Up Tempo, third to the lightning-fast Superstar Leo in the Weatherbys Super Sprint, can gain compensation in the EBF thehorsesmouth.co.uk Novice Stakes at Ripon today.
The Tim Easterby-trained colt deadheated for minor honours with Threezedzz behind the mightily-impressive winner at Newbury to belie her odds of 33 to 1.
As his starting price suggests, he was ignored by most punters as he was the stable's second string to the 10 to 11 favourite Romantic Myth.
Although the Queen Mary Stakes winner had an off-day, Up Tempo gave the performance of his life at the Berkshire track.
As he was putting in his best work in the closing stages of the minimum trip, he seems sure to appreciate this extra furlong.
He did win over five furlongs at Musselburgh in May and has been placed in all his six starts. A second success is on the cards here.
Richard Whitaker's evergreen sprinter Lago Di Varano can strike over the same six furlongs by taking the day's Showcase Handicap, the Armstrong Memorial Rated Stakes.
The eight-year-old is a veteran of more than 100 races, winning 10 including two here, and is no back number just yet.
His sole success so far this term came at Haydock in June and he was in action on both days of York's July meeting finishing a respectable seventh of 23 to the Gay Fox on the latter occasion.
Refreshed by a three-week break since that last run, Lago Di Varano will be keen to return to the fray and hopefully in triumph.
Stallone is a young horse on the upgrade who can complete a four-timer in the Tommy Shedden Challenge Trophy.
The three-year-old colt, trained at Newmarket by Jeremy Noseda, has shown tremendous battling qualities in his three victories at Redcar (twice) and Newcastle.
He was unraced as a juvenile and he needed his first three starts to get the hang of the game, but now that he has it could take a little more time for the handicapper to get to grips with him.
Vent d'Aout looks the pick of Martin Pipe's runners at Newton Abbot where the six-year-old can follow up his recent course and distance victory in the Happy 70th Birthday Colin Willcocks Novices' Chase over two miles five and a half furlongs.
