4.56 Brighton - The Thames Boatman and Correspondence clash
A trappy Download The Fairplay App Now Handicap sees The Thames Boatman and Correspondence feature.
The Thames Boatman capitalised on a sliding mark when scoring at Goodwood on his penultimate run but suffered trouble in-running when fourth next time. He should have more to offer in this similar heat under Finley Marsh.
Bottom-weight Correspondence is the chief threat for Tony Carroll and Myla Coppins. He got off the mark at Windsor last month before chasing home Aces Wild when favourite at Bath, and that form gives him solid claims here.

3.13 Hexham - Cobbler's Boy and Glory And Honour headline
Cobbler's Boy and Glory And Honour headline a quality field of seven for this Matfen Hall Hotel Handicap Chase at Hexham.
Dan Skelton's Cobbler's Boy, a winner over hurdles and fences, was a shade disappointing when beaten over hurdles on his last start but should be more at home over fences here.
Ten-year-old Glory And Honour showed he still retains his ability when successful at this track earlier this month and looks a danger as she switches to the larger obstacles.
Herja and Kientzheim cannot be ruled out, with the latter donning the famous silks of JP McManus. Once a promising hurdler for Nicky Henderson, he has enjoyed mixed fortunes over the bigger obstacles for Ben Haslam but remains talented on his day.
2.26 Brighton - Nevasca Cinza and Court Alert bid to break maiden
Nevasca Cinza and Court Alert look to break their duck in the Brighton & Hove Fostering Maiden Stakes at 2.26pm.
The James Fanshawe-trained gelding is yet to score in five starts but is officially rated 77 and on the pick of his form, he can go close with Billy Loughnane a notable booking.
The Middleham Park-owned Court Alert, rated 78, has undergone a wind operation since last seen well beaten at Leicester. He showed a useful level of form last season and must be feared if the surgery has the desired impact.
Newcomer Ridger should be monitored in the market for the Jason Watson and Ollie Sangster combination.
