Absent since finishing only 15th of 20 at Newbury (6f, good) in May for a modest debut; step up in distance may help but there's a chance he'll need further still (out of 1m4f winner).

Narrowly regained the winning thread in big field over C&D (good) last time when dropped back to 6f for first time since debut; unexposed at this trip and still looks favourably treated back up just 3lb; respected.

Campaigned over as far as 10.3f and this will be his first 6f run since his 2yo debut; well beaten in the Lincoln on his reappearance (1m, good to soft); dangerous mark judged on best 2025 effort (7f, good to soft); trip is a query but Oisin Murphy a notable booking.

Well beaten over inadequate 1m on comeback last year but she came into her own when upped to 1m4f in the summer, winning back-to-back turf races; had seemed rather becalmed after but she won nicely over C&D when last seen in December; should be further openings for her off 2lb higher.

Consistent since returning to turf in May including wins at Salisbury and Leicester (both 1m4f, good to firm), but does handle soft ground; ran well when second of 13 at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and although further may suit her best, this should be truly run; high on list.

Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair.

Has run in two competitive 7f handicaps in 2025, keeping on in third of 11 on AW comeback and perhaps finding good to soft sapping her when weakening at Brighton (made the running; first-time cheekpieces, retained) since; now has first turf run on ground quicker than good to soft.
