8.10 Lingfield - Hilltop, Kaori and Mojito contest trappy affair

Hilltop, Kaori and Mojito contest a trappy-looking Download The At The Races App Fillies' Handicap at Lingfield.

Top weight Hilltop is a consistent performer who ran another solid race when third over this course and distance in May and should give another bold bid off the same mark.

George Boughey's Kaori is a lightly raced type who is yet to win in five starts. She wasn't beaten far when third at Yarmouth and drops back to seven furlongs with the hope of more to offer under Billy Loughnane.

Mojito ran out an impressive winner on her penultimate run at Doncaster before disappointing when favourite at Salisbury and has a bit to prove here.

2.25 Worcester - Red-hot Regal Renaissance seeks a four-timer

Regal Renaissance seeks a fourth success on the bounce as she takes on eight rivals in this Land O Plums Clives Of Copthorne Handicap Chase at Worcester.

Jack Jones' in-form mare landed her final start for trainer Henry Daly in May and has two wins from two starts for her new connections. She stayed on strongly when outpointing Fringill Dike at Market Rasen and this looks a good opportunity to follow up despite a 2lb rise.

Harry Hope looks a danger for the Ben Pauling and Jones combination. He has an excellent strike-rate over fences and should strip fitter for his last outing at Stratford.

Axel Bleue scored over this track and trip 21 days ago and remains unexposed over fences.

4.00 Worcester - Last-time winners Media Mogul and Playful Fox clash

Last-time winners Media Mogul and Playful Fox clash in a competitive Dolphin Tec Handicap Hurdle at 4pm.

Media Mogul recorded a first hurdling success when challenging late over this course and distance last month and makes appeal as he heads into handicaps off a mark 105.

Playful Fox represents the powerful Skelton team and is another who arrives on the back of a victory at Stratford. That was his debut win over hurdles, and he looks well-suited to this two-mile distance.

Others to note include Jamie Snowden's Kernie d'Airy, who got off the mark at the third attempt over jumps here last month and is another who makes his handicap debut. Ez Tiger ran well in second over this course and distance last month and goes again today, with Bryan Carver retaining the ride.

Best of the rest

Back at Lingfield, Emma's Letter will be fancied to give Ed Dunlop and Billy Loughnane a positive start to proceedings in the attheraces.com/marketmovers Handicap (6.10pm). This three-year-old daughter of Saxon Warrior has only been nudged up 3lbs for success at Nottingham the last day and with only three rivals to beat, she could go in again.

An hour later, Dreamlover represents Richard Spencer and Phil Cunningham in the Follow @attheraces On X Nursery Handicap. Connections will be hoping a return to five furlongs will pay dividends for this gelding, who drops significantly down in class for this assignment. Romidijo found just one too good at Chepstow the last day and could also relish the drop in distance.

The 7.40pm Free Race Replays On attheraces.com Novice Stakes sees the 89-rated Asuka take on Coilltedudeisback and Yazoo. George Boughey's charge is likely to go off a very short price in the colours of the late Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.
