(5) Secret Handsheikh 2.25/1, 50/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and this 5-y-o needs to bounce back.

3.5
3.5/1(+53%)
(3) The Defiant 3.5/1, Four wins from 17 runs last year. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 22 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

5/1(-122%)
(4) Porfin 5/1, Course winner. Four wins from 30 runs last year. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 5/1) 19 days ago, not clear run. Couldn't rule out.

6/1(-167%)
(2) Alafdhal 6/1, Five wins from 19 runs last year. Last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 10/1) 21 days ago but capable of playing a part here if he puts his best foot forward.

5.5/1(+80%)
(6) Hey Ho Let's Go 5.5/1, Four wins from 16 runs last year. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 40/1) 46 days ago. Others make more appeal.

6th (7) (6.5/1 -117%) Coronation Cottage
6.5
6.5/1(-117%)
(7) Coronation Cottage 6.5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft). Off 6 months but shouldn't be far away if fully tuned-up.
LTO Selection:
16:40 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
3.33/1 (7) CORONATION COTTAGE appears to be the strongest contender based on the summary provided. While they haven't won recently, they have shown a good performance in their last race and have had some time off to prepare for this one. 2.25/1 (4) PORFIN Course and 2.5/1 (2) ALAFDHAL also have some potential, but the former has had just one recent race and the latter had a poor showing in their last outing. 6.5/1 (3) THE DEFIANT and 25/1 (6) HEY HO LET'S GO seem less likely to do well based on their recent performances. 10/1 (5) SECRET HANDSHEIKH is a wildcard with the addition of a tongue strap, but their recent form doesn't inspire confidence.
Even though CORONATION COTTAGE makes her return to action following a 187-day absence, she has proven to run well fresh in the past. A 2lb raised mark for a decent third at Windsor last October may not be enough to hold her back here, but Porfin is another who could be in contention if reproducing the form of his penultimate run at Lingfield, where he was only beaten a length off his current mark. Of the remainder, The Defiant is worthy of consideration too.
If able to bounce back following a below-par effort last time, ALAFDHAL could be the one to beat. Coronation Cottage and Porfin can fight out minor honours.
It may be worth siding with the returning CORONATION COTTAGE who is proven fresh and feasibly treated on some of last summer's form.
(5) Revenue 1.88/1, Foaled March 26. €3,000 foal, €22,000 yearling, Profitable colt. Half-brother to useful 10.4f winner Entropy and 1m winner San Airam. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful winner up to 10.3f Azmeel.

3rd (6) (4.5/1 +25%) Qandil
4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(6) Qandil 4.5/1, Foaled April 17. 32,000 gns yearling, Churchill filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 8.3f-1½m winner Ayrad and 9.5f Dawn of Hope, both smart. Dam useful 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Likely sort on paper.

4th (4) (8/1 +20%) Mist Of Lir

8/1(+20%)
(4) Mist Of Lir 8/1, Speedily bred but little short-term promise when sixth of 9 in novice event at Southwell (5f) on debut 13 days ago.

5th (7) (12/1 +76%) Mullingar Girl

12/1(+76%)
(7) Mullingar Girl 12/1, 80/1 and weakened out of it having raced freely in the Brocklesby. .

6th (8) (22/1 +73%) Run Joy Run
22
22/1(+73%)
(8) Run Joy Run 22/1, Foaled May 3. Massaat filly. Half-sister to 9.5f winner Things Happen and 7f/1m winner Heroic. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner.
LTO Selection:
17:15 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, 7/1 (6) QANDIL and 100/1 (8) RUN JOY RUN seem to have the best potential as they have strong pedigrees with several winners in their family and are likely sorts on paper. However, it is important to note that there are many factors that can affect a horse's performance and it is impossible to predict with certainty which horse will do well.
Six of the eight runners make their debuts and preference is for DREADPIRATEROBERTS, who is a son of Soldier's Call and could have enough pace to take this on his first start. Bits And Bobs is another newcomer to be respected, as he has a few decent entries for later in the year, so could have a say. It's likely Mist Of Lir will take a step forward from his first effort and could get involved as well.
Likely this will go to a newcomer with DREADPIRATEROBERTS, Qandil and Bits And Bobs preferred in that order before the benefit of market clues.
This can go to DREADPIRATEROBERTS whose stable has a fine record with newcomers and has already hit the ground running with its 2yos.
17:15 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Diamond Cottage 5/1, 66/1, shaped as if needing the run after 7 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 4 weeks ago. Could step forward on that effort.
2

2nd (9) (12/1 +14%) No Turning Back
12
12/1(+14%)
(9) No Turning Back 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 3/1) 10 weeks ago. Makes turf/handicap debut and worth a market check.
3
1
3rd (1) (11/1 +8%) Madrinho
11
11/1(+8%)
(1) Madrinho 11/1, Ungenuine type. C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Ran poorly when last of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Kempton (7f) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and could have a say down to a career-low mark.
4
11
4th (11) (14/1 -56%) Sapphire's Moon
14
14/1(-56%)
(11) Sapphire's Moon 14/1, Sole success from 24 runs came over C&D last summer. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 40/1) 52 days ago.

18/1(-13%)
(8) Won Love 18/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 14/1, again wasn't seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 25 days ago, not ideally placed.

6th (6) (5/1 +17%) Rivas Rob Roy
5
5/1(+17%)
(6) Rivas Rob Roy 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in March. 18/1, soon back to form when fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago, running on. Has good chance on form.
7th

7th (12) (5/1 +69%) Heer's Sadie
5
5/1(+69%)
(12) Heer's Sadie 5/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 14/1, run best excused when tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 24 days ago, racing wide. Must improve.
8th

8th (2) (16/1 -113%) Twistaline
16
16/1(-113%)
(2) Twistaline 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 7/1, ran no sort of race when last of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 weeks ago. Must bounce back.
9th
5
9th (5) (3.5/1 -40%) Ballybaymoonshiner
3.5
3.5/1(-40%)
(5) Ballybaymoonshiner 3.5/1, 5/2, again ran well when second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 24 days ago, headed last ½f. Very consistent (placed on last 5 starts) so must enter calculations.
10th
7
10th (7) (8/1 +60%) Four Feet
8
8/1(+60%)
(7) Four Feet 8/1, Last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, supported 11/1), dropping away over 2f out. Was totally out of sorts when last seen 6 months ago so will need to hit the ground running to feature.
11th

11th (4) (33/1 +0%) Jack Leslie
33
33/1(+0%)
(4) Jack Leslie 33/1, Took a small step back in the right direction when seventh of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 64 days ago. More needed.
LTO Selection:
17:45 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (5) BALLYBAYMOONSHINER and 5.5/1 (6) RIVAS ROB ROY seem to have the best chances of doing well, as they have recent wins and consistent form. 12/1 (1) MADRINHO could also have a chance if the cheekpieces help him improve. The other horses have either not shown recent form or have only had minor successes, so may be less likely to do well.
Diamond Cottage was sent off a big price on her latest start when not beaten far in this company, and she was dropped 1lb in the weights subsequently which could put her in with a shout. However, preference is for BALLYBAYMOONSHINER, who has produced by far the best form on offer in this contest on his last few starts. The latest of those was at Lingfield over this trip when running off the same mark, and it's likely the gelding can go very close. Twistaline is best of the rest.
Cases can be made for several, but RIVAS ROB ROY wasted no time getting back to form when a close fifth at Newcastle just over 3 weeks ago, so he gets the nod to notch a second success of the year at the expense of the consistent Ballybaymoonshiner, who has filled the runner-up spot on his last couple of starts and may have to settle for silver once again. Diamond Cottage rounds off the shortlist.
The choice is C&D winner RIVAS ROB ROY, who made the frame in six starts here last year. He wasn't beaten far at Newcastle last time.
(10) Otago 5/1, C&D winner. 40/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 19 days ago, left with too much to do. Wouldn't be without a chance if able to build on that.
2
9
2nd (9) (3.5/1 +56%) Intercessor
3.5
3.5/1(+56%)
(9) Intercessor 3.5/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. 66/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.
3
3
3rd (3) (10/1 +50%) Rawyaan
10
10/1(+50%)
(3) Rawyaan 10/1, C&D winner. 10½ lengths last of 9 to Poetic Force in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (8f) 45 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.
4
5
4th (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Mountbatten
4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(5) Mountbatten 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm), slowly away. 10-month absence to overcome but he's of interest nonetheless. Cheekpieces applied.
5th
7
5th (7) (12/1 +76%) Macs Dilemma
12
12/1(+76%)
(7) Macs Dilemma 12/1, Course winner. Five wins from 19 runs last year. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 22/1). Off 129 days and others boast more compelling claims.
6th
8
6th (8) (7/1 +22%) Poetic Force
7
7/1(+22%)
(8) Poetic Force 7/1, Course winner. Latest win at Kempton in March. Sixth of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. One for the shortlist.
7th
6
7th (6) (7/1 +30%) Secret Strength
7
7/1(+30%)
(6) Secret Strength 7/1, Latest win at Lingfield in February. 9/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Modest strike rate on turf (1-15) and looks vulnerable.
8th
4
8th (4) (8/1 -45%) Tintoretto
8
8/1(-45%)
(4) Tintoretto 8/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 6-runner handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 40 days ago, well positioned. Went close over C&D (off a 2 lb higher mark) on sole previous visit here last summer and he's not discounted.
9th
1
9th (1) (14/1 -211%) Temple Bruer
14
14/1(-211%)
(1) Temple Bruer 14/1, Course winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. 6/1, respectable third of 14 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good) when last seen in September. Resumes on the same mark and should make his presence felt.
LTO Selection:
18:15 Brighton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
4.5/1 (2) CANOODLED seems like the strongest candidate as she had a career-best performance in her last race and has demonstrated an ability to handle different track conditions. The drop in distance should also not be an issue for her. 9/1 (8) POETIC FORCE and 4.5/1 (1) TEMPLE BRUER are also worth considering as they have won at the course before and have shown recent form.
TINTORETTO took full advantage of a sliding handicap mark when winning at Wolverhampton last month, and a 2lb rise for that success might not prevent him from following up back on the turf. The unexposed Mountbatten ought to be capable of better, with first-time cheekpieces a potential source of improvement. Canoodled bolted up at Newmarket when last seen, but she's 8lb higher.
Provided he is fit enough to do himself justice following 10 months off, MOUNTBATTEN could be the answer. He is by far the least exposed of these and the fact that his yard is in such good form augurs well. Poetic Force has winning form here and is next on the list, albeit only marginally as cases can also be made for the likes of Canoodled, Temple Bruer and Tintoretto.
Bottom-weight OTAGO (nap) makes most appeal. Just beaten on his recent return, he is 1lb lower than when winning over C&D last May.
(3) Seattle King 4.5/1, One win from 21 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2021. 17/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, heavy) 7 days ago, slowly away. Reproduction of that effort would put him firmly in the picture.
2
4
2nd (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Tawtheef
6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(4) Tawtheef 6.5/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 8/1). Off 113 days. Runner-up over C&D on sole previous start here in October and he made a winning reappearance last season on the back of a similar break.
3
5
3rd (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Come To Pass
7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(5) Come To Pass 7.5/1, Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and probably needs a couple of these to falter.
4
13
4th (13) (18/1 +64%) Vertical
18
18/1(+64%)
(13) Vertical 18/1, Ninth of 12 in minor event (12/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 65 days ago. Back up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
5th
2
5th (2) (5.5/1 +21%) Junoesque
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(2) Junoesque 5.5/1, Four-time C&D winner. 8/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) on final start of 2022. Mixed record when fresh but there's no doubt that she's capable of playing a leading role in a race of this nature.
6th
8
6th (8) (7/1 -40%) Asense
7
7/1(-40%)
(8) Asense 7/1, 9/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) on latest start in October. Still seeking first taste of success but she's not discounted.
7th
7
7th (7) (7/1 +65%) Sun Festival
7
7/1(+65%)
(7) Sun Festival 7/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.
8th
10
8th (10) (14/1 -27%) Global Style
14
14/1(-27%)
(10) Global Style 14/1, Two wins from 51 Flat runs. 9/2, creditable third of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 49 days ago. Likely to give a good account, albeit without being quite good enough to get his head back in front. One of 3 representing the Tony Carroll yard.
9th
1
9th (1) (12/1 -50%) Stormingin
12
12/1(-50%)
(1) Stormingin 12/1, Unreliable individual. Won 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 14/1) 16 days ago. Also scored over this trip at the same course in February and he needs considering.
10th
12
10th (12) (33/1 +18%) Harbour Project
33
33/1(+18%)
(12) Harbour Project 33/1, Fifth of 6 in minor event (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 52 days ago and likely to come up short once more.
11th
9
11th (9) (22/1 -120%) Persian Wolf
22
22/1(-120%)
(9) Persian Wolf 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Still, others make more appeal for win purposes.
12th
6
12th (6) (8/1 -60%) Star Of Epsom
8
8/1(-60%)
(6) Star Of Epsom 8/1, Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner minor event (5/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 24 days ago. However. it remains to be seen if she'll be able to back that up now returned to turf.
13th
11
13th (11) (40/1 -100%) Afternoon Tea
40
40/1(-100%)
(11) Afternoon Tea 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 52 days ago. Makes turf/handicap debut and improvement needed.
LTO Selection:
18:45 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary. However, 5/1 (8) ASENSE and 6/1 (3) SEATTLE KING seem to have performed well in their previous races and could be contenders. 9/1 (1) STORMINGIN and 8/1 (4) TAWTHEEF also have recent wins to their name and should be considered. Ultimately, it will depend on the conditions and how each horse performs on the day of the race.
It might be worth taking a chance on course specialist JUNOESQUE. John Gallagher's mare has no fewer than eight victories here, with the latest of those coming off a 3lb higher mark. She's berthed well in stall four and has the ability to go well when fresh, although Stormingin, who arrives on the back of a Chelmsford success 16 days ago, merits the utmost respect too. Others to note include Afternoon Tea and Persian Wolf.
It's probably best to overlook TAWTHEEF's latest performance at Wolverhampton in December and he is taken to make a winning seasonal reappearance, just as he did in 2022. Last-time-out winners Stormingin and Star of Epsom will likely prove popular but Seattle King. who was a good second at Yarmouth last weekend, and four-time C&D winner Junoesque rate the main dangers.
The mare JUNOESQUE may be able to notch her ninth course win. She hasn't been seen in six months, but has won off a similar absence.
(3) Destiny Queen 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Hooded for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 80/1) 21 days ago. Entitled to build on that.
2
8
2nd (8) (18/1 +55%) Aryaah
18
18/1(+55%)
(8) Aryaah 18/1, Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 80/1) 38 days ago. Something to find on form.
3
5
3rd (5) (8.5/1 +79%) Millions Memories
8.5
8.5/1(+79%)
(5) Millions Memories 8.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 66/1), better placed than most. Off 136 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
4

4th (2) (20/1 -82%) Ardbraccan
20
20/1(-82%)
(2) Ardbraccan 20/1, Disappointed when last seen on Flat before joining Charlie Longsdon. Failed to complete in a couple of starts over hurdles and plenty to prove back on the level for new yard. Tongue strap on 1st time/had wind operation..
5th
9
5th (9) (3.33/1 +52%) Gold Souk
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(9) Gold Souk 3.33/1, Suited by strong pace when taking 14-runner handicap (9/1) at Bath (11.6f, soft) 15 days ago. 5 lb higher now, however, and remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort.
6th
1
6th (1) (1.62/1 +28%) Sly Madam
1.62
1.62/1(+28%)
(1) Sly Madam 1.62/1, Course winner who bounced back to form when taking 13-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 4/1) 5 days ago, forging clear. 5 lb penalty to carry now but looks sure to go well again.
7th
6
7th (6) (6.5/1 +54%) Mafia Power
6.5
6.5/1(+54%)
(6) Mafia Power 6.5/1, 12/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Looks competitive on form.
LTO Selection:
19:15 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Based on the summary, it is likely that 2.25/1 (1) SLY MADAM and 4/1 (7) BIG BEAR HUG will perform well in the upcoming race. 2.25/1 (1) SLY MADAM has bounced back to form and looks set to continue performing well despite a 5 lb penalty, while 4/1 (7) BIG BEAR HUG had a strong second-place finish in their recent race and is only 1 lb higher in this race. 3.5/1 (4) ALDBOURNE and 16/1 (6) MAFIA POWER may also be competitive based on their recent performances. The other horses, including 7.5/1 (9) GOLD SOUK, 11/1 (3) DESTINY QUEEN, 12/1 (2) ARDBRACCAN, 25/1 (5) MILLIONS MEMORIES, and 40/1 (8) ARYAAH, may not be as strong contenders.
Sly Madam proved too strong for her rivals at Windsor on Monday and is turned out quickly under a 5lb penalty. That said, all of her best form has come over a mile and there has to be concerns about stepping back up in distance. The vote, therefore, goes to GOLD SOUK, who benefited from wind surgery to win at Bath earlier in the month and, with his 5lb rise negated by his rider's claim, another strong bid is expected. Big Bear Hug and Destiny Queen appeal most of the remainder.
Preference is for BIG BEAR HUG, who made a sound reappearance at Nottingham recently and should be suited by the step back up in trip. Sly Madam and Aldbourne can also make their presence felt.
The vote goes to DESTINY QUEEN who made an encouraging return from another absence at Kempton recently and drops in grade.
(4) Rhubarb Bikini 3.2/1, Is ungenuine but took a step back in the right direction despite not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 16 days ago. Potentially well treated off lower turf mark.

10
2nd (10) (18/1 +28%) Letter Of The Law
18
18/1(+28%)
(10) Letter Of The Law 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 and ran poorly in minor event at Kempton (12f) 59 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

(8) Lord Clenaghcastle 10/1, Ended long losing run by a narrow margin at Kempton in February and respectable efforts since.
LTO Selection:
19:45 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well. However, 4.5/1 (1) DAMASCUS FINISH and 4.5/1 (5) DUTUGAMUNU seem to have recent form and could be competitive. 5/1 (4) RHUBARB BIKINI and 10/1 (8) LORD CLENAGHCASTLE also have respectable recent form and could be considered as potential contenders.
DAMASCUS FINISH has appreciated the drop back in trip on his last couple of starts, with a win at Wolverhampton followed by a good third at Chelmsford, and the four-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to gain his first success on turf. Gilbert probably needed his return to action when behind the selection at Wolverhampton and he may well get closer on this occasion, while Lord Clenaghcastle's recent consistency entitles him to a place on the shortlist.
RHUBARB BIKINI is none too reliable but he took a step back in the right direction despite not being seen to best effect at Chelmsford 16 days ago and is potentially well treated from his lower turf mark, so receives the tentative vote. Dutugamunu, Royal Debut and Damascus Finish are a trio of others who merit consideration.
Perhaps the safest call is the veteran LORD CLENAGHCASTLE who has winning form here and has been doing okay on the AW.
