Tamfana can strike Group One gold in the Virgin Bet Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.
David Menuisier's charge was a Group Three winner as a juvenile and has been knocking on the door at the highest level this term, most notably when an unlucky fourth in the 1000 Guineas over this 1600m back in May.
Subsequently third in the Prix de Diane and fourth to Arc favourite Sosie when tackling 2400m in the Grand Prix de Paris, Menuisier's decision to drop right back to 1600m for the Group Three Atalanta Stakes last time paid dividends as Tamfana secured a cosy confidence-boosting win.
Admittedly this is a different level of competition, but she impressed at Sandown and appears to be in the ascendancy while perhaps one or two of her main rivals here have questions to answer.
Soft ground should be no bar to success for this German-bred filly and she can cap a fine season for Menuisier.
Morte Point is the choice in the Tattersalls October Auction Stakes.
A winner on debut in July, he was outpointed over 1200m at Ripon on his latest run in August.
It was good ground that day though and on slower conditions at Newmarket, he might find the winning groove again.
William Haggas could have a good afternoon at Ascot, with heavy ground certain to suit Hamish in the BetMGM Cumberland Lodge Stakes.
The popular nine-year-old is at his best when the mud is flying which limited his opportunities through the high summer and meant Haggas looked to the all-weather for his most recent start.
The 2400m on the Kempton Polytrack appeared a bit sharp at this point in his career, but this should be more his speed.
Wiltshire is another who should relish the testing conditions as he tackles the John Guest Racing Bengough Stakes.
Haggas takes a swift leap to Group Three company having been edged out in a Haydock handicap last time and while Wiltshire must improve to win, he is only lightly raced and has much potential.
Relief Rally's claims for the yard are much more obvious in the opening BetMGM Rous Stakes.
She will be back over her optimum trip of 1200m having just lost out over the minimum trip at Newbury last month.
Uncle Don can take a starring role at Redcar in the William Hill Two Year Old Trophy.
Richard Fahey's colt beat subsequent Group Three winner Big Mojo at Beverley back in July on his second career start, but was then off the track until lining up in a Listed heat at the Ayr Gold Cup meeting.
Second on that occasion, staying on at the finish over 1000m to suggest this nudge up to 1200m can be a positive move. - Press Association
