Hot To Trot: Have a break and have a punt on Kit Cat

Flat trainer: Charlie Appleby

Godolphin have enjoyed a terrific start to the 2017 Flat season and the Charlie Appleby-trained Sobetsu provided them with a first Group 1 victory of the year in Europe when winning the Prix Saint-Alary at Deauville earlier this month. She looks set to miss Epsom in favour of the Prix de Diane at Chantilly, but Appleby still looks likely to have plenty of runners at the meeting and will be hoping to add another Group 1 to his tally with Frontiersman in Friday's Coronation Cup. He has been supplemented at a cost of £25,000 and, while this represents a far tougher task than when winning a handicap at Newmarket last time, Frontiersman remains open to more progress after just seven starts and is certainly worth a try in this higher grade. Appleby has also made a fine start to the year with his juveniles and looks set to unleash an exciting bunch of newcomers in the coming days. Aurum, Morlock and Roussel all hold multiple entries next week and their respective debuts are keenly anticipated, with Aurum perhaps the one that catches the eye most on pedigree (closely-related to the very smart Amadeus Wolf).

Jumps trainer: Evan Williams

John Constable was a dominant winner of the Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock earlier this month and initiated a terrific run of form for trainer Evan Williams in doing so. Indeed, Williams has saddled three winners and four seconds from his last 11 runners and looks set to be well-represented at jumps meetings across the country in the coming days. The trainer currently has 15 entries on Thursday's card at Ffos Las and will be hoping Fille des Champs can go one better than when second at Uttoxeter last time, although she does not look obviously well-treated from 5 lb higher in the weights. Market Road, on the other hand, was a decisive winner at Ffos Las on Saturday and holds a choice of engagements back at the same venue next week. He could yet prove capable of better after just three starts over the larger obstacles and will be of interest if turned out quickly under a penalty. Finally, Mr Kit Cat returned to form with a good second on his most recent outing at Worcester and is worth a second look if taking his chance at Newton Abbot on Tuesday, despite a 2 lb rise in the weights.

Under the radar: Chris Dwyer

Chris Dwyer enjoyed the best season of his training career to date in 2017, recording a personal best tally of 32 winners and also netting over £200,000 in prize money for the first time in a single campaign. Dwyer will have been hoping to build on that success this time round and the signs are certainly positive, with 12 winners already on the board at this relatively early stage of proceedings. The fine form of the yard in recent weeks has played a big part and his Kestrel Dot Com looks one to follow, having resumed winning ways with an impressive victory at Yarmouth earlier this month. He has an 8 lb hike in the weights to contend with at Kempton on Wednesday evening, but that is fully deserved on the evidence of last time and he can't be ruled out if blinkers continue to have the desired effect. The trainer will also have high hopes for Dark Side Dream at Chelmsford on Monday. The five-year-old was beaten just a head when second on his most recent outing at the Essex track and remains one to keep onside in his current mood, although seven furlongs is a step into the unknown.
