PRIZE MONEY can cash in at Newmarket by winning the Bahrain Trophy on the opening day of the July Meeting today.

The three-year-old son of Authorized has only won once in four starts, but he has not done a great deal wrong and should be up to this challenge.

Godolphin's colt, trained by Saeed bin Suroor, must prove his stamina over a mile and five furlongs, but everything he has done to date suggests he will stay.

No more was that apparent than at Royal Ascot, when he finished second to Hawkbill in the mile-and-a-quarter Tercentenary Stakes.

Prize Money turned in a smashing effort, in truth, but simply lacked the acceleration of the winner.

That Hawkbill won the Coral-Eclipse at the weekend merely heightens the anticipation for a horse who would not be knocked off his stride by any cut in the ground.

MEHMAS can deliver in the Arqana July Stakes.

Richard Hannon's flashy youngster excelled back over six furlongs in the Coventry Stakes at the Royal meeting when he whizzed home to take second place behind Aidan O'Brien's very well-regarded Caravaggio - with the third-placed Psychedelic Funk never nearer.

Perhaps significantly, too, connections are desperate to see the Acclamation colt back on a sounder surface.

Assuming the forecast is accurate, the ground could be just about ideal for him at Newmarket in a race the Hannon family have won four times in the last six years.

THE GREY GATSBY was another victim of the soft Ascot ground last month, but is a fascinating prospect as he tries a mile and a half for just the second time in the Princess of Wales's Arqana Racing Club Stakes.

Trained by Hambleton handler Kevin Ryan, the warrior actually ran pretty well in the Prince of Wales's Stakes, finishing fourth and beaten four and a half lengths, but he was never going to be truly happy in the mud.

Newmarket promises to be much brisker as The Grey Gatsby has his first start out of Group One company since May 2014.

With big prize money up for grabs in the Betfred Mobile Heritage Handicap, SCRUTINEER is a tentative call for the Mick Channon team.

The colt was out of his depth in the Jersey Stakes, but he had previously been in decent form in better races than this.

Channon's decision to revert to a six-furlong handicap could emerge a tidy bit of business in a wide-open contest.

Doncaster has admittedly staged better fixtures, but FLASH CITY can at least keep the show on the road by winning the We-Fit! Worksop's Insulated Conservatory Roofing Systems Handicap.

The eight-year-old's run-to-win ratio is hardly too inspiring, but he has been in good nick this summer and deserves close scrutiny in an eminently winnable encounter.

Flash City turned in a typically stout effort over five furlongs at Musselburgh a week and a half ago, but he had no response to the upwardly-mobile Fumbo Jumbo.

Be that as it may, Ruth Carr's inmate had the rest of the field mastered that day, while the form looks pretty good as the third horse home, Seamster, has since won at Catterick and renews rivalry off a higher mark.

A proven operator on variants of ground, Flash City remains 3lb lower than when he last won just over a year ago at Hamilton and the stable enjoyed a nice double at Ayr on Monday.
