Elterwater is a mare right at the top of her game and looks difficult to oppose in the Unibet 40,000+ Live Streamed Events Fillies' Handicap at Kempton on Monday.
Trained by Daniel and Claire Kubler, the five-year-old has really come to herself in recent months and when a filly or mare is on a roll, it is usually worth sticking with them.
It took her eight attempts to get off the mark and then she was second twice before winning back at Chelmsford off an 8lb higher mark.
She defied a 5lb penalty a few days later and most recently won just as easily with an extra 4lb on her back.
Up another 4lb, and crucially up in grade, she faces her stiffest task to date but there was no sign of her golden run ending when we last saw her.
Simon and Ed Crisford's Spitzbergen did everything but win on his only start at two when second at Chelmsford.
Caught wide on the home turn, he had to make his challenge at the hottest part of the race, from the furthest point.
It was no surprise perhaps that in the last 50 yards his run just petered out and Initial Blue got the better of him by a short head, with the winner's previous experience vital.
It will take an above-average recruit to stop him going one better in the Thorley Taverns Maiden Stakes.
The benefit of having a run can prove the difference for Richard Hannon's Private Affair in the Kempton Park Commemorates VE Day Novice Stakes.
He will improve for going up in trip, probably sooner rather than later, but showed enough when only beaten by Inca Heights on debut at Newbury that a race like this is his for the taking.
Craig Lidster's Ubetterseethis sets a decent standard in the EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes at Beverley.
Incredibly green in the early stages on his Pontefract debut, he was only sixth turning into the straight, when the eventual winner had hit the front already.
The fact he only lost out in a head-bobbing finish suggests the penny really dropped in the closing stages and he can take a good step forward.
Archie Watson could barely have his string in better form and one horse who has contributed to that is Commanding Prince.
He goes in search of a third win in the Monarch Classic Concours Arts & Elegance Handicap at Bath, with his sole defeat to date coming when he was second on debut at Southwell, beaten a head. The winner, Surrey Shadow, was a little unlucky not to win the Spring Mile.
He has not been stretched to win twice at Newcastle since and a mark of 82 is a bit of a guess.
The fantastic finale to the jumps season may still be fresh in the mind but the new campaign is already under way and Dan Skelton will be leaving nothing to chance, taking any opportunity he can.
Belle Le Grand can win the first race of the new season at his local track, Warwick, in the racingtv.com mares' Maiden Hurdle, having run well in an Ascot bumper on her first start for new connections. - Press Association
