14:15 - Tenancy is Timeform top-rated for the opening race of the afternoon at Brighton, considered 4 lb superior to his nearest rival, and he looks a good choice in what's a potentially tricky handicap. His lack of consistency would be a slight worry for backers, however, and Louphole is also taken, that one arguably better than his recent form suggests. He could be an interesting proposition dropped back to six furlongs and racing on turf once again and hopefully the pair will be good enough to see us through.

14:45 - Perfect Honour has decent C&D form, including when second here last week, and he can go well once again at a venue where he tends to thrive. The first-time cheekpieces seemed to work on his latest outing but it remains to be seen whether this inconsistent individual can follow-up with a similar effort. Whiteoak Lady should be able to pick up the pieces if that is the case, given her solid efforts in C&D contests on her last two starts.

15:15 - Mr Fickle remains unexposed in handicaps and he should be able to improve on his third-placed effort last time out at Lingfield. The six furlongs on offer on that occasion looked to be on the short side and, with the step up in trip particularly favourable this afternoon, Mr Fickle rates as banker material in a race where he could be open to more progress than his rivals.

15:45 - Scottish Vespers improved between his first and second start and the form he demonstrated last time is good enough to see off all of his rivals this afternoon. We only need a top three finish, however, and that looks almost guaranteed if he can reproduce anything close to his best in what looks an average race.

16:15 - There isn't much to separate the runners in the fifth leg based on pure form so we're going to have to go with Tinkerbell Will, who is probably more straightforward than the majority of these. Devon Diva and Satwa Ballerina and two others who can go well in what could prove a placepot buster for many permutations.

16:45 - Shouda is an automatic selection after two impressive C&D performances in his two most recent starts and there is every reason to believe that he can run well once again back at this venue. Haymarket switched to Mark Johnston at the start of this year and he is the type who should do better for this yard, still relatively unexposed after just a handful of starts.
