Peter Savill's smart homebred stayer Moonrise Landing (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) is ready to make her seasonal debut in a conditions race at Lingfield on Saturday. The 6-year-old mare is on a six race winning streak and was last seen beating subsequent Group 1 winner Quest For More (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in a listed race at York last May before sustaining a stress fracture that has kept her off the racecourse since. “Moonrise Landing is in good shape. She has come to hand quicker than imagined and I am looking forward to running her on Saturday,” said her trainer Ralph Beckett. Having won the valuable All-Weather Marathon Championship at Lingfield last year Moonrise Landing has already shown her affinity for the Polytrack and her trainer would like to give her the opportunity to see how far she can progress on grass this season. “We would like to aim her at the Cup races this year. We haven't pushed her and she has done it all on her own so I am hopeful that she will run if not up to her best, as she will be a bit ring rusty, then close to it,” Beckett added.
