Form & Verdict
Three 5f wins this year, most recently when fending off 17 rivals to make all in jump jockeys' Nunthorpe at York (good to firm) last month; does not have much margin for error off current mark but ought to give this a good shot.

Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred.

One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out.

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here.

Form & Verdict
Yet to hit peak form this season but did pretty well to finish fourth at Chester (5f, good) 11 days ago, having raced wide throughout and remained prominent until well inside the final furlong; another 2lb lower here; might be the answer.

Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings.

Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims.

Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered.

Form & Verdict
Excellent second in last summer's Super Sprint at Newbury (5f, good to soft) but generally disappointing since; not seen since her sixth of seven at Goodwood (5f, good) in May; others have more pressing claims.

J: Alec Voikhansky

Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched.

Form & Verdict
Made all in refitted cheekpieces at Bath (5f, firm) in June and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last month; faces competition for the lead here but ran well on only previous visit to Brighton and could have a say.

All six wins over 5f on various ground on turf, the latest when beating three rivals in an apprentice handicap at Chepstow in July; form has regressed in three starts since so needs the return to Class 6 company to bring about a resurgence.

Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing.

Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call.

Dual C&D winner in Class 6 this season (good/good to firm); has more on his plate in this company and was slightly disappointing on latest appearance five weeks ago but further progress remains possible.

Acts on good to firm and soft ground; his last win was 12 months ago but that was off 4lb higher and he returned from a three-month break with a promising effort at Musselburgh (5f) last month; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out.
