Pam Sly sets sights on Park Hill at the Leger meeting.

Eileendover  is set to chase Group-race honours after opening her account under Flat rules.

The four-year-old filly appreciated the step to a mile and three-quarters when powering clear in the closing stages to be Single by three lengths in a handicap at Newmarket.

That was her fourth run on the level after she won three of her four bumpers, including a Listed contest at Market Rasen.

Eileendover will not go jumping, with trainer Pam Sly concentrating on the Flat, and the Group Two Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster next month the target.

"She was a little stiff afterwards, but she's fine. She's had a couple of canters and hopefully we're going to Doncaster for the Park Hill," said Sly.

"As long as she's OK we'll go there. That race isn't an early closer. We didn't know where we were going because I had to get her handicapped.

"I don't think she'll go jumping, especially not now she's shown she can do it on the Flat.

"I think there's another race for her over one-mile-six in October."
