Our gallops reporter gets the latest from Mick Channon's yard in Lambourn and Sir Michael Stoute's Newmarket stable.
Mick Channon is reaping a bountiful harvest with his juveniles but standard bearer CHILWORTH ICON will be one of the horses that carry highest hopes of victory next week.
The four-year-old came good last time and looks set for a trip to Yarmouth for another all-aged handicap.
He's looked in top fettle since that confidence-boosting triumph.
In the two-year-old division EUTHENIA breezed happily up the main all-weather on Saturday morning.
She has proved hard to win with, but appears to hold solid claims in the fillies' nursery at Bath.
CONSTABLE BUCKLEY shaped very well on his debut and has delighted connections in his subsequent work.
He looks poised for a warm maiden at Sandown next Wednesday.
POPESWOOD May have found a competitive York handicap coming too soon after his cosy triumph in an identical race at Sandown.
Much of the gallops in and around Newmarket were shrouded in fog.
The same was true at Long Hill where Sir Michael Stoute sent some juveniles.
DARTMOUTH has gone forward for a satisfactory debut effort at Goodwood and is one to note.
SWAHEEN could find his forte in nurseries.
