Prescott has won this race three times in the last 20 years and, as ever, the Newmarket trainer has plotted his way to a major race in meticulous fashion.

Master Of Arts managed to beat only five horses home in three races in 2007. Fast forward to 2008 and the three-year-old has won six out of six, culminating with an impressive victory over a mile at Great Leighs last time.

The gelding won off a handicap mark of 95 on that occasion and, although on a career-high of 104 tomorrow, he looks to have more to offer.

The concern is that Master Of Arts has never raced as far as tomorrow's nine furlongs, but if Prescott believes he will stay that is good enough.

Luca Cumani has two live fancies in Swop and Ask The Butler. The market favours Swop, but the latter is still improving and could prove the main danger.

Darjina (nap) has proved costly to follow with five successive seconds, but finally looks like getting the ground she excels on.

Throughout the wet summer the filly has been aimed at big races only for the rain to hit her chances.

Now, for the first time in months, Darjina will get firmer conditions and looks a major player in the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes (3.15).

Sri Putra, can land the Tattersalls Timeform Million (2.45) coming out of stall 22. The draw shouldn't be a worry as the class acts are mostly drawn high and will ensure a decent pace.

The card kicks off at 2.10 with the Tattersalls Timeform Fillies' 800 and My Superstar is the one to beat.

Sir Michael Stoute's charge won't mind making the pace and can run her rivals ragged.
