PAT Eddery, suspended since July 16, resumes his championship battle with Kevin Darley and Richard Quinn at Goodwood tomorrow - and can immediately get back among the winners.
The 11-times champion jockey can lift the Theo Fennell Lennox Stakes on Three Points, probably at the main expense of the Darley-ridden Observatory.
Trained by John Dunlop, Three Points struck form with a vengeance at Newbury recently, winning in emphatic style and leaving the impression that he was more than capable of following-up in the near future.
Three Points has a score to settle with Observatory, having finished fourth to that horse in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot.
John Gosden's winner is clearly going to take a lot of beating again, but now that Three Points has enjoyed victory, he could well turn the tables.
Thirsk trainer David Nicholls achieved a momentous feat in the final race at Goodwood yesterday when completing a 1-2-3 with Zuhair, Sihafi and Pure Elegancia.
Nicholls, an ace trainer of sprinters, can follow-up tomorrow with Flak Jacket in the Stewards' Sprint Handicap.
The mount of Darryll Holland, Flak Jacket has won his last two races, at Pontefract and Catterick, in the style of a horse at the top of his game. Unpenalised here, he can oblige again.
Alan Berry saddles three runners in the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's 100th Birthday Molecomb Stakes.
Marginal preference is for the only maiden among the trio, Charlie Parkes, who has been unlucky not to win before now, having suffered the misfortune to bump into Romantic Myth at Chester and Media Mogul at Newcastle - both rivals subsequently proving themselves to be Group-race standard.
Berry can also make an impression in the Express Week Of Racing Handicap with Ansellad, the mount of Richard Hughes.
A creditable second at Bath on his latest start, the speedy Ansellad should be in his element over this lightning-quick five furlongs.
The Volvo Truck Globetrotter Handicap, a fiercely competitive race, has been chosen as the £50,000 target for Father Juninho, who is fancied to prevail under Kevin Darley.
Alan Jarvis's three-year-old has run cracking races in defeat on his last three starts, at Epsom, York, and Newmarket, where he finished third to Moon Solitaire from an unfavourable draw.
Overdue a change of luck, Father Juninho makes plenty of appeal here and is awarded the Nap vote.
Capricho, improving by leaps and bounds, can complete a hat-trick of wins in the Bonusprint Handicap, while Vicious Circle, winner of last year's Tote Ebor Handicap in Knavesmire, should not be underestimated as he returns to action in the Glorious Tioman Island Handicap.
At Thirsk, two maiden handicaps and a claiming race ensure that quantity far outweighs quality, but there is plenty for punters to get their teeth into all the same.
The luckless Cool Prospect deserves attention in the Peter Bell Memorial Handicap.
Catterick winner Windmill can double here socre Barkers of Northallerton Don Raper Fillies' Handicap.
