Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner for his previous yard in 2022 but has only once been back; second of nine at Catterick (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) before keeping on for third at Ripon (6f, soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago; returns to Brighton and steps back up in trip from a handy mark.

Off the mark for the season when making all at Pontefract last time (6f, good); his other five wins have all been over 7f (two sound runs on both C&D starts); well drawn; a possible.

T: Harriet Bethell

Losing run is mounting up but he shaped well from the front over C&D (good) eight days ago, eventually tying up having kicked clear too soon in hindsight, beaten only 2l; big chance off same mark with Ethan Tindall taking off a bonus 5lb, provided his energy is used better.

Form & Verdict
Won here on three occasions last year (7f/1m); beaten a neck when second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April off a 2lb higher mark than today; may have needed the run slightly when fifth at Windsor (1m, soft) 16 days ago and the returning cheekpieces are a likely plus.

J: Billy Loughnane

Three-time course winner who remains consistent despite his age; recent strike-rate isn't great but he's down to 0-55 for the first time since returned to turf and Billy Loughnane is an obvious plus.

Largely consistent 9yo who ended a lengthy losing run when dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and comes here after a pretty good second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; suited by this track; likely contender.

Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll.

Form & Verdict
Dual winner for Charlie Johnston in 2023 and he was placed off higher marks than this last year; ran his best race since joining this stable when third at Windsor (1m, soft) 16 days ago; well handicapped and he's of interest if able to back that run up, with the drop back to 7f no problem.

Went close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance and returned to form to win at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) recently; he likes that seaside venue and drops back in trip today, but he is capable of running well away from Brighton and at 1m, so he could be in the shake-up.

Ran best race of 2025 when third of seven here over 1m ten weeks ago when last seen, but all three of her wins, including two here, have been over that trip so the drop back to 7f (tried once in 2023) isn't sure to suit.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Had two wins elsewhere since a course win last June; further good runs here back in the spring but returned from 78 days off yesterday (C&D) and, having led for much of the race, trailed in sixth of the eight runners; these classified terms are favourable.
