|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4)  Marching Mac |  | |  | | | 3 | Grace McEntee | Phil McEntee | Well handicapped on pick of his form for George Boughey but started off for Phil McEntee with two disappointing AW runs last month and needs to get career back on track. | ||
(8)  Miss Rainstorm | | | | | | 3 | Ethan Jones | Alexandra Dunn | Ten-race maiden who signed off for Tracy Waggott with a heavy defeat over 1m in July; drops back in trip for stable debut; needs to have benefited enormously from her recent change of regime. | ||
(9)  Another Jack | | | | | | 3 | Joe Leavy | Karen Jewell | 13-race maiden who has had a few chances off basement marks and in bottom-grade classified races; needs to find some improvement from somewhere. | ||
4th (1)  Lochaber | | | | | | 3 | Mikkel Mortensen | Scott Dixon | Soundly beaten on two of his three starts for Scott Dixon but was close second at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) in between and has good claims here if judged on that performance. | ||
(6)  You Are Everything | | | | | | 5 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | 11-race maiden; now 3lb lower than when placed at Bath (5.7f, good to soft) one year ago but failed to build upon last month's satisfactory reappearance run when safely held on AW a fortnight ago; others preferred. | ||
2nd (5)  Thunderous Love | | | | | | 3 | Olivia Tubb | Jonathan Portman | Came good with clear win when dropped to 6f at Salisbury (soft) in May; largely disappointing since but was denied a clear run when fifth at Salisbury on Friday and might be boosted by the first-time cheekpieces here. | ||
3rd (7)  Muy Muy Guapo | | | | | | 4 | Christian Howarth | Simon Dow | Not beaten far when fourth of five over 7f here last week and can cope with today's drop back in trip but he's 0-24 now and needs to find something extra; cheekpieces replace hood. | ||
(3)  Bear To Dream | | | | | | 5 | Rhiain Ingram | Michael Attwater | Returned from break with C&D (good) win last month; below that form when fourth of five here a fortnight ago but remains on a workable mark and enters calculations. | ||
(2)  Realised | | | | | | 4 | Kaiya Fraser | Harry Eustace | A maiden after seven runs but was seemingly aided by blinkers when third twice at Yarmouth in the spring (1m/7f); raced freely on the latter occasion and looks quite interesting on her first run in a sprint. |
Realised posted two good efforts when blinkers were added in the spring and it will be interesting to see whether this drop to a sprint trip pays dividends for her, but THUNDEROUS LOVE was unlucky not to finish a bit closer to the target at Salisbury on Friday and gets the vote in the hope she responds well to first-time cheekpieces. Bear To Dream is next on the list.[Chris Wilson]

(1)  Captain Red Blazer | | | | | | 4 | Charlie Bennett | Adam West | Well beaten at huge odds in two AW races last month (6f/7f); can't be recommended on this turf debut. | ||
(3)  Artemesia | | | | | | 3 | George Rooke | Charlie Longsdon | Has a good pedigree for jump racing but was badly outpaced when 66-1 for recent debut at Chepstow (6f, good) and will probably find things happening too quickly again here. | ||
4th (6)  Supernova Steps | | | | | | 3 | Laura Pearson | David Loughnane | Closely related to connections' prolific and very useful miler Sparks Fly; struggled when 66-1 for recent debut at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) but could quite plausibly be seen to better effect on the faster ground here. | ||
3rd (4)  Borealis Thunder | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Alice Haynes | Made fairly encouraging debut when third (albeit well held) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in July and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground is excusable; hooded for first time here; should collect a minor prize. | ||
2nd (5)  Rating | | | | | | 3 | Liam Wright | Gary Brown | Placed on five of her 11 starts for Brian Meehan, most recently when close second in Class 5 handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June, but has a point to prove after running poorly on recent stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. | ||
1st (2)  Usuario Amigo | | | | | | 3 | Sean D Bowen | James Owen | Went close in Class 3 handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and subsequent defeat in valuable 1m handicap at York's Ebor meeting is easily overlooked in this context; drops back in trip and swaps visor for cheekpieces here; appears to have been found an excellent opportunity. |
This ought to be straightforward for USUARIO AMIGO, who ran to a useful level when going close in a Newmarket handicap last month. Rating was placed a few times for his former trainer but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing stable debut and it might be Borealis Thunder that fills the forecast spot.[Chris Wilson]

| 3rd (10) Miss Raindrop | | | | | | 4 | Grace McEntee | Alexandra Dunn | Safely held off today's basement mark on both recent starts for new stable (1m5f/1m4f) and now 0-15 overall; drops back in trip with cheekpieces given a whirl today. | ||
10th (9)  Beautiful Surprise | | | | | | 5 | David Probert | Roger Ingram | Kept on for respectable third in first-time blinkers here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and is worth a crack at today's longer trip but remains without a win since her 2yo debut. | ||
5th (6)  Agapanther | | | | | | 5 | Laura Coughlan | Barry Brennan | Ended nine-race campaign in Jersey with wide-margin win over 1m2f nine days ago; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but she's very well handicapped on some of last year's mainland form; interesting. | ||
(3)  Micks Dream | | | | | | 6 | Zoe Lewis | Thomas Faulkner | Went close over 1m here (soft) on stable debut a year ago but is yet to strike form after five starts this season and is not yet proven over today's trip. | ||
9th (4)  Letter Of The Law | | | | | | 5 | Gina Mangan | John O'Shea | Two wins this season, the latter gained from the front in C&D classified (good) last month; will find this easier than quite valuable series final he contested three weeks ago but others appeal more all the same. | ||
7th (8)  Long Call | | | | | | 11 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Long in the tooth now and nothing like the force of old but proved he still has fire in his belly when close/clear second to Gallimimus over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago. | ||
8th (11)  First Encounter | | | | | | 3 | Darragh Keenan | John Gallagher | Dug deep to open account at Leicester (1m, good to firm) in July and lost out only by a nose over 1m2f there last month; ran as though something was amiss at Chepstow recently but is a contender here if back on song. | ||
4th (1)  Gallimimus | | | | | | 4 | William Carson | John Gallagher | Not always an easy one to predict but kept on gamely to fend off Long Call by a neck over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and was only nudged up 1lb for that. | ||
6th (2)  Villalobos | | | | | | 5 | Luke Morris | Simon Hodgson | Dual 1m2f winner this summer; gave another good account when sixth at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but is on a fairly tough mark now and was below form on his only previous Brighton visit. | ||
2nd (7)  Clear Justice | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Gary & Josh Moore | Came good with two course wins this summer (C&D handicap/1m classified) but has finished last of six here (1m2f/7f) on his last two appearances; reunited with Hollie Doyle (aboard for both wins) today and might bounce back but his tendency to race too freely remains a worry. | ||
1st (5)  Fighting Poet | | | | | | 6 | Sean D Bowen | Richard Phillips | Led close home over 1m4f here (good to firm) last month and was close third over that trip here (soft) last week; today's drop back to 1m2f might not be ideal but Sean D Bowen claims a useful 3lb; high on the list. |
There is a slight question mark regarding today's drop back in trip but FIGHTING POET has been in good form over 1m4f here recently and Sean D Bowen's very useful 3lb claim might give him an edge today. Agapanther is a tricky mare to weigh up but she won easily in Jersey last week and is very attractively handicapped on some of last year's form. First Encounter and Clear Justice both need to rebound, but they also enter the equation.[Chris Wilson]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
3rd (8)  Irezumi | | | | | | 4 | Luke Catton | Jim Boyle | Off the mark over 1m2f here (good to firm) in August; again a slow starter with headgear left off (as today) when back over C&D last week although he did manage a fair fourth; has more to do in this higher grade. | ||
8th (5)  Corporate Raider | | | | | | 4 | Hollie Doyle | Julia Feilden | Had a good run of form on this course earlier in the year, winning over C&D and close second in two 1m2f runs (all on good to firm); has more on his plate today, though. | ||
5th (6)  Torbellino | | | | | | 8 | Luke Morris | Karen Jewell | Sole turf win came when beating two rivals over C&D in 2022 and was having her first run here since when going down narrowly over 1m4f last month; this is more problematic but she's on a helpful mark now. | ||
4th (7)  Remarkable Flight | | | | | | 3 | Richard Kingscote | Charles Hills | Two handicap wins over 1m2f in 2024, on this track and at Epsom (good and good to soft), but she's been kept to that trip since fading over 1m4f on AW in June; this might be too much to ask. | ||
7th (3)  Falsetto | | | | | | 3 | David Probert | Andrew Balding | Well-connected filly, by Galileo out of a two-time Listed winner at 1m4f and 1m3f; well held in two AW runs but she looked promising when fourth at Lingfield (1m3f, good; close behind a subsequent winner) on sole turf run, in August; capable of better now handicapping. | ||
6th (4)  Gearing's Point | | | | | | 6 | Trevor Whelan | Sheena West | Brought up a hat-trick at about 1m4f (good to firm and good) last summer and she later went close over C&D when 3lb higher than today; has had excuses since returning from a break but weighted to go well. | ||
1st (2)  Laser Focus | | | | | | 6 | Sean D Bowen | James Owen | In fine form in the spring, winning over 1m2f and about 1m3f (both good to firm); never involved on latest Flat run in August and beaten off lowly hurdle marks either side but not ruled out with Sean D Bowen back up. | ||
2nd (1)  Saint Riquier | | | | | | 6 | Joe Leavy | Ian Williams | Mostly hurdling since trained in Britain but he's returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning on AW (1m4f) on second run back and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last week; a big rise looms so his claims are very obvious with no penalty. |
Falsetto is interesting on her handicap debut, having run so well in her sole turf start, and Gearing's Point is also likely to show she's well treated but it's hard to take on SAINT RIQUIER who streaked home at Leicester last week and runs here without a penalty. Laser Focus is in the running of the remainder.[Emily Weber]

(6)  Rivas Rob Roy | | | | | | 9 | Darragh Keenan | John Gallagher | Six-time course winner, most recently over today's trip in May; effectively 6lb lower today but has been out of form in recent months and needs to turn a corner. | ||
(5)  Heer's Sadie | | | | | | 6 | Christian Howarth | Julia Feilden | Triple 7f course winner; gave fairly good account when third of six over that trip here at start of this month but today's extra furlong is not ideal and she's not the percentage call. | ||
4th (7)  Stopnsearch | | | | | | 7 | Edward Greatrex | Brett Johnson | Placed three consecutive times on AW in February (1m2f-1m4f) but safely held on all four starts since returned to turf in June and remains without a win since April 2021. | ||
(4)  Sorontar | | | | | | 3 | David Probert | Heather Main | Always behind on last month's handicap debut at Kempton but fared much better when third on turf debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, when he travelled well for a long way; still lightly raced; shortlisted. | ||
2nd (2)  Romanovich | | | | | | 5 | William Carson | John O'Shea | Scored over C&D (good to firm) in good style in early August and produced even better performance when adding to his tally at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; competes off another career-high mark today but needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. | ||
3rd (3)  Interestnpenalties | | | | | | 3 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Gained breakthrough win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April and finished second in three small-field turf handicaps this summer (7f-1m; twice here); ought to give another good account today but others appeal more. | ||
1st (1)  Waleyfa | | | | | | 6 | Richard Kingscote | Daniel & Claire Kubler | Came from off the pace for clearcut C&D (good to firm) win off reduced mark on last month's stable debut and lost out only narrowly at Southwell (1m, AW) a few days later; remains on a workable mark after latest 2lb nudge; good chance. |
In a competitive race for the grade the suggestion is WALEYFA (nap), who was an emphatic C&D winner on last month's stable debut and has run well in defeat on Tapeta since. Romanovich is in the best form of his career and may provide the biggest threat but Sorontar was placed on his recent turf debut and may still have potential.[Chris Wilson]

(9)  Perfect Spring | | | | | | 3 | Trevor Whelan | Patrick Chamings | Left Andrew Balding after disappointing AW nursery run last December and finished last when a big-priced outsider for last month's stable debut; entitled to have benefited from that outing but has a lot to prove. | ||
(8)  Alabama Anna | | | | | | 3 | Gina Mangan | Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Unexposed after only six starts but finished well down the field after weakening on stable debut at Southwell (7f, AW) three weeks ago; significant improvement required in first-time cheekpieces today. | ||
(5)  Too Much Trevor | | | | | | 3 | David Egan | Alice Haynes | Suggested his turn might be near when third in first-time blinkers at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in July but has suffered an alarming slump in form since; tried in a visor today; can't be supported with much confidence. | ||
| (7) Porterinthejungle | | | | | | 8 | Zoe Lewis | Thomas Faulkner | Triple C&D winner for Robyn Brisland in 2021 and came good for current stable at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in June, having reportedly benefited from the reapplication of a hood; reverted to her free-going tendencies when midfield on consecutive outings without a hood last month, though, and the headgear is again missing here. | ||
(2)  Amathus | | | | | | 7 | George Rooke | Patrick Chamings | Placed in consecutive races at Lingfield (both 7f, good) in June and is also suited by this C&D but returned from 12-week break with disappointing effort here a fortnight ago and needs that run to have brought him on. | ||
1st (10)  Forgotten Treasure | | | | | | 3 | Luke Morris | William Knight | Two wins this summer, more recently when just too strong for next-time-out winner Otago over C&D (good to firm; made all) two weeks ago; can make another bold bid off today's 2lb higher mark. | ||
(3)  Poetic Force | | | | | | 10 | Jack Doughty | Tony Carroll | Regressive veteran who is yet to win this year; drops in grade after respectable C&D fourth a fortnight ago and continues to slip down the weights but others have more appealing profiles. | ||
2nd (4)  Electric Avenue | | | | | | 4 | Pat Cosgrave | George Baker | Kept on well to make winning turf debut over C&D (good to firm) in June; two lesser efforts here have followed but she remains lightly raced and the addition of cheekpieces may perk her up today. | ||
4th (6)  Split Elevens | | | | | | 6 | David Probert | John Butler | Resurgent 6yo who scored over C&D in July and has won three of his four subsequent AW races (all over this trip); probably still on a workable mark; must be considered. | ||
3rd (11)  Ash Wednesday | | | | | | 3 | Hollie Doyle | Heather Main | Unplaced all six starts but was denied a clear run before keeping on quite well for fifth at Bath (5.7f, good) two starts ago and might have untapped potential over 7f; worth a second look. | ||
(1)  Otago | | | | | | 7 | Charlie Bennett | Jim Boyle | Just did enough to score over C&D (soft) off reduced mark eight days ago; might be a shade vulnerable under 4lb penalty today but will be fine on the faster ground and is evidently in good nick. |
Split Elevens has enjoyed a very productive spell on the AW since his C&D win in July and ought to be right in the thick of things, while Forgotten Treasure and Otago have both been in good form over C&D this month. However, it might be worth chancing six-race maiden ASH WEDNESDAY, who was keeping on well at the end of 5.7f two starts ago and may have some improvement to come over 7f.[Chris Wilson]

(7)  Hi Hoh Tonto | | | | | | 5 | Luke Morris | Matt Crawley | Ten-race maiden; returned from five-month break with respectable third of six over C&D (good to firm) for new stable 16 days ago but needs to build on that performance today. | ||
5th (2)  Batchelor Boy | | | | | | 7 | William Carson | John Gallagher | Runs this track very well and is now 3lb lower than when making all at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in the spring but recent efforts have been substandard and he needs to up his game. | ||
3rd (5)  Battleofbaltimore | | | | | | 3 | Morgan Cole | Dylan Cunha | Opened account in Yarmouth classified (5f, good to firm) in July, his 15th start, and ran quite well in that grade on Polytrack last month; has excuses for latest defeat and enters calculations here. | ||
(6)  Don't Fight It | | | | | | 4 | Joe Leavy | Jim & Suzi Best | Yet to win since 2yo season but bettered low-key seasonal/stable debut when keeping-on second to Bluebells Boy at Lingfield (6f, AW) a week ago, and could still have more to offer for her new yard. | ||
4th (3)  Tilsworth Ony Ta | | | | | | 5 | Darragh Keenan | J R Jenkins | Looked as good as ever when winning narrowly at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in July, and his recent fourth at Windsor (5f, good to firm) was perfectly respectable; went close over C&D on only previous visit to Brighton; likely contender. | ||
2nd (4)  Alfred Cove | | | | | | 5 | Hollie Doyle | Tony Carroll | Dual classified winner this summer (6f/5f) and lost out only by a neck off today's mark in 6f handicap here (good to firm) a fortnight ago; big player if addition of cheekpieces has any positive effect. | ||
1st (1)  Bluebells Boy | | | | | | 5 | David Probert | Darryll Holland | Looked in excellent nick at Lingfield (6f, AW) a week ago, travelling strongly before asserting and needing only to be pushed out to beat Don't Fight It; also suited by this C&D and commands respect under 5lb penalty. |
Bluebells Boy produced a good performance over 6f on Polytrack at Lingfield a week ago but the runner-up from that race DON'T FIGHT IT was making only his second appearance of the season and is taken to come good for her new stable at the third attempt. Tilsworth Ony Ta and Alfred Cove should also feature.[Chris Wilson]

2nd (6)  Kayack | | | | | | 10 | George Rooke | Miss Jen Harris | Placed once in six starts. Finished 9l behind Al-Hatab (A) when fifth of 7 at 16-1 on his latest outing at Bath over 1m 5f (good) in June. Runs from 1lb out of handicap. | ||
4th (5)  Aloof | | | | | | 7 | David Probert | Steve Blackwell | Placed twice in five starts. Beaten 11l behind Al-Hatab (A) at 9-2 when last of 7 on her latest outing at Bath over 1m 5f (good) in June. | ||
3rd (2)  Delicatesse | | | | | | 4 | Miss Teagan Padgett | James Owen | Unplaced in all five starts. Finished 11l behind Al-Hatab (A) when sixth of 7 at 10-1 on her latest outing at Bath over 1m 5f (good) in June. | ||
1st (4)  Sassy | | | | | | 6 | Oliver Carmichael | Steve Blackwell | Unplaced in both starts. Beaten 11l behind Victoria (A) at 12-1 when seventh of 0 on her latest outing at TRP Extras over 1m 2f (good) in May. She is wearing a hood for the first time. | ||
(1)  Storm Troupour | | | | | | 13 | Lewis Saunders | Mrs B Aashour | Placed twice in three starts. Beaten 2 1/4l by Al-Hatab (A) when second of 7 at 22-1 on his latest outing at TRP Extras over 1m 2f in September last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mitchell Hunt. | ||
(3)  Pharitz Alanood | | | | | | 5 | Charlie Price | Mrs B Aashour | Could not find dam. Beaten 12l behind Victoria (A) at 16-1 when eighth of 0 on her racecourse debut at TRP Extras over 1m 2f (good) in May. Having her first run for a new stable today, previously with Mitchell Hunt. |
Delicatesse is from an in-form stable and though she beat several of these when winning over 6f, hasn't progressed in three subsequent turf starts, including two at this level. Storm Troupour was placed here last year and with the frame to carry top-weight in this lower grade, could just roll back the years, though his younger stablemate, Pharitz Alanood, could improve past him. However, SASSY caught the eye on her last outing in a first-time hood, albeit over further. She has showed up well over 7f before fading when still green and her claimer will have her measure, having been aboard last time.
