It’s also the first World Pool fixture of the year in the UK as they look to follow on from what was a very successful year in 2022.
Read on to see who our man is backing to make a place at least on a hugely exciting Saturday card at Newmarket.
1.40: Teumessias Fox, Crystal Delight
Teumessias Fox showed the benefit of a wind operation when bolting up on return and should have more to offer.
He must be included alongside the consistent Crystal Delight, who is unexposed on the turf.
2.15: Gale Force Maya, Queen Olly
2Gale Force Maya won over course and distance on return last year and won two Listed races subsequently.
She’s the one to beat, though Queen Olly is also worth including, as she will show the benefit of a return to six furlongs.

2.50: Tanmawwy, Apollo One, Spirit Of Light
Tanmawwy went down by a neck on return at Newbury and has excellent claims if replicating that.
Apollo One has a good record at Newmarket and has to be included, while Spirit Of Light can build on an unlucky course third last time.
3.25: Dual Identity, Saga, Empirestateofmind
Empirestateofmind doesn’t know how to run a bad race, nor does Dual Identity, who was progressive last year.
Pair them with Saga, who was gelded over the winter, has cheekpieces and goes well fresh.
4.00: Manaccan, Twilight Calls
Manaccan kept surprising us last season and the Irish Group 3 winner has Frankie Dettori in the saddle.
Twilight Calls has been absent since a Group 1 second at Royal Ascot but won first-time-out last season and is the one to beat.
4.40: Royal Scotsman, Silver Knott
The need for speed wouldn’t necessarily play to Auguste Rodin’s strengths.
Royal Scotsman relished the step up to 7f in the Dewhurst and should love the mile, while Silver Knott has plenty of experience and the form with Epictetus has worked out well.
