9st 1lb

J: Joe Leavy

T: John Gallagher

Below his best at Sandown last time but five of his last seven wins have been at this track, and he was beaten less than 2l here the time before; has to be of interest back at this track.

T: John Gallagher

Five of his last seven wins have come at Brighton, including when he took six-runner handicap (5.5f, good to firm) in August; comparable form back at that track on his last two outings, but they suggest he needs a bit extra from this mark.

J: Joe Leavy

T: John Gallagher

Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday.

Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: John Gallagher

Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable.
