Elite Army returns to the scene of his most significant success when he makes his first start in almost a year in the Carey Group Buckhounds Stakes at Ascot.
After running out an impressive winner of the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2014, the five-year-old has been restricted to just one subsequent start.
With his injury problems now behind him, trainer Saeed Bin Suroor is hoping that the talented, but fragile, son of Authorized can reward his patience by striking in the Listed contest, on what will be just his sixth career outing.
The Newmarket trainer said: "He is good to have back. He worked very well on Wednesday morning and he is in great form and I am happy with him.
"He just had a few little problems last year so we gave him an easy time but he is now back in full training. Physically he has shown me that he has done good.
"Hopefully he can get a good result. We will keep options open and we will see how he goes, but the Hardwicke at Royal Ascot could be an option."
Andrew Balding has warned that Scotland is likely to be in need of the run as he makes his first appearance since finishing a close-up sixth in the Ascot Gold Cup last June.
Balding said: "Sadly he suffered a hairline fracture before Goodwood last year, but that all seems to be behind him and I am happy with him - he is going to come on for the run in terms of fitness, though.
"Having been off the track for so long, he is entitled to be a little bit rusty.
"He has really pleased me at home, he is moving well and he is a lovely horse for the rest of the year, but he will come on a good deal for this.
"He ran a big race in the Gold Cup last year and that is very much on the agenda again. He has got some good mile-and-a-half form as he was third at the Royal meeting over it two years ago, so the trip is not an issue."
Missed Call has won one of her two starts at the track and she will try to augment those statistics on her first start since triumphing in a Listed event at Kempton in November.
Trainer James Fanshawe said: "It is her first run of the year but she has a good record around Ascot having finished second in the Cumberland Lodge and winning at the Shergar Cup meeting.
"She appears in good form and likes going right handed. At the ratings she has got a bit to find, but quite a few of these have not run for a while so that will help."
Although form figures suggest the Mark Johnston-trained Oriental Fox is better over trips of two miles or longer, connections of the eight-year-old feel that he can still be as competitive over a distance perceived to be on the short side.
Charlie Johnston, assistant trainer to his father, said: "Although the horse won the Queen Alexandra at the Royal meeting last year, he is versatile trip-wise as he has shown good form over a mile and a half and mile and three-quarters.
"It is fair to say his best form is at two miles-plus, but he is top rated in the race and for all that he might be seen in a better light over further, we still expect him to be competitive in this race.
"We would be aiming towards another trip to Royal Ascot, whether that is for the Gold Cup or the Queen Alexandra again, but this looks a good race to start his season off."
