DOUBLE: Saint Arch and Yahrab
Saint Arch looked a colt with a big future on his Folkestone debut and it will take a good one to beat him in the Forest Row Novice Stakes at Lingfield.
Mark Johnston's juvenile was not particularly well fancied for his racecourse introduction last month and was sent off a 10-1 chance.
Nobody told the horse, however, as he drew clear in the testing conditions to score by six lengths.
The form has been given a major boost with the subsequent success of the third home, Calaloo.
Saint Arch looks sure to get involved in the finish.
Yahrab won with a bit up his sleeve at Great Leighs in September and returns to the track for the Forbury Hotel Orient Open Conditions Stakes.
The Dalakhani colt had his limitations exposed at Listed and Group level earlier this year but showed he is still a horse to keep on the right side of with a decisive course-and-distance victory last time.
As he did then, Yahrab will have the incomparable assistance of Ryan Moore.
Although he is once again stepping out of handicap company, Clive Brittain's three-year-old has to be rated a major player.
Balzaccio lost little in defeat when second on his hurdling debut at Ludlow and has every chance of going one better in the bet365 Best Odds Juvenile Novices' Hurdle at Haydock.
Alan King's three-year-old had shown smart form on the level in France but proved no match for Resounding Glory on his first start in Britain.
The winner's subsequent success in Listed company, however, gives Balzaccio's Ludlow effort even more credence.
Hailing from a yard that does particularly well with youngsters, a victory in a race of this nature looks a formality.
Stablemate Gold Reef showed smart form in bumpers last season and can make a winning start to her new career over obstacles in the gg.com Tipzone Mares Only "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle at Towcester.
A winner on her debut, Gold Reef failed to follow up in three subsequent starts but she is probably better than the bare form suggests.
There was much to like when she finished second on her final outing of the campaign at Cheltenham in April, racing prominently before being edged out close home.
Gold Reef looks to be a horse on the upgrade and can complete a double for King.
