Take Bacchus to get back on the winning trail in the University Of Lincolnshire And Humberside Handicap at Beverley tomorrow.
Julie Camacho's gelding scored twice - including a seller - over an extended seven furlongs on the Westwood last season and judged on his reappearance last month he has returned as good as ever.
Bacchus lined up for a 14-runner handicap over nine furlongs at Redcar and travelled well for much of the way.
After being held up in the rear he made good headway to hold every chance inside the final furlong but just met one too tough on the day and was beaten a neck into second place by Were Not Stoppin.
The step up to 10 furlongs tomorrow should suit Bacchus and with the benefit of a run under his belt he is awarded the nap.
Earlier on the card last week's Chester winner El Zito can follow up in the Ernest Norris Memorial Handicap.
The three-year-old got off the mark for Newmarket trainer Michael Quinlan with an all-the-way four-length success from Never Diss Miss in a classified stakes on the Roodee.
That race was over an extended 10 furlongs and the step up to a mile and a half can bring out sufficient improvement in El Zito to defy his 5lb penalty.
Another who can shrug off a penalty for a recent victory is Shalaal in the Welsh Guards Association Handicap at Hereford.
Michael Chapman's six-year-old scored in good style at Uttoxeter last Thursday to incur an extra 6lb for tomorrow's 17-furlong contest.
Shalaal saw off a decent field at the Staffordshire track where he beat LS Lowry by one and three-quarter lengths.
He had earlier scored at Cartmel and is clearly at the top of his form.
Shalaal has not finished winning yet and a hat-trick looks on the cards tomorrow.
Pas de Probleme merits an interest in the 'Get Married At Kempton' Handicap at the Sunbury-On-Thames track.
The Michael Blanshard-trained four-year-old has been in good form this term and recorded his second win of the campaign when landing an eight-runner event at Sandown by two lengths from Generate last time out.
Pas de Probleme made all that day and can do so again at Kempton off a mark just 2lb higher.
Prospector's Cove returned to his best with a cosy three-quarter length verdict over Samara Song in a 20-runner handicap at Yarmouth at the end of May and can go in again in the Lee & Pembertons Redfern Stakes (Showcase Handicap).
Octane can make the most of a return to a mile and a half by taking the Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky Stakes at Hamilton Park.
The four-year-old scored over the trip at Musselburgh last month when he defeated Piccadilly one and a half lengths.
He ran well next time over an inadequate nine furlongs when third of 16 to Kid'z'play back at the Edinburgh track 10 days ago.
In good heart, Octane looks set to regain the winning thread tomorrow.
