Trainer Roger Varian hands a seasonal debut to one of the most exciting and expensive horses in his yard on an action-packed Tuesday, live on Sky Sports Racing.
Eldar Eldarov, a £480,000 Breeze-up purchase, made a huge impression when winning on his first and only start as a two-year-old at Nottingham in October.
The three-year-old son of Dubawi holds big entries in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot next month as well as the Irish Derby.
He steps up to a-mile-and-two-furlongs for the Gainford Group Novice Stakes (6.00), taking on 13 rivals including John and Thady Gosden's 86-rated Honiton, who has Rab Havlin booked.
Honiton was no match for Secret State at Chester last time but the form of that race and his first start of the campaign, when third at Newbury, looks solid. William Haggas and Tom Marquand team up with Ayr winner Post Impressionist and looks the main danger.
Marquand and Haggas hold the key to the pulmangroup.co.uk Handicap (7.00) at Newcastle with favourite Substantial, who got off the mark at the fourth attempt with victory at Kempton earlier this month.
2.50 Bath - In-form pair Chairman and Silverscape clash
Two last-time out winners clash in the feature at Bath on Tuesday afternoon, the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap (2.50).
Martyn Meade's Chairman got his head in front at the third attempt at Salisbury at the start of May, having previously chased home Zain Sarinda and Charlie Appleby's Derby hopeful Nahanni.
The Roger Teal-trained Silverscape provided a minor shock on debut at Kempton last year when winning at 18/1 and, having finished fifth on the next start, made it two from three when upped to a-mile-and-a-quarter at Lingfield in January.
The three-year-old has been given time off since that latest victory and is a interesting contender now tackling the turf for the first time.
Her Majesty The Queen is represented in the race by Clive Cox's Yarralumla, who has yet to score in four starts, filling the runner-up spot in her last two.
6.40 Lingfield - Four last-time winners contest competitive sprint
Lingfield's evening card features a hugely competitive six furlong sprint contest, with four last-time winners in the field of nine for the Russell Publishing 30th Anniversary Handicap (6.40).
There could well be a very good one lurking among the three-year-olds and it is Saeed bin Suroor's Open Mind who is well-fancied to add to his Chelmsford success last month.
The Martyn Meade-trained Object won two of his five starts last year but disappointed on reappearance in a similarly competitive handicap at Newmarket in April and needs to bounce back.
Sky Blue Pink, a filly from Ralph Beckett's yard, returns to the track for the first time in this campaign looking to make it a hat-trick of wins, with Hector Crouch retained in the saddle.

7.30 Newcastle - Eligible
8.05 Newcastle - Billy Wedge
ELIGIBLE twice shaped well behind some in-form or progressive rivals at Wolverhampton around the turn of the year, and he should be ready to do himself justice back on the all-weather at Newcastle (7.30) after making his return at Ripon over a trip that probably stretches his stamina.
He ran well when third behind Umm Hurair, who has won three times subsequently and is now rated 27lb higher, in December at Wolverhampton, before chasing home Old Port, who has also won three times since, and My Brother Mike, who was in top form at the time, over the same course and distance.
Following a four-month absence he made his reappearance over one-mile-and-two-furlongs at Ripon earlier this month. That was the longest trip he has attempted, and after looking bang in contention two furlongs out he weakened into fourth.
The return to a mile should suit and on his only previous run here he finished an excellent fourth in a well-contested 0-85 handicap off a mark of 82.
He now drops to Class 6 for the first time in his career and should be able to make an impact in this grade.
The Easterby team have another interesting Newcastle returner in the six furlong handicap (8.05) in Marwari, who has unsurprisingly attracted support this morning, but at bigger prices it might be worth taking a flyer on BILLY WEDGE.
He is far from consistent and the trip tonight is a bare minimum, but all three career wins have come here and, if he's on a going day, he might run well off what is a favourable mark.
He seems much better on the all-weather than on turf, like many progeny of his sire Arabian Gleam, who has a strike rate of 14 per cent on synthetic surfaces, but less than 4 per cent on turf.
Billy Wedge tends to have more poor runs than good ones, but his three wins here have come off marks ranging from 52 to 56, so his chance off 49 here if returning to form is obvious.
Two of his three wins came for Barry McHugh, who hasn't ridden him for a while, and if things drop right for him, he could spring a surprise.
