Form & Verdict
Ten-race maiden but he's well treated on his best form and was an eyecatching second when dropped back to 5f at Nottingham (good; 4-1) two weeks ago; this is his first run at Brighton but he's a big player if he can take another step back in the direction.

1-26 but generally consistent; didn't show any obvious improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and likely to be competing for minor honours.

1-25 but he went close over 7f at Wolverhampton in March and his Bath third last month (5.7f, good to firm) was another sound effort; should remain competitive with first-time cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Recorded his tenth win when making all to beat four rivals at Goodwood (5f, good) 18 days ago; up 3lb but that was a comfortable success and he's won twice over C&D on the past; should make another bold bid back at this track.

J: William Carson

Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday.

J: Tyrese Cameron

In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear.

9st 12lb

J: Jack Doughty

T: Tony Carroll

Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break.

5 yo Gelding

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner and his last success was off 1lb lower at Lingfield (6f) last month; not beaten far at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (6f, both on good to firm) since but he's now 0-14 on turf and this is competitive back in trip; others preferred.

Harry Brown

J: Ashley Lewis

T: Peter Crate

Scored at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month; recent Windsor run is best overlooked (saddle slipped); slightly out of the weights but the return to 6f won't be a problem; probably won't be far away.

Nothing like the force of old but he won at Lingfield in May and has been bang there at Newbury and Brighton (beaten a nose) on both starts since, all over about 5f on good to firm; should go well again.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Peter Crate

Useful 3yo who's come back to form since dropped to 5f on turf, minus the blinkers, following up his Lingfield win off 3lb lower with a solid effort at Newbury; needs considering but wants a proper test at this trip and a bigger field would have helped.

Form & Verdict
All nine wins have been on AW; 0-16 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he caught the eye with a strong-finishing second at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; on unchanged mark and has possibilities if he can back that up.

Nine-time AW winner who is 0-23 on turf, but he's versatile ground-wise and has finished runner-up in two of his five starts at Yarmouth; hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs but he ran respectably over C&D last time and he's in the mix back in a classified event.

9st 9lb

J: Charlie Bennett

T: Conrad Allen

Huge chance on this year's best form, notably a C&D second off 7lb higher in February; refused to race at Yarmouth on her penultimate start though and that, allied to a modest effort at Chelmsford two weeks ago, leaves her with too much to prove for comfort.

7/1

Form: 57468- CD

6 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Now 11lb lower than for her last success but that was in August 2023 and she generally struggled last season; returns having had wind surgery but she has plenty to prove after 202 days off; unraced on faster on good and last two wins were on soft.
