Form & Verdict
Belatedly came good in 1m2f classified here (good to soft) in June, her 18th start; not in same form when well-held third in five-runner Yarmouth handicap this month and her overall profile remains unconvincing but Ross Birkett is a good booking for this first attempt at 1m4f.

Brighton specialist who is 0-22 on AW surfaces but does act on Tapeta; not beaten far on her last four starts and is an each-way player again.

T: Gay Kelleway

Won four times at Brighton in 2022; 0-13 last year and only fourth on her return to action on Saturday; conditions suit and she's capable at this level but she'll need to up her game if she's to gain her first AW win at the 22nd attempt.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Gay Kelleway

Has done all his winning on turf but lost out only by a head in 1m2f Polytrack handicap at Chelmsford in November and his fourth over that C&D a few days later was also a decent effort; today's trip-and-surface combination will also suit; likely contender.

6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Has very modest 1-32 strike-rate and is nothing like the force of old but was close second to a next-time-out winner in C&D selling handicap 18 days ago and has claims if in similar form again.

6 yo Mare

OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Multiple turf/AW winner, most recently in four-runner Bath handicap (11.6f, firm) last month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off today's 3lb higher mark but is suited by this C&D and features prominently in calculations.

A maiden after nine starts but has made the frame three consecutive times since fitted with cheekpieces, most recently when keeping-on second in 1m2f classified here this month; could have more to offer over today's longer trip; first ride under rules for Maddison Wright.

All three wins came over further and she now returns for a new stable after a lengthy absence; best watched unless the market speaks in her favour.

J: Shariq Mohd

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Last year's winner (from 4lb higher); patchy form this year, with respectable efforts (Kempton) interspersed with weak finishes elsewhere; probably holds a similar chance to Endofastorm based on their recent C&D clash; any sign of market support would offer encouragement.

J: Anna Gibson

T: Gary & Josh Moore

Dual course winner at around this time last year (11.6f/1m5f) but not in same form this season; just a respectable third at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) this month and effectively 3lb higher from out of the weights here.

4 yo Filly

OR: 48

Form & Verdict
Made the frame four times this spring, perhaps most notably when second in Windsor classified (11.4f, good to firm) in June, and last month's midfield finish at Bath can easily be excused given she was drawn wide and always poorly positioned; major player under experienced amateur Simon Walker.

Ten-race maiden; placed off 6lb higher when upped to 2m at Kempton (AW) last autumn but has suffered two heavy defeats this summer, more recently when back over 2m at Kempton; needs the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference here.
