Kinane shines as Blini books Guineas ticket

MICK KINANE gave 12-1 winner Donna Blini a typically masterful ride to claim the Sky Bet Cheveley Park Stakes for the second year running at Newmarket.

Trainer Brian Meehan now has his sights firmly set upon next year's Stan James-sponsored 1000 Guineas after Kinane kicked ahead of his rivals over one furlong out.

And the ground the Irishman pinched at that point proved decisive as the game filly held off the late challenges of Wake Up Maggie and favourite Flashy Wings by a neck and the same.
