Form & Verdict
Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424.

Form & Verdict
Mostly campaigned on AW but he's now 2-9 on turf having landed C&D classified (good to firm) in June and Lingfield handicap (7f, good) last Tuesday; took advantage of a golden highway that day but did well to pick his way through from the rear and he's respected under a 5lb penalty (1lb well in).

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.

23-race maiden who has tried various headgear (including combinations) since joining this yard but it was only today's tongue-tie he sported when close second at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; career-low mark and he's a contender if subsequent efforts can be forgiven.

A maiden after 28 starts, with tendencies to start slowly and race too freely, but has made the frame on his last five appearances, including two seconds in this grade at Brighton (6f, good to firm) this summer; fine over 7f and a likely contender once again; has tried various headgear combinations this year; goes in just the refitted cheekpieces today.

26-race maiden but did remarkably well to snatch second behind Big Time Rascal over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday, when breaking awkwardly and pulling hard; clearly not the most straightforward and another change of headgear is tried but should go close if he gets the breaks.

Form & Verdict
Won a 2yo course maiden (good to soft) in 2024 but flopped on his return visit when favourite for a handicap (also 1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last September; left Hughie Morrison after another lesser effort and that pattern has continued in three starts for this yard; hopes probably pinned on this drop back in trip.

Unraced at two; yet to score but she was placed in her first five starts (6f/7f, AW) last year; 196-day break preceded a poor effort in November, however, and wind surgery hasn't improved matters judged on two runs this year; tongue-tie and blinkers thrown into the mixer and she's dangerously handicapped if rediscovering her mojo on this turf debut.

In the frame in her first five starts (high 60's RPR's), including when twice finding one stronger here (6f-7f); has failed to beat a single rival the last twice (either side of wind surgery) so she has a bit to prove at present; easing mark.
