Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Sussex Girl (7.30 Newmarket)

Well treated on last year's efforts and seems to be running back into form recently, including when staying on late to finish a close third at Yarmouth last time.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Gumriyah(4.45 Nottingham)

Had a bit left in the locker when making all at Salisbury in June and John Gosden's unexposed filly may have been let in lightly on her handicap bow.

Longshot: Olly Eden

Zeyzoun(5.55 Newmarket)

Eased 4lb in the handicap since making his British debut in June, without having races run to suit. The likely softer conditions and stronger pace should help bring about improvement, and James Doyle is a positive jockey booking.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Burmese Waltz (5.15 Dundalk)

Placed on her two previous starts, more recently when runner-up to stablemate Inverleigh at Leopardstown eight days ago, the Ger Lyons-trained daughter of Showcasing has to concede weight to her rivals but should be up to the task.
