ROXZOFF can continue a fine run of form by winning the Cheffins Handicap (4.30) at Newmarket.
The three-year-old appears to thrive on his racing, having run eight times this year and winning four times.
He has moved up the grades steadily throughout and took another step up in class on his last run at Doncaster two weeks ago, only going down by a length and a quarter to the improving favourite Laasudood.
There is every reason to believe that running off the same mark on ground he likes, the Charlie Hills-trained gelding will score a fifth victory in 2022.
LEAP ABROAD is fancied to take the Cambridge Precision Innovation Handicap (2.35).
The three-year-old won a nursery before Paul and Oliver Cole turned their focus to handicaps.
At Lingfield in April, he went down by a head to Aasser, before my selection romped home by four-and-a-quarter lengths at Pontefract on good to firm ground.
The second that day has won since and while this six-runner event is a competitive affair, the three-year-old can shrug off an 8lb rise fresh from a short break.
