Made all twice last season, latterly in good style over 1m6f here (heavy) in September; just 1lb higher today after lesser shows this term but the latest was a step back in the right direction and he stays 2m; case can be made.

Made all in a big field here (2m) last July and he's on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; however, he's been well beaten on both outings this year and needs to turn things around.

Made all to win by 5l on heavy ground here (1m6f) in September and will warrant consideration if conditions become similarly testing today but his seasonal debut was disappointing and he's not one to rely upon.

1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton.

Ridden this season by Lauren Young; won at Musselburgh (1m4f) and Hamilton (1m3f) on first two starts, with a good third at Thirsk (1m4f) next time, all on good ground; shaped as if still in form in a steadily run race on latest outing; this good season (better than 2025) has been over much shorter but he did win this race on good to firm in 2024; not dismissed.

He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good) before good third at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last time; he'll be fine at this longer trip, and also if slow ground prevails; could be bang there.

Second on Chelmsford Polytrack in latest AW race; tremendous progress last year once sent handicapping in cheekpieces, racking up four wins and the last three of those (in small fields) were over 2m, increasingly impressive; improvement stalled at Newmarket in the Cesarewitch Trial and Cesarewitch itself on last two outings, but he remains of major interest on this return.

Since sent handicapping in cheekpieces he's delivered form figures of 12111 and has looked seriously progressive since upped to 2m, again winning as he liked last time at Goodwood (good to firm); handicapper didn't hold back with a 10lb rise but that might not halt his progress.

Has form figures of 511 since handicapping, the wins at Goodwood (1m4f) and Yarmouth (1m6f); this Prescott filly is exactly the sort to carry on improving and defying the assessor; could well run up a sequence and accordingly warrants major respect.

Showed some ability in three AW maidens over 7f-8.6f last autumn, but tended to hang (not for the first time) when fifth of nine on last month's Newmarket handicap debut/reappearance (1m2f, good to firm); the longer trip should suit on breeding but she does have a bit to prove.
