Wrea Green is one of the latest names to enter Peter Naughton's Notebook after an eye-catching effort at Beverley - get the latest update here.
Envol De La Cour is fancied to exploit a favourable rating of 103 in the 2m7f handicap hurdle at Bangor on Tuesday. The selection didn't quite stay 3m at Southwell after travelling sweetly before turning for home. In addition, he may have need that first start after a six-month absence.
Lady Celia has been a revelation for the Notebook and bids to continue a remarkable campaign in the coming days. Connections have four options between Saturday and Tuesday, so watch the entries closely (she's in at Ripon/Saturday, Nottingham/Sunday, Ayr & Wolverhampton/Tuesday).
Autumnal ground suits this speedy filly, who ran well when second over 5f at Hamilton last month. Equally effective over 6f, rain would increase her chance this time.
Conversely, Jim Goldie is hoping for a dry spell for Call Me Ginger ahead of Haydock's Saturday card. The Notebook horse disappointed in the Ayr Bronze Cup but his trainer is confident of gaining quick recompense in this 6f handicap. Backed into 5-1 favouritism last weekend, Call Me Ginger was reportedly unsuited by the conditions, which the trainer described as " dead, autumnal ground".
The groundstaff at Ayr have worked tirelessly to improve conditions since enduring drainage problems two years ago but haven't been helped by recent heavy rainfall.
Golide added: " The water table at Ayr is high and the heavy dew each morning contributed to the ground riding slow.
" I've entered him at Haydock this week but they put tons and tons of sand into the turf when revamping the course a few years ago, so it drains very well indeed these days.
" Call Me Ginger didn't act on the ground at Ayr but he's definitely capable of winning on drier ground."
Here are two additions to the Naughton Notebook;
King Ragnar is remarkably consistent and just failed to reel in Nicklaus in the 1m handicap at Yarmouth on Wednesday.
The winner was given a very astute ride by the peerless Tom Marquand, who dominated a race lacking an obvious front-runner.
King Ragnar deserves plenty of credit for his strong finishing effort and this reliable three-year-old proved he stays this trip.
He faded in the closing stages on his first attempt at the distance at Redcar two weeks earlier but that was on soft ground.
A dry autumn will increase his chance of success.
Across the card, Wrea Green made a hugely promising debut when a fast-finishing second to hot favourite Cottam Lane in the 5f Novice at Beverley.
The winner was four lengths ahead of quality notebook horse Burning Cash at Hamilton on debut two weeks earlier and the latter boosted the form when a highly creditable fourth in the Group Two Flying Childers at Doncaster.
Wrea Green is a sister to sprint winner Melrose Way and the dam (Winter's Night) was Listed-placed. Tim Easterby's juvenile's improve markedly with experience and this classy daughter of Mayson put in very good late work.
Running in the colours of the sire's owner David Armstrong, the filly dwelt in the stalls and raced in rear before gradually learning what to do and flying past the post.
There is more to come.
