Mudeer can carry Godolphin's silks to yet another victory in the listed James Seymour Stakes over 10 furlongs at Newmarket today.
The son of Warning was one of the better juveniles last season, winning his first two starts before finding Saratoga Springs just a short head too good in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.
However, the colt struggled in better company during the first half of this term, finishing well beaten in both the Prix Lupin and French Derby.
Not much was heard of him until his reappearance at the last meeting here when he showed much improved form to finish second to Haami in a nine-furlong listed contest.
He should have no problems staying the extra distance here and can land the nap in what appears a pretty weak event.
There would hardly be a dry eye in the house if Further Flight won the NGK Spark Plugs Stubbs Rated Stakes Handicap, the Showcase Race at Newmarket.
However, the popular 12-year-old has not been at his best recently and is likely to struggle against Etterby Park.
The Mark Johnston-trained gelding has been in excellent form this season, winning at Yarmouth in September and finishing second to Spirit Of Love in the Tote Cesarewitch at the last meeting here.
He may have been beaten nine lengths by his stable companion but he battled on gamely to keep the runner-up's spot and time may prove that he faced an impossible task against the extremely promising winner.
Elegant Lady can make a winning handicap debut in the H & K Commissions Nursery. The daughter of Selkirk has shown clear signs of ability on her three runs to date, fading to finish fourth behind Al Naba over six furlongs on her last appearance.
Speed appears to be the John Gosden-trained filly's main asset so the drop down to the minimum trip can see Elegant Lady strike winning form.
At Newcastle, My Desperado can complete a quick hat-trick for trainer Lee Lloyd-James in the Northern Racing Handicap.
The five-year-old sprung a 50 to 1 surprise at Pontefract last week and followed up with a smooth victory in a classified stakes at Redcar on Tuesday.
Following a mare in form at this time of year often pays dividends and she can defy a 6lb penalty.
The George Moore-trained Petersen House is on the upgrade and can make it four wins on the trot in the Demmy Bookmaker Four Year Old Handicap Hurdle at Wetherby.
And promising novice hurdler Marlborough can make a winning debut over fences in the Thomas Frost Shopfitters Novice Chase at Towcester for trainer Henry Daly.
Richard Dunwoody, contracted to owner Robert Ogden this season, turned up at Stratford yesterday for just one ride, and his obligation to partner Kingsmark in the finale, the second division of the Banks's Festival Ale Maiden Hurdle, reaped its reward.
Kingsmark, placed in a bumper last season, drew clear two out to beat Lucky Master by 10 lengths. The 7 to 4 favourite's trainer, Oliver Sherwood, said: "He was a bit buzzy today and he will come on from the race mentally.
"I love this type of horse, they never set the world alight at home and then they do it on the racecourse.
Zamhareer, bought for just 8,000 guineas by trainer Richard Ford at Doncaster Sales last week, looks a real bargain after romping home in the Freedom Maintenance Amateur Riders Handicap Hurdle at Sedgefield yesterday.
"I didn't have an owner for him but I liked him so much that I had to buy him. He ran today in my father-in-law's name but he is for sale to stay in the yard," said Ford.
