type. That's a little way from our minds at the moment.'
David Egan was predicting a bright future for India Love (13-2) after the George Boughey-trained filly made a winning debut in the Juddmonte EBF Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes.
The more experienced Bleep Test made a bold bid from the front but despite racing keenly early on, India Love still had enough left to win by a neck.
'She's been keen at home and shown plenty of enthusiasm so cover was the plan today and I'm glad we got it. I think it's just a case of she's very, very quick,' said Egan.
'She'll get faster with that run and even though she was on it early on, she was very well behaved in the prelims which is half the battle.
'In a stronger race they'll go even fast. She's a nice filly. For a Havana Grey she was very well bought for £55,000 guineas and she'd done everything right at home.'
Andrea Pinna rode his first York winner when bringing Feel The Need with a sustained run down the outside in the Andy Thornton Hospitality Furniture 50th Anniversary Apprentice Handicap.
Having just his second ride on the Knavesmire, Pinna, who rides primarily for Kevin Frost, had been booked by Michael Herrington for the five-year-old.
The 13-2 chance just got the better of course specialist Tolstoy to win by a neck.
'I saw the favourite edging closer so I just followed him and if the ground was a bit softer he would have won easier,' said Pinna.
'I wanted to drop in and see if a couple of gaps opened up, but I couldn't see any so I just stayed on that line and he galloped on strong.
'He likes this track and soft ground suits him better.'

Inside Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale's bizarre rows and split as he insists they're 'back on'
Ex- Liverpool footballer Andy Carroll has revealed that his relationship with Lou Teasdale is back on and vows to cut back on drinking to avoid booze fuelled rows Former England footballer Andy Carroll has revealed that his rocky relationship with make-up artist Lou Teasdale is back on track, following their split last week. The estranged husband of TOWIE star Billi Mucklow, who he shares three children with, has attributed booze-fuelled rows as the cause of their tumultuous relationship. At the time of the couple's split, it was reported that Andy had dumped Lou after growing tired of her high maintenance behaviour. However, according to the Daily Mail, it was reportedly the other way round as Lou was the one to call time on their romance. It comes after Andy finally broke his silence on Saturday as he issued a huge relationship update. In a candid interview with the Sun on Sunday, the former Premiere League star,36, admitted: "I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple." Addressing the status of his divorce from Billi, Andy, who also has two children from a previous relationship, added: "Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce. Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life." Andy continued: "We're better off together and we're trying to work through our difficulties." The couple had been together for more than a year before their split. And at the time they unfollowed each other from social media. Andy even went as far as to erase all trace of Lou from his Instagram account. Since their reunion, the couple resumed their trademark loved up posts of each other. Last week, an insider revealed to the Daily Mail: "It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. " They went on to say: "She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together." The source insisted that she was left "very upset" with regards to the arguments they endured before the split. Andy reportedly flew to Ibiza on a private jet despite the fact he had no idea where she was staying. Before they agreed to work on their relationship, the insider told the publication that Andy would have believed his huge gesture would win her over immediately but apparently Lou would be unimpressed. The source continued: "All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward." Andy had been playing football in France for two years before returning to the UK to play for Dagenham and Redbridge. One of the couple's arguments were in public and was witnessed by a restaurant worker. Things between the pair reportedly became heated, to the point where police were called. A worker at the Nikolus Tavern in Greece told The Sun on Sunday: "He [Andy] seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. He was using very bad words. They added: "It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset." The police spoke to Andy and later allowed him to return to Lou. The worker continued: "Police spoke to him. He was allowed to return, and the couple left after paying for their meal. Andy was very calm when the police arrived — he stood up and spoke to them outside the restaurant." In a joint statement given to The Sun, it read: "Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to "look after" us. The couple added: "As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter." When Andy was bought by Liverpool football club from Newcastle for £35million, he became one of the UK's most expensive Premiere League footballers.

'Banana skin avoided' or a 'sign of better things to come'
We asked for your views on Aberdeen's 3-0 win against Greenock Morton in the Scottish League what some of you said: Fred: Hopefully this win will give the team some much needed confidence as they tackle a hard challenge in I wouldn't get carried away, Morton were not very good. That said it was good to get a win on the board and for Kusini Yengi to get a goal, that will hopefully boost his confidence. Thursday will be a far greater A banana skin was avoided so we move on to the next game. I do have my concerns that we don't have enough quality to do well in Europe however if they prove me wrong I'll be a happy You can only beat what's in front of you and we did that, it was also pleasing to keep a clean sheet. Leighton Clarkson's goal was the way I was expecting Jimmy Thelin to try and get us playing, so that was a pleasing goal and also a very excellent finish!Samuel: Yengi off the mark! Hopefully a sign of better things to come and more proficiency in front of goal for both him and the rest of the team. Motherwell in the next round will be tough but at least we're at home!Geoff: I have been critical but it is still a three-year project and we must be patient and trust in Jimmy to see it through or we are right back in the average manager rollercoaster days!

Where Changing Rooms' Handy Andy is now from marriage to unrecognisable new look
Handy Andy - real name Andy Kane - was a hugely popular member of the Changing Rooms team with viewers. But what has he been up to since he left the show in 2004? Popular 90s DIY show Changing Rooms was a firm favourite on our screens, but the cast look very different to nowadays. Viewers of the BBC show tuned in weekly to see the team take on some major home transformations, making the stars of the show household names in the process. Hosted by Carol Smillie, Changing Rooms drew in a whopping 10 million viewers at its peak on BBC One and created some iconic moments - who can forget when a £6,000 teapot collection was destroyed in one fell swoop by a floating shelf in series 8? Designers Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Linda Barker, and Anna Ryder Richardson were the ones tasked with helping members of the public transform a room in someone else's house - be it a friend, family member or neighbour. And then to help them make it a reality, the show's handyman, Handy Andy (Andy Kane) swooped in. DIY expert Andy appeared on the show from 1996-2004 and was a key player in the transformation process. But what has he been up to in the years since? After the show ended, Andy landed a role on the American version of the programme, named Trading Spaces, and he also presented three shows for UK Style, Room Rival , Garden Rivals and Streetcombers. READ MORE: Dancing on Ice's biggest scandals - from headbanger horror to bullying allegations One of his biggest programmes was Increase Your House Price By Ten Grand, which saw Andy work with a team to increase a house's value by £10,000 in just three days with a £1,000 budget. Andy has also appeared on I'm Famous And Frightened, Cirque de Celebrite and The Adam And Joe Show, and he has hosted a number of BBC Primary Geography programmes since 2008. He is happily married to his wife Geraldine and together they have four children. Andy was a popular member of the team and the chatty Cockney proved to be a big hit with viewers too. While he frequently impressed with his DIY, it didn't always go to plan, and he later spoke about his most major mishap - when the teapot collection was destroyed. Designer Linda had commissioned a floating shelf to house them but weighed it down with heavy books, causing the shelf to collapse overnight. Andy told the Metro: "It went wrong because they put too much weight on it. The shelf was obviously just for show and just the teapots on it would have been fine, but then they started loading up with books at the bottom. "I did say at the time that books are very heavy but they carried on and you know, it's one of them things. When it happened, it was really, really awful, everyone felt really bad, but now you just laugh about it. But it was good entertainment, wasn't it? "In other episodes of the show they'd mount chairs on the wall or hang chairs from ceilings and as a builder, you're like 'really?!', but that's interior design for you."
