CONFILS is fancied to double up in the Cazoo Handicap (2.55) at Bath.
The course and distance winner arrives here at the top of his game, having taken a Brighton handicap in fine style 21 days ago.
In a race in which few of the runners were able to get involved, the selection picked up well to overtake leader Goddess Of Fire – and gallop clear by a comfortable four lengths.
That was the son of Olympic Glory's first victory for more than two years, off a mark which had been eased by the handicapper.
Back up 6lb, he is now rated 66, which is in range given the manner of his most recent performance.
Oisin Murphy, firmly on course for a hat-trick of jockeys' championships, has an excellent chance aboard Read Hollie Doyle's Column On attheraces.com Handicap (4.00) runner MOSTALLIM.
Three times a winner this season, the four-year-old has thrived during a busy campaign and is a consistent performer at this level.
Defeated narrowly last time out, he was pipped at the post which shows he is ready to strike again from his current berth with the assessor.
Over jumps, ESPINATOR is on a roll with the Racing Partnership Novices' Handicap Hurdle (3.10) coming up next.
There should be more to come over this afternoon's longer trip, as plenty of use has been made of him at shorter this season.
