Dual Newmarket winner Proud Chieftain is stepping up a grade in his bid for a hat-trick and will need to improve again, but New Hampshire will have needed his return from lay-off when well beaten at Doncaster earlier this month and better is expected here. AUDEN was landing his maiden at Newmarket when last seen at the track over a year ago and makes his handicap debut today. The half-brother to high-class duo Mastery and Kirklees will relish the longer trip and the fact Kieren Fallon is on board him rather than Luca Cumani's Balandra could prove significant. The latter has claims on her handicap bow as does last year's Bath winner Inimitable Romanee.
