In depth
Verdict
Top Dirham would have claims on his best but has clearly had his problems and can't be backed with confidence having disappointed badly on both outings this term. Omaha City has been taking on some top handicappers in valuable events since scoring at Goodwood off a mark of 96 in May. However, the eight-year-old seems to reserve his best for the Sussex venue and may struggle under top weight while stablemate Sawwaah has an absence to overcome so the vote goes to Donna's Double. Don Eddy's charge has been in good form this term scoring on three occasions and with conditions in his favour should give each way backers a good run.
