DOUBLE: Alexandros and Dragonessa.

Alexandros can keep the Godolphin bandwagon rolling along with victory in the PHS Washroom Sanitiser Range Conditions Stakes at Nottingham on Wednesday.

The classy colt, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, turned in a top-drawer performance in the Group One Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May when he was short-headed by Virtual.

Though he has been off the track since disappointing in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot, he looks in a different league to his rivals.

The son of Kingmambo probably needed some time off as he had been on the go all winter, having three races at Nad Al Sheba culminating in a third place in the Dubai Duty Free.

Despite that absence of 141 days, Alexandros is a confident selection to make up for lost time.

Dragonessa can go one better on her return to the Midlands track after finishing second there four weeks ago.

The Bryn Palling-trained filly looked the likely winner when she led a quarter of a mile out but she was headed in the closing stages by Gypsy Jazz, going down by two and a quarter lengths.

A drop from six furlongs to the minimum trip can do the trick in the Airforce Low Energy Hand Dryer Nursery.

The other Flat meeting is the evening fare on Kempton's artificial surface, which features the £40,000 digibet Floodlit Stakes.

This mile-and-a-half Listed contest provides Godolphin with yet another golden opportunity of landing a decent prize.

They supply three of the seven runners, with the pick being Age Of Reason.

The son of Halling has some solid form to his name, notably when third behind stablemate Kite Wood and the globe-trotting Halicarnassus in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury in August.

A reproduction of that run would see him comfortably take this prize.

At Chepstow, Aheadofhistime can continue his love affair with the Welsh venue by registering his fifth course victory.

Three of his four wins to date have come over the extended two miles and the David Rees-trained 10-year-old is sure to give another good account in the WBX.triplecrown.com World Bet Exchange Handicap Chase - despite having his first race since May.

Alan King could not wait to send Manyriverstocross over hurdles, despite his classy Flat form, and he now gets the opportunity in the Sunshine Radio Maiden Hurdle.

The four-year-old won at Glorious Goodwood and ran a blinding race to finish sixth in the Ebor behind Sesenta.

He followed that up by finishing second behind the remarkable Nanton in the Mallard Stakes and could go to the top over timber.

Henrietta Knight always seems to unearth a classy type and Somersby could be the latest to add to the list.

For one with such limited experience, to finish third in the red-hot atmosphere of a Supreme Novices' Hurdle really was a noteworthy effort.

Aintree probably came too soon for him but he still filled the same sport behind El Dancer in a Grade Two event.

He makes an eagerly-awaited chasing debut in the Commscope And Anixter Business Partners Novices' Chase at Warwick - and should be monitored closely.
