Timeform UK SmartPlays: Friday April 3

Lingfield 14:40 - Tempus Temporis

Tempus Temporis made little impact on his first three outings, but his form has taken off since being fitted with blinkers, winning by wide margins at both Kempton and Chelmsford. The manner in which Tempus Temporis stormed clear at Chelmsford last time left a deep impression, and he can continue to climb up the ladder by taking this en route to making his mark in pattern company later in the season.

Lingfield 15:15 - Sovereign Debt

Captain Joy and Mindurownbusiness have developed likeable all-weather profiles, and are expected to go well, but it's worth remembering that Sovereign Debt found only Farhh too good in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes two seasons ago, and plenty of ability evidently remains intact based on his victory at Wolverhampton last time, when he finished powerfully to overhaul a very smart rival. That win came over seven furlongs, but the return to a mile will pose no problems for Sovereign Debt and he can make his class count.

Lingfield 16:45 - Anglophile

This looks like being fought out between the Godolphin pair of Anglophile and Hidden Gold, with preference given to the former as he created such a taking impression when storming clear to win over C&D last time. Anglophile had displayed progressive middle-distance form prior to bolting up last time - on his first start at a near-two-mile trip - and his speed can prove a potent weapon against these more-established stayers.
