William Jarvis is looking forward to testing his recent Brighton winner Smokey Storm against some potentially smart juveniles in the £15,000 Empire Property Group International Conditions Stakes (2.30pm) over five furlongs.

The One Cool Cat colt built on the promise of a useful debut run when scoring at the second attempt over an extended five furlongs at Brighton on April 28.

The youngster had exhibited signs of greenness on his first start at Windsor on April 14, but knuckled down to overhaul Brenin Taran and win by a head at the seaside track.

Jarvis revealed: "He's a nice little horse. I'm not certain, but I think he may be better over another furlong. He's in good form and I hope he runs well.

"I don't think he's a Royal Ascot two-year-old. It would surprise me if he's that good but let's hope he runs well and we'll see what happens."

Smokey Storm, the mount of Alan Munro, faces stiff opposition, including a pair of previous winners from the Richard Hannon yard.

The Acclamation filly, Doughnut, won her sole start at Folkestone last month and is being aimed at the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury in July, while stablemate Icesolator broke his maiden over the course and distance at Goodwood's first fixture of the season on Saturday.

Mick Channon has a fine record at Goodwood, taking the Dick Hern Award for leading trainer in 2007, and he is set to saddle Mazzola and Imperial Skylight.

A fascinating seven-race card commences at 2.00pm with the 16-runner Pioneerpoint Maiden Stakes for three-year-olds over a mile.

The Walter Swinburn-trained Crown Choice could lay down claims for a place in the Group One St James's Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot, for which he holds an entry, while the unraced Luca Cumani-trained Schopenhauer still holds a Derby entry.

Race three of the afternoon is a typically competitive Goodwood sprint handicap, the 15-runner Novocapital Handicap (3pm) over six furlongs where the Tom Dascombe-trained Savile's Delight could bid to gain compensation for his head defeat at Goodwood on Saturday.

Other competitive affairs look assured in the 11-furlong Gateway Project Services Handicap (3.35pm) which has attracted 13 starters and the Empire Property Group International Fillies' Handicap (4.10pm), run over a mile and with a field of 11.

There are further Classic hopefuls on show in the Wedlake Bell Maiden Stakes (4.45pm) over a mile and a half.

Savarain, from the Cumani yard, the Alan King-trained Manyriverstocross and the Willie Muir-trained Nemo Spirit each hold Derby entries, while the filly Sortita, from the Michael Jarvis stable, has plenty of big-race entries including the Oaks at Epsom.

The 16-runner Empire Schizophrenia Trust Handicap (5.20pm) over nine furlongs brings the afternoon to a close.
