13:50 (Lingfield) Kinako Mochi

Kinako Mochi chased home the ill-fated Hellfire Bay on her only start to date and she takes the eye returning from a lay off in the Win £2,000,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Fillies’ Novice Stakes.

Beaten just over a length in second, four subsequent winners finished behind her that day, including the admirable Woodhay Wonder who went on to place at Group Two level and win two richly-endowed sales events.

A 350,000 guineas as a yearling, the Roger Varian-trained Kinako Mochi holds an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry and should be more than capable of winning something like this.

 

14:25 (Lingfield) Aljari

Aljari can thrive for a return to seven furlongs in the Stay Golden With BetMGM Safer Gambling Handicap.

Tom Clover sent him over six for his first start of 2024 and while he kept on to be third, beaten just a length, he did not have that extra bit of sprinting pace on the all weather.

Moving back up looks a wise move off an unchanged mark of 88.

 

15:35 (Lingfield) Baileys Warrior 

Baileys Warrior brings strong form from last month with a Wolverhampton second preceding another runner-up effort at Kempton tackling the trip seven days later.

Foinix ran well in a course and distance handicap finishing second among this company on Friday and holds every chance.

New York Bay won a 1m5f handicap at Chelmsford two runs ago and should go on the shortlist along with Triple Nickle.

 

16:45 (Lingfield) Night On Earth

Night On Earth arrives in strong form following a course and distance handicap second beaten only a nose preceding a track and trip handicap success by 1L at this level last month.

Star Of Lady was a good second that day behind the main selection and could prove a danger again.

Harb ran well at this venue finishing behind the pair in the aforementioned handicap when third and should be on the shortlist too.

Level Up has been going nicely in recent attempts, so is worth a second look.
