Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner for his previous yard in 2022 but has only once been back; second of nine at Catterick (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) before keeping on for third at Ripon (6f, soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago; returns to Brighton and steps back up in trip from a handy mark.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: Harriet Bethell

Front-runner who scored over C&D (good) in June but that was a Class 6 and he's been vulnerable in both runs since; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he has some work to do back up in grade.

Front-runner who's landed the inside stall; did a lot of his winning in the past over 7f but may be happiest over this trip now, as when making all for Ethan Tindall off 3lb lower in June; one to consider back from a short break.

Off the mark for the season when making all at Pontefract last time (6f, good); his other five wins have all been over 7f (two sound runs on both C&D starts); well drawn; a possible.

Form & Verdict
Won here on three occasions last year (7f/1m); beaten a neck when second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April off a 2lb higher mark than today; may have needed the run slightly when fifth at Windsor (1m, soft) 16 days ago and the returning cheekpieces are a likely plus.

Dual winner for Charlie Johnston in 2023 and he was placed off higher marks than this last year; ran his best race since joining this stable when third at Windsor (1m, soft) 16 days ago; well handicapped and he's of interest if able to back that run up, with the drop back to 7f no problem.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.
