14:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Bonkersinabundance	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(2) Bonkersinabundance 8.5/1, Maiden who wasn't disgraced when eighth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, pushed along 2f out but never on terms. Best effort at 2 yrs came at this venue and has first crack at sprinting now. On reduced mark but she's 0-7 and needs a transformation on this switch to sprinting.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 +11%) Havana Heat	2 2/1(+11%)	(7) Havana Heat 2/1, Remains a work-in-progress but displayed much-improved form on back of being gelded/12 weeks off when just touched off in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 6 days ago, having been well supported. No surprise to see him out quickly and worth considering. Major improvement when going close at Lingfield last week; big player off same mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.25/1 +29%) Zous Baby	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(4) Zous Baby 1.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who stepped up plenty on his yard debut effort when runner-up in 7-runner Lingfield handicap (6f) 52 days ago, running on late and just failing. Didn't look entirely straightforward under pressure but not discounted with yard going well. 0-6 but he went close over 6f at Lingfield (AW) last time and is respected back on turf.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +25%) Senor Pockets	9 9/1(+25%)	(1) Senor Pockets 9/1, 5f nursery winner on AW last summer who wasn't disgraced when third on return at Kempton (6f) in April. Not in same form tackling soft ground when sixth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f) since but return to this sounder surface may help. Has mixed record since his AW win last summer and others are more convincing.
5th	3 5th (3) (7.5/1 -7%) Wedgewood	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(3) Wedgewood 7.5/1, Plenty in hand when completing a 5f Wolverhampton hat-trick last month. May have found busy spell catching up with her when third in 4-runner Bath handicap (5f) thereafter but given time ahead of this and better showing not ruled out. Three AW wins this spring and her latest run at Bath may have come too soon; respected.
6th	5 6th (5) (22/1 -83%) Sajwaan	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Sajwaan 22/1, 9/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 70 days ago, fading final 1f having been better placed than most. Needs a couple of these to falter. Edging down the weights but he's now 0-10 and has bit to prove back on turf.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

HAVANA HEAT proved far more competitive when runner-up on his handicap debut at Lingfield last Thursday and he should take some stopping now turned out quickly before his 4lb higher mark kicks in. Zous Baby also arrives in good form from the all-weather and Clive Cox's gelding is feared most. Wedgewood has yet to prove as effective on the turf, nevertheless, the daughter of Outstrip still makes more appeal than the remainder.

Despite still looking a work-in-progress, HAVANA HEAT displayed much more than previously on back of being gelded/switched to handicaps when just touched off at Lingfield 8 days ago. He can come out on top with the likelihood of more to come operating from such a low base. Zous Baby and Wedgewood may well emerge as the chief dangers.

Zous Baby and HAVANA HEAT both went close on AW at Lingfield last time and slight preference is for Charlie Hills's gelding.

14:30 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.75/1 +71%) Bernard Spierpoint	1.75 1.75/1(+71%)	(1) Bernard Spierpoint 1.75/1, Modest gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 16/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago. Visor back on. Shortlist material. All four wins have been at 5f on Tapeta and he's been well held in last three runs.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +30%) Mr Fayez	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(4) Mr Fayez 3.5/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Good second of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago, running on. Every chance if backing that up. 0-24 but he went close at Lingfield (6f, AW) last time and is respected back on turf.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 -175%) Master Sully	2.5 2.5/1(-175%)	(3) Master Sully 2.5/1, Ran right up to best when second of 9 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, just failing. Sound claims. Has record of 1-19 but he had a near miss here last time; major player back up in trip.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 +10%) Mr Pc	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Mr Pc 9/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022 and is struggling for form this year, only seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (5.3f, good to firm) 17 days ago, unable to sustain effort. His losing run is up to 15 and has finished down the field here in his last two starts.
5th	2 5th (2) (20/1 +50%) Bluebell Way	20 20/1(+50%)	(2) Bluebell Way 20/1, Modest filly who wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 14 days ago. Sole win was in 2021 and she's not got involved in four runs for new yard this season.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -60%) Viewfromthestars	8 8/1(-60%)	(6) Viewfromthestars 8/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 8/1) 15 days ago. Bounce back called for. 19-race maiden who didn't fire at Chelmsford last time and others are more persuasive.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

MASTER SULLY was just denied here over an extended 5f last month and, with a return to this distance likely to suit, a first success on the turf could be on cards now switched to a classified stakes contest. Mr Fayez ran one of his better races when runner-up on the Lingfield turf last Tuesday and has less question marks to answer than most, while Bernard Spierpoint also enters calculations.

BERNARD SPIERPOINT was sticking on well by the end on his return at Wolverhampton 4 days ago and is sure to be sharper for the run, so he's selected to record a first win on turf. Master Sully and Mr Fayez are feared most.

This can go to MASTER SULLY, who was back at the top of his game with a near miss in a C&D handicap two weeks ago.

15:00 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (28/1 -211%) Princess Chizara	28 28/1(-211%)	(5) Princess Chizara 28/1, Foaled April 19. 65,000 gns 2-y-o, Cotai Glory filly. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner out of winning half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Roi de Vitesse. Yard 0-11 with their juvenile runners on turf in last 5 seasons. This looks a tough starting point and yard is 0-28 with 2yos in recent years.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.22/1 +45%) Mashadi	0.22 0.22/1(+45%)	(3) Mashadi 0.22/1, Son of Blue Point who has found only one too good all 3 starts to date, latterly in 10-runner Bath novice (5f) 14 days ago, hanging left last ½f and not quicken only close home. Shown more than enough to land a race of this nature and obvious claims. Runner-up in all of his three starts and he sets a useful standard; should be hard to beat.
3	2 3rd (2) (14/1 -56%) Commander Crouch	14 14/1(-56%)	(2) Commander Crouch 14/1, Foaled April 20. €60,000 foal, 45,000 gns yearling, Mehmas colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Disegno and useful winner up to 2m King's Vow. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. One to note on debut. Stablemate of Mashadi and interesting to see how he figures in market on debut.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +23%) Budding Poet	5 5/1(+23%)	(1) Budding Poet 5/1, Foaled April 25. Calyx colt. Dam 1¼m-11f winner. In form yard's first juvenile runner of the campaign and the market should prove a useful guide here. Has good standard to aim at on debut and he looks a longer-term prospect on pedigree.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Brighton Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MASHADI has finished runner-up on all three appearances to date and the Richard Hannon-trained colt looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to gain a breakthrough success. Mammy should have learned plenty from her opening bid at Newmarket last month and an improved performance looks possible, but newcomer Budding Poet possesses a nice blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree and the son of Calyx may emerge as the biggest threat.

MASHADI has shown more than enough in 3 starts to date to think a race of this nature is within reach and he can put his vast experience edge over his rivals to good use and make it fourth time lucky. His stablemate, Commander Crouch, makes appeal on paper and may emerge as the chief threat.

This looks a good opportunity for MASHADI, who has finished runner-up in all of his three starts and sets a useful standard.

15:30 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (0.67/1 +62%) Sun Festival	0.67 0.67/1(+62%)	(9) Sun Festival 0.67/1, Modest gelding. One win from 28 Flat runs but posted excellent second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago. A reproduction of that form could see him resume winning ways. Has been knocking on the door in last three runs including on turf at Windsor; big player.
2	2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Global Style	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(2) Global Style 6.5/1, Modest gelding. Two wins from 55 Flat runs. Seventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Needs to up his game. Has record of 2-55 and both wins were on Polytrack last summer; others preferred.
3	3 3rd (3) (33/1 -106%) Harbour Project	33 33/1(-106%)	(3) Harbour Project 33/1, Modest gelding. One win from 23 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 25 days ago. Won at Wolverhampton last April but he's been generally disappointing since.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -100%) No Diggity	10 10/1(-100%)	(6) No Diggity 10/1, Modest gelding who ran one of his better races when fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Caught the eye at Yarmouth last week and he could be dangerous on his step up to this trip.
5th	7 5th (7) (8.5/1 -143%) Persian Wolf	8.5 8.5/1(-143%)	(7) Persian Wolf 8.5/1, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 31 days ago, no match for winner. Bang there with a repeat. Dual AW winner but he's had just four turf runs and the latest was a heavy defeat over C&D.
6th	1 6th (1) (12/1 +70%) By Pass	12 12/1(+70%)	(1) By Pass 12/1, Modest maiden hurdler, looked none too keen last time. Of a similar level on the Flat, respectable on last run in this sphere. Blinkers back on. 0-16 under both codes and was tailed off in a maiden hurdle last time; opposable.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -82%) Reel Power	20 20/1(-82%)	(8) Reel Power 20/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 74 days ago, not clear run. Blinkered on for 1st time. Improvement required. Still lightly raced but he needs to raise his game back on turf; blinkers added.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 +0%) Mofridge	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Mofridge 16/1, German maiden winner but has made little impact for his current yard. Down the field in all five runs for new yard this year including at 1m and 1m2f last twice.
9th	5 9th (5) (25/1 -108%) Moveonup	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Moveonup 25/1, Poor gelding. Course winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 40/1) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Hood on 1st time. No impact since Chelmsford win (6f) in January and has plenty to prove at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Runner-up on his last two starts, SUN FESTIVAL deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion with conditions in his favour. The son of Toronado has not won since last April but he has the services of the in-form Neil Callan to call upon this time around, which may be enough to give him the edge. He can see off the likes of No Diggity and Persian Wolf, who has been in consistent form of late without getting his head in front.

SUN FESTIVAL has found only one too good on his last 2 starts so he appeals as the most solid option in a weak event. Persian Wolf is considered the main threat ahead of No Diggity, who moves up in trip.

The leading contender is SUN FESTIVAL (nap), who has been knocking on the door recently including at Windsor on his penultimate run.

16:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 12f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.4/1 -21%) Glenister	0.4 0.4/1(-21%)	(1) Glenister 0.4/1, Thriving on back of wind op/9 months off, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps at up to 12f in recent days. 10 lb penalty to deal with on turf debut but highly likely there's further progress in him for shrewd yard. Two AW wins within the last week; open to further progress; makes turf debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.2/1 +36%) Eton Blue	3.2 3.2/1(+36%)	(2) Eton Blue 3.2/1, C&D winner who made a winning return to action at Windsor (10f) last spring prior to pair of good placed efforts. Exploits mixed thereafter so hopes pinned on a break perking him up. Yard in good form. C&D winner on sole attempt in Class 6; goes well fresh; interesting contender.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 +18%) It's How We Roll	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) It's How We Roll 33/1, 14/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 38 days ago, missing break and making little impression. Likely best watched at present. Has a doubt over current form judged on two efforts for new yard.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -25%) Junoesque	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Junoesque 20/1, 8-time course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Tongue tie added to cheekpieces now. 8-24 at Brighton; likely player if she returns to top form with tongue-tie added.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -20%) Largo Bay	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Largo Bay 12/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022, winning 4 times (including this race from 2 lb lower). Strictly operating below best in recent starts, fourth in 7-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago. However, no surprise to see him thereabouts. 2-3 at Brighton, including a win in this race last year; good chance if back to best.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to look past GLENISTER, who like his stable has been in top form of late with a pair of comfortable victories at Lingfield. Being a son of Gleneagles, the switch to turf should hold no fears and he is readily preferred to Largo Bay, who may need a revival in form but does go very well around here. The well-handicapped Eton Blue has gone well fresh before and is also of interest.

GLENISTER has took his form up a notch recently, landing back-to-back Lingfield handicaps, and a 10 lb penalty may not be enough to anchor Sir Mark Prescott's 4-y-o. Eton Blue, a winner on his return last term, and last year's winner Largo Bay can give the selection most to think about.

Glenister has to be feared but ETON BLUE is an interesting alternative and Largo Bay is another to consider.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +73%) Roscioli		3 3/1(+73%)																															(1) Roscioli 3/1, One win from 24 Flat runs and ran below form on first run since leaving Andrew Balding when fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Well treated if the return to turf suits; second start for new yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (0.25/1 +86%) Girl Inthe Picture		0.25 0.25/1(+86%)																															(2) Girl Inthe Picture 0.25/1, C&D winner. 16/5, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 2 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Fourth at Nottingham on Wednesday; scored over C&D last August; not dismissed.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Rivas Rob Roy struck over C&D last month by a neck and he has been raised 3lb for that display, which is likely to keep him in contention. However, preference is for SPIRIT WARNING, who shaped well on his return to action over 7f here and could take a step forward from that run going back up in trip. Roscioli is another to note as he takes a drop in grade.

GIRL INTHE PICTURE is a previous C&D winner who arrives in decent heart for a stable going well, so she's the percentage call. Rivas Rob Roy is feared most ahead of Spirit Warning.

In-form RIVAS ROB ROY is taken to follow up last month's C&D success. Spirit Warning is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (0.91/1 -60%) Marsh Benham	0.91 0.91/1(-60%)	(3) Marsh Benham 0.91/1, Produced a career best to resume winning ways in 11-runner handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise tolerable and fancied to follow up. Has the ability to take a serious hand provided he copes with drop back to 7f.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 +36%) Lucky Mascot	18 18/1(+36%)	(5) Lucky Mascot 18/1, Ran poorly in a first-time tongue strap when tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm, 100/1) 23 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Maiden; best effort for current yard when fourth here on penultimate start.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Gnat Alley	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Gnat Alley 2.5/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 7 months but won on return from 2 lb higher last season so interesting. Mixed results for current stable but now drops in class off a handy mark; possibilities.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +38%) Queen Sarabi	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(6) Queen Sarabi 7.5/1, C&D winner but came home tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 17 days ago. Bit to prove. Modest mare but she's suited by Brighton and sole success came over C&D.
5th	4 5th (4) (6.5/1 +28%) Split Elevens	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(4) Split Elevens 6.5/1, Unreliable individual who followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when last of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 44 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Sole turf win came at this venue; having Brighton form is a plus.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The recent Chepstow winner MARSH BENHAM should have no problem handling this slight step down in trip and the four-year-old is hard to oppose off a 3lb higher mark. Queen Sarabi disappointed last time but is a player based on her previous placed effort over C&D. The rest all have questions to answer but Lucky Mascot is arguably the pick of them.

MARSH BENHAM resumed winning ways with a career best at Chepstow last month and a 3 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him from following up if turning up in similar form. Gnat Alley is capable fresh having won on her reappearance last season from a 2 lb higher mark, so she looks most interesting of the opposition.

A chance is taken on GNAT ALLEY back from an absence. Marsh Benham is second choice.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
