Form & Verdict
Slowly away and always behind when 80-1 for last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good); remains unexposed and will appreciate today's ease in grade but clearly needs to take a big step forward.

Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims.

1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton.

Form & Verdict
Very well handicapped on some of last year's form and made quite pleasing reappearance when keeping-on second behind one of Sir Mark Prescott's improvers here (1m4f, good to firm) this month; today's drop back in trip won't be a problem; good chance.

His last win was off 9lb higher over 1m4f at Brighton in September 2023; some efforts on AW during the winter were respectable but his return to Brighton last month saw him tailed off after a slow start; none too solid.

Form & Verdict
Improved to make winning nursery debut for Andrew Balding in September (1m2f, AW) but was well-beaten 33-1 shot when reappearing for new stable at Salisbury (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) six weeks ago and it takes a leap of faith to support her after that.

Added to her Tapeta win when scoring at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September but she's lost her way since including with two heavy defeats this season; now back on last winning but she needs a major revival on this return to AW; reapplied blinkers replace a hood.
