Bayston Hill⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M D I Usher| OR: 70| D

12/1

Lightly-raced this summer but won a 1m2f contest on the AW at Lingfield. Not really gone on since with four unplaced runs back on turf and others make more appeal.

Lunar Deity⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Milly Naseb| T: S C Williams| OR: 65| BF| CD

7/2

Veteran, but consistent since returned to turf in May, running a series of strong races and posting figures of 212 at this venue, with the win over this trip. Likely to go well again with mark untouched.

Oceanus⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Aled Beech| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 62| CD

12/1

Won over C&D on soft going in May. Hasn't really threatened to add to tally in succession of fair runs since and might prefer to see some rain.

Luna Magic⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 62| C

14/1

Easily her best effort this season when winning a mile handicap in April here, not as good in either start since, including here last time. Up in trip and has stayed this far in the past.

Right About Now^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Seamus Cronin| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 59| CD

6/1

Eighth start in a row at this track and was a C&D winner five starts back. Had mostly struggled since off his revised mark but beaten just a neck in second 18 day ago and needs a look on that evidence.

Form: 315342

Sussex Girl⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Theodore Ladd| T: John Berry| OR: 58| CD

6/4

Both wins have come with ease underfoot, but has been running creditably of late on quicker ground, including over C&D this month. Not as good since at Newmarket but liable to give a decent account again here.

Form: 436338

Tyrsal^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Andrew Breslin| T: C Lines| OR: 55| CD

6/1

C&D winner, closely matched with a couple of these on recent C&D fifth of nine, beaten 3¼L. Entitled to have strong say from bottom of the weights.

Sussex Girl (6/4), Lunar Deity (7/2), Right About Now (6/1), Tyrsal (6/1), Oceanus (12/1), Bayston Hill (12/1), Luna Magic (14/1)

TYRSAL has a proud record in this race having claimed it in 2015 and 2016. He wasn't far away over C&D earlier in the month and looks to be on a very workable mark now in bidding to take this for the third time. That recent contest was won by Lunar Deity, who since found only one too strong when attempting to complete a double in the space of a fortnight here and is a player again. Sussex Girl was a ½L down in second attempting to close late in the same race and should go well back here. Course regular Right About Now was back to form last time and can be in the scrap for honours.
