The Coral Sussex Cup gets underway at Hove over 515 metres next week and tonight see’s many quality performers strutting their stuff in six trial stakes writes Jason Craddock.

Mark Wallis’s Domino Storm, an impressive winner last week in 29.79sec (-20), can carry the red jacket to victory in the top division. Seamus Cahill’s Ballymac Manix, who ran well behind Calco Flyer can follow him home.

Wallis’s Calco Flyer can completer a treble in the second division. The British bred runner made all last week to record a calculated 29.60sec and can soon be in charge. Liz McNair’s Coolemore Joe, who tends to run well at a track first time up, can provide the main threat.

Blonde Nipper can complete a treble for Wallis in division three. The Harolds Cross Gold Cup winner was in the wars around the first bend last week but a decent break can see him overcome useful local runner View The moon and Kevin Hutton’s Jet Stream Jack, who locked a fast 29.83sec for 509 metres at Swindon last week.

Swift Kidman, who was in early trouble last week when going for a hat trick of wins, can take division four. Maria Collin’s bitch, a sister to Scottish Derby winner Swift Hoffman, can come powering through in the latter stages and deny the likes of Jaytee Valencia and Baran Rawhide.

There is no runner in better form than Loughteen Pedro, who can take division five. Claude Gardiner’s runner has won six of his last eight races.

He’s drawn in his favourite trap one and can prove too strong for Mark Wallis’s Swift Whirlwind.

Southfield Blue can get first run on his rivals in the sixth division. Dean Childs’ runner clocked a fast 16.11sec in a sprint trial on Monday and can quickly go clear.

Millbank Stevie is just starting to find his feet after switching from Graham Holland to Seamus Cahill and can provide the forecast link.

Underground Ace can take advantage of his rails draw in the Coral Maiden Final over 515 metres.

The penny finally dropped for Paul Young’s runner last week when he powered home from halfway to score in a calculated 29.92sec and he can get first run on fellow powerful finishers Barnish Panther and Droopys Dart.
