(4) Gherkin 10/3, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 but went close at Bath under Hollie Doyle in August. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago and eased another 2 lb since. Player. On a handy mark; helps to give connections, who also run Notre Maison, a good hand.

14
2nd (14) (16/1 +27%) Moorgate
16
16/1(+27%)
(14) Moorgate 16/1, Last of 13 in handicap (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Return to turf needs to spark a revival. Maiden whose form claims aren't particularly solid.
3
8
3rd (8) (7/1 +22%) Heer's Sadie
7
7/1(+22%)
(8) Heer's Sadie 7/1, Pair of course wins over 7f in July. Creditable second of 7 here (7f again, heavy, 11/2) 31 days ago. Claims if as effective over this shorter trip. Has respectable 7f form here this term; likely player if proving as effective back at 6f.

4th (2) (7/1 +42%) Brilliant Blue
7
7/1(+42%)
(2) Brilliant Blue 7/1, Remains a maiden after 18 starts. 17/2, tenth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Drop to sprinting presents a question mark for this maiden.
5th
5
5th (5) (11/2 -10%) Voodoo Ray
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(5) Voodoo Ray 11/2, Two course wins this year, including over this trip last month. Good third of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford (6f) 19 days ago. Should go well again. Return to Brighton is a plus but this big field looks a negative; front-runner.
6th
13
6th (13) (33/1 -65%) Moveonup
33
33/1(-65%)
(13) Moveonup 33/1, Course winner. Back to form when second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 40/1) 19 days ago. Claims if he can build on that. Close second on AW last time but isn't certain to back up that effort.
7th
3
7th (3) (7/1 -17%) Notre Maison
7
7/1(-17%)
(3) Notre Maison 7/1, Course winner. Blinkered first time, creditable second of 7 in handicap (5/1) at this course (5.3f, heavy) 31 days ago. One of 2 solid contenders from her stable. Solid record over 5.3f here of late; likely player if proving as good back at 6f.
8th
12
8th (12) (40/1 +20%) Global Acclamation
40
40/1(+20%)
(12) Global Acclamation 40/1, Two wins from 45 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 28/1) 15 days ago. Others hold stronger claims. Has a poor strike-rate; beaten about 6l in this race last year.
9th
10
9th (10) (14/1 +50%) Neptune Legend
14
14/1(+50%)
(10) Neptune Legend 14/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Bath (5f, good to firm) 57 days ago, very slowly away. Tongue strap back on. Far from consistent for current stable; blew the start last time.
10th
9
10th (9) (6/1 +45%) Silver Diva
6
6/1(+45%)
(9) Silver Diva 6/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (1m, good, 28/1) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. Hood on first time. Chance of belated win largely depends on how well she takes to first-time hood.
11th
1
11th (1) (17/2 +15%) Firenze Rosa
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(1) Firenze Rosa 17/2, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft, 10/1) 29 days ago. Should be thereabouts granted ideal ground (all wins on softer than good).
12th
16
12th (16) (66/1 -164%) Urban Jungle
66
66/1(-164%)
(16) Urban Jungle 66/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 33/1) 57 days ago. Back down in trip. Holds poor claims on balance of form.
13th
7
13th (7) (66/1 -65%) Lucky Mascot
66
66/1(-65%)
(7) Lucky Mascot 66/1, Modest maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago. Others are much more obvious. Remains a maiden and sprinting is unknown territory.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Off a handy mark and with Hollie Doyle on board, GHERKIN could well record a second C&D win. Second choice is Malham Tarn Cove.
(2) Habrdi 16/5, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving George Boughey when nineteenth of 22 in sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 12 days ago, possibly amiss. Beaten favourite on debut and essentially regressive since; second run for J Chapple-Hyam..
2
1
2nd (1) (9/4 +32%) Daaoye
2.25
9/4(+32%)
(1) Daaoye 9/4, 9/1, promise when third of 13 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 45 days ago. Should have more to offer. Placed on Windsor debut (6f, good to firm); proficiency on softer ground is an unknown..
3
3
3rd (3) (9/4 +0%) Seax
2.25
9/4(+0%)
(3) Seax 9/4, Twice-raced maiden. Beaten favourite over 7f on AW last month but shaped well when second on his 6f Ascot debut prior to that. Worth another chance. Caught the eye on Ascot debut; fair run next time; sets benchmark with rain a slight worry.
4
4
4th (4) (12/1 +45%) Black Jack Davey
12
12/1(+45%)
(4) Black Jack Davey 12/1, Modest form. 10/1, bit below form seventh of 18 in nursery at Leicester (6f, good) 9 days ago. Plenty to find. Placed on penultimate start, but is reasonably exposed (0-6) overall; look elsewhere..
5th
7
5th (7) (13/2 -95%) Wren Officer
6.5
13/2(-95%)
(7) Wren Officer 13/2, 9/4, fourth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (6f, soft) on debut 78 days ago. Open to improvement. Ran well enough on Leicester debut (6f, soft); still early days, so could well have a say..
6th
5
6th (5) (80/1 +20%) No Sinner
80
80/1(+20%)
(5) No Sinner 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months, well held at Windsor (6f, good to soft, 100/1) on Monday. Lost his way; well beaten on soft ground at Windsor earlier this week; makes no appeal..
7th
6
7th (6) (14/1 -40%) Pannonica
14
14/1(-40%)
(6) Pannonica 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good) 62 days ago. Daaoye looks the stronger of the yard's pair. Signs of promise in her last couple of starts (Salisbury & Newbury); stablemate of Daaoye..
LTO Selection:
14:10 Brighton Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The clear form pick is the twice-raced SEAX who ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature based on his opening Ascot effort.
(5) Zayina 2/1, Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when second of 7 in minor event at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 21 days ago. Should be thereabouts. Close second at Pontefract last time; one of the main form contenders.
2
1
2nd (1) (11/8 -10%) Castle In The Sand
1.375
11/8(-10%)
(1) Castle In The Sand 11/8, Promising type. Improved when second of 6 in Thirsk (7f, soft) 31 days ago, sticking to task. That sets the standard here and there could be more to come. Two promising efforts on soft ground, including second at Thirsk; leading player on form.
3
2
3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) Crimson Road
4
4/1(+20%)
(2) Crimson Road 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. 9/4, fourth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 71 days ago, nearest finish. Remains capable of better. Has shown ability over 7f while shaping as if he'll improve for this extra furlong.
4
7
4th (7) (6/1 +57%) Gregorina
6
6/1(+57%)
(7) Gregorina 6/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 4 in novice at Newcastle (1m, 13/2) 17 days ago, still looking in need of the experience. May do better. The only runner who has experience of this track; interesting back here.
5th
6
5th (6) (40/1 -60%) Demanding Lilley
40
40/1(-60%)
(6) Demanding Lilley 40/1, 22/1, last of 6 in novice at Goodwood (1m, good) on debut 55 days ago. Last of six in 1m event at Goodwood, having been weak in the betting.
6th
4
6th (4) (125/1 -25%) Cowboy Stuff
125
125/1(-25%)
(4) Cowboy Stuff 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford (7f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Has plenty to find on form. Has the worst chance on form.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Brighton Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ZAYINA was four lengths clear of the third when she took a step forward from her debut effort at Beverley to finish second at Pontefract. If the daughter of Zarak can continue going the right way, then she could be the one to beat. Castle In The Sand sets the standard with a rating of 85 and it's hard not to see him involved in the finish, while Show Biz Kid could also get competitive.
A repeat of the form CASTLE IN THE SAND showed when second at Thirsk will likely see him get off the mark now stepping up to 1m. Geroge Boughey's Zayina can fill the forecast spot ahead of Crimson Road.
Quite an open contest, with most of the runners having possibilities. CRIMSON ROAD gets the percentage call, ahead of Gregorina.
(9) Roman Tempest 10/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Can give a good account. Inconsistent maiden; ran well on last turf attempt but isn't sure to repeat that form.
2
8
2nd (8) (18/1 +28%) Eljaytee
18
18/1(+28%)
(8) Eljaytee 18/1, Winner at Yarmouth in April. 9/1, last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 8 days ago so needs to get back on track. Off the mark at Yarmouth in April; has lacked consistency since.
3
1
3rd (1) (5/1 +23%) Mr Zee
5
5/1(+23%)
(1) Mr Zee 5/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in August. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Leicester (10f, soft, 6/1) 37 days ago so needs to bouince back. Successful three times at Windsor this term but may be in the assessor's grip now.
4
3
4th (3) (10/3 -11%) Chagall
3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(3) Chagall 10/3, Latest win at Lingfield in July. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 19 days ago, never nearer. Enters calculations. Hasn't scored on turf since 2022 but is interesting with Tom Marquand up for first time.
5th
4
5th (4) (4/1 +33%) Habanero Star
4
4/1(+33%)
(4) Habanero Star 4/1, Course winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 10/1) 9 days ago. In the mix once more. Respectable third over C&D the last twice, taking Brighton record to 123433; solid chance.
6th
6
6th (6) (3/1 +25%) Gilbert
3
3/1(+25%)
(6) Gilbert 3/1, Course winner. Solid third of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, heavy, 5/1) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on form. Creditable second at Epsom on most recent 1m2f attempt; has won here; enters calculations.
7th
2
7th (2) (7/1 -40%) Local Bay
7
7/1(-40%)
(2) Local Bay 7/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Needs considering. Successful under Hollie Doyle here (1m) two starts ago; likely player if staying 1m2f.
8th
5
8th (5) (66/1 -164%) Aryaah
66
66/1(-164%)
(5) Aryaah 66/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 10/1) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Daniel Steele. Very hard to make a case for. Not sure what to expect on debut for new yard but market support should be noted.
9th
10
9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Klip Klopp
150
150/1(-127%)
(10) Klip Klopp 150/1, 80/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do. Has poor claims on 2023 form for new stable and remains a maiden.
10th
7
10th (7) (28/1 -40%) He's Our Star
28
28/1(-40%)
(7) He's Our Star 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in August. 125/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Has done his winning at 7f/1m; record over 1m2f isn't fully convincing.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Trainer Gay Kelleway loves a winner here and Habanero Star, third on her last two starts over C&D and a winner off this mark as recently as March, is hard to ignore. She can go well but may have to give way to CHAGALL on this occasion. A headstrong sort who can pull too hard, the booking of Tom Marquand catches the eye and, if he can settle him early on, he could come out on top. He's Our Star is another to consider.
A few with chances but GILBERT rates just the pick of the weights so is taken to edge out in-form duo Chagall and Habanero Star who can chase home Adam West's 4-y-o in that order. Local Bay completes the shortlist.
Back down in trip on his first run since wind surgery, GILBERT may well record a second course win. Habanero Star is second choice.
(3) Decisive Call 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Others preferred. Ran well behind Send In The Clouds over C&D on penultimate start.
2
6
2nd (6) (7/4 +22%) Chinthurst
1.75
7/4(+22%)
(6) Chinthurst 7/4, Found some improvement when close second of 9 in handicap over C&D (good, 7/2) 9 days ago. Can race off same mark and holds strong claims. In-form 3yo maiden; clear second over C&D last week; due to go up 2lb in future.
3
4
3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Control
7
7/1(+22%)
(4) Control 7/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 16/5, running well in handicap at this course (11.9f, good) 9 days ago (disqualified after losing weight cloth). Something to find on form. Still a maiden but was runner-up twice here last month; not without a chance.
4
5
4th (5) (7/1 +13%) Silver Bubble
7
7/1(+13%)
(5) Silver Bubble 7/1, 4-time course winner. 10/3, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 9 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well suited by Brighton; didn't have the run of things back here last week; handy mark.
5th
2
5th (2) (4/1 +20%) Send In The Clouds
4
4/1(+20%)
(2) Send In The Clouds 4/1, Improved again when winning for third time in 4 starts in C&D handicap (heavy) last month. Below form at Wolverhampton since but must enter calculations here. Successful in three of his last four attempts on turf, including two Brighton wins.
6th
7
6th (7) (12/1 -20%) Tawtheef
12
12/1(-20%)
(7) Tawtheef 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 24 days ago, badly hampered. Others more persuasive. Return to Brighton may suit; runner-up in both outings here.
7th
9
7th (9) (100/1 -52%) On The Nose
100
100/1(-52%)
(9) On The Nose 100/1, C&D winner. 66/1, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Hard to fancy. 1 lb out of the weights. Change of headgear needs to spark a huge revival.
8th
8
8th (8) (10/1 +0%) Lord Clenaghcastle
10
10/1(+0%)
(8) Lord Clenaghcastle 10/1, Course winner. 9/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago, missing break. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not out of things. Ran respectably upped to 1m2f last time; just one win since 2018.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Gary Moore has won this twice since 2018 and, if Decisive Call can repeat his September C&D second, he won't be far away at the finish. CHINTHURST looks the likelier winner after going down by a neck here last time out, which saw him raised 2lb by the handicapper. However, he races off his old mark here which has to give him a great chance. Sun Festival is another for the shortlist.
CHINTHURST was clear of the remainder when runner-up here last week and can open his account. Sun Festival and Send In The Clouds look the likeliest dangers.
Provided he confirms the form of last week's C&D effort, CHINTHURST (nap) has a leading chance. Silver Bubble is second choice.
(4) Magic Memories 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 63 days ago. In the mix. Probably needs improvement but he's a lightly raced 3yo so it can't be ruled out.
2
10
2nd (10) (7/2 +0%) Optiva Star
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(10) Optiva Star 7/2, 3/1, career best when readily winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 46 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Poetic Force. Up another 4 but he's not taken lightly in his bid for a four-timer. Won on good ground here on last three starts (two 7f, then one 1m); has to make appeal.
3
8
3rd (8) (14/1 +0%) Poetic Force
14
14/1(+0%)
(8) Poetic Force 14/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 17 runs this year. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 36 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won by a nose over C&D in August; in similar form since; rarely seen on softer than good.
4
12
4th (12) (6/1 +63%) Yellow Lion
6
6/1(+63%)
(12) Yellow Lion 6/1, Winner at Salisbury in August. 16/1, only ninth of 12 to Shoot To Kill in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 23 days ago so has work to do. Salisbury win (1m, good) in August; well beaten on AW latest; possibilities back on turf.
5th
3
5th (3) (5/1 +69%) Macs Dilemma
5
5/1(+69%)
(3) Macs Dilemma 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chepstow in July. 25/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Enters calculations. Close at Chepstow on first attempt at 1m; fair 7th at Newmarket latest on his third 1m run.
6th
11
6th (11) (9/1 +18%) Marsh Benham
9
9/1(+18%)
(11) Marsh Benham 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 14/1) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Ungenuine type overall, though. Ran fairly well last time; has to be considered given his pretty solid record at Brighton.
7th
7
7th (7) (11/2 +8%) Zabbie
5.5
11/2(+8%)
(7) Zabbie 11/2, Latest win at Lingfield in August. 9/2, solid fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Shortlisted. Fair efforts in her only three attempts over this far and those don't look good enough.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
OPTIVA STAR hadn't got his head in front until his first appearance here three starts ago and Richard Hannon's gelding now bids to maintain his unbeaten record at this venue. The step up to a mile last time appeared to yield further improvement and a fourth win on the bounce may well be on the cards. Magic Memories is entitled to build on his handicap bow when fourth at Windsor in August, while Poetic Force appeals most of the remainder.
OPTIVA STAR is on a roll and fancied to defy a further 4 lb rise in the weights and complete his four-timer. In-form course scorer Macs Dilemma rates a big threat though, with the lightly-raced Magic Memories and handily-weighted Shoot To Kill also well in the mix in this open handicap.
Having come first and second over C&D at the start of September, OPTIVA STAR and Poetic Force can come to the fore again.
(5) Otago 9/2, C&D winner. 11/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can't be ruled out. Possibilities if taking well to headgear; dual C&D scorer off higher marks.
2
3
2nd (3) (7/2 +22%) Mumayaz
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(3) Mumayaz 7/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 24 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Consistent in defeat for new stable, most recently second at Leicester.
3
9
3rd (9) (15/2 +66%) Bhubezi
7.5
15/2(+66%)
(9) Bhubezi 15/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, slowly away. Has work to do. 0-11 for current yard but is well treated back on turf.
4
7
4th (7) (17/2 +29%) Fact Or Fable
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(7) Fact Or Fable 17/2, C&D winner. 5 wins from 22 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in August. 40/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 17 days ago. Not discounted. Five wins this year but has paid the price from a handicapping perspective.
5th
6
5th (6) (20/1 -67%) Moralisa
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Moralisa 20/1, 18/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal. Seven-race maiden; good third at Yarmouth on most recent 7f attempt.
6th
1
6th (1) (11/2 -22%) Roscioli
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(1) Roscioli 11/2, Course winner. 13/2, respectable 3 lengths fourth of 12 to Pavlodar in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 52 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. Won a match race here in June; respectable fourth at Chepstow last time.
7th
8
7th (8) (5/1 -43%) Done Decision
5
5/1(-43%)
(8) Done Decision 5/1, Good second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 13/2) 7 days ago, running on late. Still relatively unexposed and worth a chance to go one better than last time. Six-race maiden; finished nicely for second at Chelmsford last week; 1lb higher in future.
8th
4
8th (4) (8/1 -7%) Bonkersinabundance
8
8/1(-7%)
(4) Bonkersinabundance 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in July. Fourth of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Ran creditably last time despite traffic issues; now returns to the scene of her two wins.
9th
10
9th (10) (18/1 +45%) Larrsen
18
18/1(+45%)
(10) Larrsen 18/1, Winner at Bath in May. 50/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 9 days ago, slowly away. Won at Bath in May; has failed to match that form since.
LTO Selection:
17:05 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FACT OR FABLE has been mostly running with credit over the past couple of months and the six-year-old, who wasn't quite at his best at Bath last time, is capable of being very competitive off this mark, especially following a neck defeat at Chepstow in August. Done Decision is expected to be in the mix after his latest runner-up effort at Chelmsford. Roscioli and Mumayaz are others worth considering.
DONE DECISION was strong at the finish when second at Chelmsford a week ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he could go one better at the possible expense of Mumayaz. Roscioli is also worthy of consideration.
Turned out quickly, DONE DECISION has a good chance of opening his account. Bonkersinabundance is second choice.
(1) Fifty Year Storm 11/4, Consistent sort who posted another creditable effort when fourth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Warrants respect. This drop back in trip is worth exploring and the first-time headgear may also help.

2nd (3) (3/1 +65%) Mary Of Modena

3/1(+65%)
(3) Mary Of Modena 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newmarket in August. 6/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 29 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Appears to need a career best; yet to score off a mark this high.

3rd (8) (9/2 +55%) Muy Muy Guapo
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(8) Muy Muy Guapo 9/2, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 25/1) 7 days ago. Down in trip. Others more appealing. Inconsistent 3yo maiden who has something to prove over this trip.

4th (6) (9/4 +36%) Batchelor Boy

9/4(+36%)
(6) Batchelor Boy 9/4, Multiple course winner who took advantage of drop in weights when landing 7-runner handicap over C&D (good, 4/1) 9 days ago. Still nicely treated, despite a 5 lb penalty, and must enter calculations. Incurs a penalty for C&D success but remains well treated on peak form; respected.
5th

5th (4) (10/1 +29%) The Defiant

10/1(+29%)
(4) The Defiant 10/1, 22/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Cheekpieces back on. Something to find on form. Return to turf looks a negative, having failed to score in this sphere since 2019.
LTO Selection:
17:40 Brighton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
On Edge carries a 5lb penalty in his search for a fourth victory on the bounce and the drop back in trip from his last couple of efforts at Salisbury and Windsor is unlikely to be an inconvenience. However, he may have to play second fiddle to recent C&D winner BATCHELOR BOY, who returned to form here recently and is capable of backing that performance up. Fifty Year Storm has been performing consistently well of late and may have more to offer in first-time cheekpieces.
ON EDGE had something in hand when completing the hat-trick at Windsor earlier this month and can extend his winning run. Recent C&D winner Batchelor Boy is feared most whilst Fifty Year Storm is also of interest..
The suggestion is PUFFABLE, who may take advantage of a handy mark with Tom Marquand booked. Second choice is Fifty Year Storm.
