Form & Verdict
Good record at this time of year down the seasons and has won on firm ground here in the past; a long time since he won away from Brighton, however, rarely goes beyond 5f now and was a touch disappointing at Windsor on Monday.

Secret Handsheikh

J: Luke Morris

The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out.

Secret Handsheikh

9st 9lb

J: Luke Morris

T: John Gallagher

Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again.

J: Neil Callan

Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon.

Form & Verdict
Sole win came on her only previous visit here but she hasn't always looked the most convincing and hung left when behind Secret Handsheikh at Windsor on Monday; needs to improve on that.

Little Miss Magic

9st 0lb

J: Charlie Tucker

T: Patrick Chamings

Seemed to respond well to first-time visor when third at Chelmsford (6f) in January but she's not come close to that form in three runs since; her blindfold was removed late at Lingfield last month but she's now 1-27 and others are preferred.

Seemed to respond well to first-time visor when keeping-on third at Chelmsford (6f) in January but safely held on both starts in February and her tendency to start slowly is always a worry.

Form & Verdict
Likes it here and is back on her last winning mark; not at her best over C&D last time, though, and a bigger field would have been preferable given she's usually dropped in and suited by a strong pace.

Two 5f turf wins this year but she's fought a losing battle on the AW for a long time now (0-43); well drawn and back down in the weights so she isn't without hope.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D firm-ground winner, latterly off this mark in June; gone off the boil since then, however, latterly when behind two of these and last of seven here 15 days ago, and he'll always need things to fall just so.

Gained the latest of his nine wins in a C&D handicap in January; good second here next time but his form has cooled in classified events over C&D in last two runs; bit to prove and he needs to get back on track.
