Three Classic winners, the heir apparent to Charyn and the horse who followed him home recently make this season’s Lockinge Stakes unmissable. There are at least five plausible candidates and Rosallion is one of those. He may, however, be vulnerable at a short price. Rosallion proved his brilliance in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace last season, but this is his first run since the royal meeting following a respiratory issue.

Street Life has been in decent form on the all-weather over the past two months and is banked on in the opening leg (2.20) of the Placepot at Chepstow. Those with experience in the 5f maiden (2.50) set a low bar and this looks ripe for a newcomer. Too Darn Hot filly Sinj catches the eye for Richard Hannon. Our Cody, Richard Hughes's representative, also has a nice pedigree and goes in.

Street Life2.20 ChepstowThe Chepstow card opens with a 5f handicap and Street Life could provide the answer for Patrick Morris, whose horses are going well. The eight-year-old has won off much higher marks and, although his best days are behind him, his second to Midnightattheoasis two starts back is strong form at this level. That opponent was thrown in that day and is rated 25lb higher after winning his next four.

Ascot’s big-field straight-track handicaps are among the hardest races to solve and the Victoria Cup is a sighter for what is ahead in the valuable seven-furlong programme there. We can expect the Victoria Cup to have a bearing on sister races like the Buckingham Palace at the royal meeting, July’s International Stakes and the Challenge Cup in October. It may also impact the various top six-furlong and mile handicaps on the straight course throughout the campaign.

Last season’s fiercely run Huxley Stakes saw one of the great Chester performances with Passenger lowering the track record by 1.91secs. With the make-up of this field, another honest pace seems a certainty. The Foxes’s most recent victory came under forceful tactics at Newcastle. That is Bolster’s preferred style. Cairo and Certain Lad both led last time, while Liberty Lane and Deepone also race prominently.

The effect of the draw at Chester is less pronounced in the 7½f races than the sprints, although it remains a pertinent factor, and you won’t hear any complaints from connections of early favourite El Burhan about stall one. El Burhan signed off a productive juvenile campaign with a gallant third off top weight in a Glorious Goodwood nursery and has been gelded since.

It may be hard to believe after he landed the Cheshire Oaks-Chester Vase double on Wednesday, but Aidan O'Brien's dominance of Chester's Classic trials is even more apparent in the Dee Stakes. Minnie Hauk and Lambourn took his tally to 13 of the last 22 winners in the Oaks and Vase combined. Since Cliffs Of Moher won the Dee in 2017, O'Brien has won six of the last seven runnings.

If Qirat runs in the Victoria Cup (2.40 Ascot), it could well be the third time he has headed the market for a heritage handicap at Ascot. However, there are reasons to suspect he won’t run and that removes any ante-post punting appeal. Qirat has an entry at Chester on Friday and was once withdrawn due to fast ground last season. With conditions likely to be on the quick side in Berkshire, perhaps Roi De France will be the one who slots in as market leader.

The Oaks market is in its infancy and this Newmarket card is traditionally the first point in the season it receives a shot in the arm. One Classic often leads to another and the 1,000 Guineas may reveal a leading Epsom contender, although so might the Pretty Polly. There are more noteworthy Oaks trials than the Pretty Polly, namely those around the corner at Chester, Lingfield and York, but the previous running introduced us to two top-class fillies.
