7/4

Much improved since the blinkers went on, completing a course hat-trick (dead-heated over C&D for latest). This much easier than the deep handicap he contested at Sandown 3 days ago.

16/5, didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner claimer at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 28 days ago, just holding on. This tougher now back in handicap/on turf.

Sir Oliver (6/4), Kendergarten Kop (7/4), Shoot To Kill (11/2), Doc Sportello (11/1), Real Estate (11/1)

KENDERGARTEN KOP finds himself back on familiar soil having struggled in a stronger handicap at Sandown on Saturday and can bounce back to form and take his unbeaten record at Brighton to 4. Sir Oliver is the obvious danger after a good run in a higher grade here 3 weeks ago.
