Prague can make a successful return to Sandown in the Davies Insurance Solutions Gala Stakes on Friday afternoon.
The four-year-old son of Galileo started out his career with Aidan O’Brien but never raced for the Ballydoyle maestro.
He switched to the care of Dylan Cunha at Newmarket earlier this season and made his racecourse debut last month at the Esher track, running out a ready winner by four lengths at odds of 40/1.
He can build on that when he steps up to Listed company and make it two from two.
Aesterius can benefit from a drop in class in the Dragon Stakes.
The Wathnan Racing-owned two-year-old ran out a convincing winner on his debut at Bath before stepping up to Group Two company at Royal Ascot.
He was prominent on the near side in the Norfolk Stakes with a high draw but chased home stablemate Shareholder when finishing fifth, just one-and-a-half lengths in arrears.
But now dropping back to Listed level, he can get his head back in front.
Sleeping Lion can get back to winning ways in the Coral Marathon over an extended two miles.
The nine-year-old has placed in a pair of runs this season on the all-weather and a switch to turf can see him return to the winner’s enclosure for the first time since February 2022.
Last seen at Kempton in May, he was only beaten by two-and-three-quarter lengths by Duty Of Care when struggling for room before being switched to the outside.
Once he found room he made headway, so he should improve for that run and come out on top in the hands of Jim Crowley.
Aegean Sea made a promising debut last month and can make his return to the track a successful one.
The two-year-old son of Kingman travelled in midfield for the majority of the race but once switched to the outside, he finished strongly and can improve on that third-placed finish to get his head in front for John and Thady Gosden.
Brave Nation can step up on a pair of second places in Doncaster’s feature Bettingsites.Co.UK Betting Sites Handicap.
After a poor run at Ascot in May, he returned to the track last month at Doncaster and was beaten only half-a-length by Hiya Maite before finding Jenever a length too good at Sandown.
But on ground to suit, victory is in his grasp.
Over obstacles, Magistrato can turn his strong summer form into victory in the Big Tolns Ferrnott, Big Day Out Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot.
The six-year-old had a second and third place finish before undergoing wind surgery in May.
He then was only three-and-three-quarter lengths adrift of Cawthorne Cracker at Stratford on his return to the track and can improve from that as he was pretty keen that day.
