The contenders
Dreambird Dolly KTB Fit 62/100
Dreambird Dolly is a limited performer who has been placed five times from seven runs at Brighton without winning. She has shown consistent form of late with two seconds in her last six starts and is competitive on good to firm ground having been placed five times from 11 starts. First-time headgear is now tried on a horse that has won once over today's trip from 18 attempts.
Diomed Spirit KTB Fit 51/100
Limited performer who has been consistent enough this year without winning. Stall one should help at a track he knows, though his sole run here was only a modest fifth. Has won at today's trip but is 0-4 on good to firm and the trainer's modest strike rate at Brighton adds little confidence.
Recon Mission KTB Fit 50/100
Recon Mission is a limited 10-year-old who has been placed on good to firm and at this trip without winning either. He has shown bits of form at Brighton, finishing second on one of his six visits, though his recent efforts have been modest. The yard holds a solid 13 percent strike rate here from a big sample.
Hakin Adraar KTB Fit 47/100
Limited sort who has struggled to make an impact in nine starts and now drops to the lowest grade. First-time headgear is tried as he tackles 5f for the first time, a distance that remains an open question. Trainer continues in solid form at Brighton with a 25% strike-rate from 12 runs.
