Eurkash was disappointing when a well-backed favourite in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot on his first start for James Owen (previously with Paul Webber) but he produced a much more encouraging display when upped in trip and switched to chasing at Fontwell on Sunday.
Eurkash, who was also back in his usual cheekpieces on his return to chasing, went about things in stark contrast to on his stable debut, going with enthusiasm and pressing on soon after four out.
He was overhauled up the run-in but was 17 lengths clear of the remainder and looks capable of taking advantage of his much-reduced mark for a yard that has excelled with such types.

Prague was unable to reward the strong support that saw him sent off favourite for the Superior Mile but he arguably shaped best and looked unlucky not to go close.
Prague, who was dropping in trip, travelled smoothly under a patient ride but had to wait for a gap inside the final two furlongs and needed to be switched a couple of times to get a clear run.
He kept on without being able to get on terms with Holloway Boy who made the most of his clearer passage, but it was an encouraging performance by Prague and one which suggests the lightly raced four-year-old is well worth his place in such company.

Yorkshire had disappointed on a couple of occasions but bounced back to form when runner-up at Haydock, doing well to get so close having been further back than ideal in a steadily-run race.
Yorkshire, who was slowly into stride, raced in mid-division and was driven along three furlongs out. It took him a bit of time to hit top gear but he finished off really strongly and made good headway to get to within three-quarters of a length of the winner.
The other horses in the frame had raced more prominently than Yorkshire who can have his effort upgraded and is clearly on a competitive mark (he dead-heated off this mark at Thirsk in May).

A nursery that appeals as strong form, a pair of rapidly improving last-time-out winners heading the betting and coming to the fore, and the time was well over a second quicker than the earlier two-year-old maiden which only strengthens a positive view.
Brastias appeared to have been handed a fairly stiff opening mark of 72 based on his previous form, but he shaped like a horse who is on a good mark back at seven furlongs and probably would have finished much closer had he been granted a clear run.
Brastias had to wait for a gap over two furlongs out and was also short of room approaching the final furlong, but he kept on well once in the clear to take fourth close home and he's one to look out for on the back of this encouraging effort.

The form looks nothing out of the ordinary overall, the majority heading for handicaps, but a few of these promise better to come, not least the John & Thady Gosden-trained Byblos.
He's from a good family - he's a half-brother to very smart Siskin - and he shaped with plenty of promise on his debut, looking the part in the preliminaries, though he did look as though he was carrying a fair bit of condition.
Byblos also displayed clear signs of greenness, racing off the pace and taking time to get organised in the straight, but he stayed on well in the closing stages under considerate handling. He's just the sort who will improve significantly for this initial experience and is one to look out for in a similar event next time.

A fair handicap that was well-contested and run at a sound gallop, six of the 15 having finished first or second on one or both of their previous two outings, and it reflects well on the winner that she was able to win by as far as she did in the end.
Much further down the field, the Joseph Parr-trained Kamanika shaped quite a bit better than the bare result, though, and she looks a horse to be interested in over the coming weeks and months.
She left the impression he's working her way back to form, going for home earlier than ideal in a well-run race, while she also shaped as though the run may still have been needed. It is worth noting that she won twice in the mud last autumn and she will be one to look out for from what will be a potentially lenient mark.

Cabeza de Llave had edged down the weights after enduring a disappointing turf campaign, but he bounced back to form when runner-up at Windsor on Monday and was arguably unlucky not to win.
Cabeza de Llave was trapped on the rail just as the race was starting to develop and a gap didn't present itself until just before the final furlong, but he ran on well and just failed by a neck.
He ran out of time to get on terms at Windsor but he showed enough to suggest he's back in form and one to be interested in again from a lenient mark (won off 4 lb higher in February).
