3.00 Lingfield - Naval College battles Treble Joy in warm Novice event

Her Majesty The Queen will be hoping to add another winner to her tally as Naval College aims to get off the mark at the fourth attempt for trainer Sir Michael Stoute in the Follow AtTheRaces On Twitter Novice Stakes (3.00pm) at Lingfield.

The three-year-old maiden has run with credit on all three of his starts this year, finishing a promising fourth on debut at Nottingham before finding just one too good at Salisbury and Yarmouth.

His Derby-winning handler has since given the son of Dartmouth a longer break (97 days) and he steps up to a mile-and-a-half, with the exciting booking of top rider Ryan Moore.

Moore could well deny his father Gary a winner here as the trainer saddles Treble Joy, himself a runner-up on his last two starts including over this course and distance behind the exciting Open Champion earlier this month.

The only previous winner in the nine-runner field is Richard Hughes' Lion's Dream, successful on his sole track appearance to date at Chelmsford last month.

She completed a treble of victories earlier this season, starting with success over this course and distance in March.

Of her rivals, Sean Woods' Glorious Peaches could be dangerous on her handicap debut off a mark of 71 after scoring at the third attempt over the mile at Southwell last month.

Meanwhile, Cromarty is an intriguing inclusion as she makes a first start since October, with David Simcock hopeful a wind operation can help following three disappointing starts as a two-year-old.
