15th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

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. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

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. |

Front-runner with very modest 1-24 strike-rate, the win gained in basement-grade classified race at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in January; placed off today's mark handicap over that C&D last month but his latest run was disappointing and others have more pressing claims here. |

Infrequent winner and there were some heavy defeats amongst his 2023 efforts, including his last three starts; there has been the odd flicker of promise along the way though and the drop into this grade could help; the concern is his best runs last year came in a tongue-tie which is absent today. |

Ran no race on latest outing, having boiled over in the preliminaries, and is now 0-14 but gave pretty good account when placed in 1m2f Lingfield classified two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D; could have a say if new headgear has positive effect. |
