Asadna can put Royal Ascot disappointment behind him with victory in the IRE-Incentive - It Pays To Buy Irish Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury.
The Mehmas colt produced a staggering performance on his racecourse debut for George Boughey at Ripon in May, powering 12 lengths clear of his toiling rivals.
While the form is open to question, the rapid time he clocked in North Yorkshire is not and he lined up as a leading contender for last month's Coventry Stakes.
Asadna's supporters knew their fate from an early stage at the Royal meeting as the youngster was under pressure a long way from home and in the end passed the post in ninth place, beaten six lengths.
It later transpired he had suffered a minor setback in his preparation and he has since switched stables to join Alice Haynes, who like Boughey has proved her skills with precocious juveniles.
Asadna remains a colt of significant promise and is taken to stamp his class on this Listed event.
Betties Bay can make the most of having her sights lowered in the opening bet365 British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes. The Georgina Nicholls-trained juvenile shaped with huge encouragement when filling the runner-up spot over the course and distance in early June, beaten two lengths by Mapmaker.
That effort prompted connections to have an ambitious tilt at Royal Ascot glory in the Queen Mary and while a 15th-placed finish does not look good on paper, she was fourth on her side of the track.
Mapmaker was also down the field at the Royal meeting in the Albany, but has won again at Newbury since, giving Betties Bay's debut run an even more solid look. She should prove hard to beat as she bids to open her account at the third time of asking.
Irish raider Night Sparkle must be followed in the Uhy Ross Brooke Chartered Accountants Fillies' Handicap.
The daughter of Postponed won once and was placed five times for Simon and Ed Crisford last season and was subsequently snapped up to go jumping with Michael O'Callaghan.
She made it third time lucky over hurdles at Punchestown in May before successfully reverting to the Flat with a dominant success at Fairyhouse last month.
With her confidence high, Night Sparkle can defy a 10lb higher mark on her return to Britain. Prince Alex may be able to notch a second win at Haydock in the Birchwood Handicap.
It is the best part of three years since the six-year-old won over this track and trip, since when he has plundered a couple of valuable handicaps at York and Goodwood respectively.
He has not managed to get his head in front since the latter of those victories in the summer of 2021 and following previous spells with Ralph Beckett, Michael Bell and Johnny Murtagh, he joined Tom Dascombe prior to the start of the current campaign.
Prince Alex has run two sound races in defeat for his new trainer, most recently finishing fourth at Newmarket, and is likely to appreciate this return to an easier surface.
A slight ease in the weights to a perch of 85, 4lb below his last winning mark, has allowed him to get into this slightly lower grade under top-weight and he can make the most of the opportunity.
Chesspiece can confirm his superiority over Circle Of Fire in the British EBF 40th Anniversary Glasgow Stakes at Hamilton.
The pair finished third and fourth respectively behind the exciting Gregory in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, with Chesspiece just over a length in front of Circle Of Fire.
There is unlikely to be much between them again in Scotland, but Chesspiece may just have the edge, with a drop back in trip to a 11 furlongs expected to see him in a better light.
Wild Goddess will take some stopping in the Pertemps Medical Radiography Fillies' Novice Stakes at Newmarket.
Charlie Appleby's charge blew the start when favourite on her introduction at Haydock a couple of weeks ago, but showed enough thereafter - making late gains to finish a close-up fourth - to suggest she can reward those who keep the faith. - Press Association
