Verdict
Ojala bids for a hat-trick of handicap wins having returned to action with a success at Lingfield. She’s upped in class off a 3lb higher mark for this and MORNING HAS BROKEN is preferred. The latter defied a penalty to beat an odds-on favourite in novice company at Lingfield and David Elsworth’s filly can go in again with Ryan Moore on board. Windsor Cross finished fourth behind The British Lion, who runs in the previous race, earlier in the week while Motown Mick was runner-up in this grade a fortnight ago and races off the same mark.
