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.

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.

In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again.

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.

Now 8lb higher than when successful over C&D (good to soft) in October; not at his best at Newbury (1m, good) last time, but his previous narrow defeat on his Windsor reappearance (1m2f, good to firm) suggested this sort of mark was within reach; shortlisted.

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.
