EBOR runner-up Rosika has enough about her to deliver the goods in the EBF Cockney Rebel First Crop Success River Eden Fillies’ Stakes at Lingfield.
Sir Michael Stoute’s filly has bags of stamina and has shown this summer that Listed glory should be cosily within her radar.
After all, the Park Hill at Doncaster was mooted as a potential next port of call when she turned in a stout staying display to finish second at York in August.
The daughter of Sakhee should be suitably revved-up following a late-summer breather and has enough class to pocket this prize.
With the season now in its dying embers, connections will also be keener than ever to get some more black type.
Super Sleuth can finally exorcise an incredulous winless hex in the EBF Normandie Stud Fleur De Lys Fillies’ Stakes.
It is almost unthinkable that Brian Meehan’s filly has yet to get her nose in front after 10 tries.
But that is the glum reality ahead of her outing in this Listed race, which has attracted a rather humdrum gathering given the prizemoney on offer.
Super Sleuth’s engagement in this one-mile affair therefore looks a logical piece of placing on behalf of the Meehan camp.
That said, the Selkirk filly still arrives in Surrey with plenty to prove.
She has not really kicked on from her salad days, in which the filly finished a narrow second in the Fred Darling and third in the 1000 Guineas.
There is, however, a degree of optimism that the old fires still burn brightly, even though more was probably expected of her at Leicester last time out.
Super Sleuth was undoubtedly unsuited by the stopstart gallop on her return from a 118-day absence, finishing two lengths behind the smart Long Lashes.
There is fulsome pace running throughout this race, though, so that should not be an issue.
Meehan’s charge was well supported at Leicester so any significant market move should be seized upon, with her ability to act on the Fibresand an obvious likelihood given her rich American pedigree.
Less glittering action at Wolverhampton, meanwhile, where Desert Recluse looks the solution to the Bet Asian Handicaps - Betdaq Handicap.
Runshan’s progress should also be monitored in the River Avon Handicap Chase at Stratford.
The 10-year-old chestnut has not won for an age, but consistently finishes on the podium and has been given a glimmer of hope by the assessor.
His staying-on second at Kempton - his first foray since March - would suggest David Bridgwater has done the right thing by ramping him up to three and a half miles.
Space Cowboy reserves his best form for Fontwell and should be followed with earnest in the Express Printing Handicap Chase.
Gary Moore’s 10-year-old is three times a winner at the West Sussex track, finishing in the money on seven occasions, and should be springheeled for this assignment.
The versatile gelding is rated 106 over hurdles but looks poised to exploit a far more lenient mark over fences judged by his fair second at Plumpton earlier this month.
