14:43 – Coast Cremations Cup Classified Stakes
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.7) (watered) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper Brighton sprint handicap in all but name: low-grade, sharp, and full of runners with bits and pieces of form that give them a squeak. Manhattan Chute heads the market, but he comes here on the back of a couple of poor efforts and looks short enough for a horse with questions to answer. Valsharah has been knocking on the door and gets the inside draw, while Big Time Rascal arrives in better nick than most after a series of solid efforts in similar company. Port Hedland and Washington Heir both won last time and can’t be dismissed, but neither looks bombproof in a 12-runner dash over this quirky 5f. It’s not a strong race, but it is a tricky one, and track position could decide plenty.
Top Selections
1. Valsharah – 4/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Harry Davies | Trainer: Michael Appleby | Form: 246044 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 45
Valsharah makes plenty of appeal in a race where few arrive with reliable recent form. She has been holding her level well enough, finishing fourth on her last two starts, and that consistency counts for plenty in this grade. The inside stall is a definite plus around Brighton’s sharp 5f, and Harry Davies is the kind of rider you want in a race that may be won by getting the fractions right from the gate. Off a mark of 60 she is not obviously thrown in, but she does set a fair standard for this lot. At 4/1, she looks the percentage call.
Bet: WIN
2. Big Time Rascal – 6/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Kieren Fox | Trainer: Michael Attwater | Form: 5-6224 | Rating: 60 | Topspeed: 54
Big Time Rascal is the one who makes most each-way sense. He has been running well without quite getting his head in front, but those recent figures of 6224 read well in the context of this modest race. His Topspeed figure of 54 is one of the better numbers on offer here, and that suggests he has the raw pace to cope with a proper 5f test. The draw in 11 is not ideal at Brighton, so he may need a bit of luck early, but if Kieren Fox can slot in and keep him balanced, he has every chance of being thereabouts. At 6/1, he looks a solid each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Valsharah is the win play because she looks the most trustworthy option in a race packed with unreliable types, and the draw only strengthens her case. Big Time Rascal is the each-way alternative for those wanting a bit more cover in a big field. The obvious dangers are Manhattan Chute if bouncing back and last-time-out winners Port Hedland and Washington Heir.

15:13 – Sheephaven Bay And Tipsytipsters Remembering Boony Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: 6.7) (watered) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly tight little 7f handicap rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to the pair arriving in the best nick, King Of War and Rogue Dynasty. The former comes here off a win and is clearly thriving for Michael Wigham, while Rogue Dynasty has been knocking on the door and probably sets the standard on balance. Buy The Dip also has a recent win-and-second profile that makes him relevant, especially if this turns tactical, while My Boy Harry is at least consistent enough to keep the principals honest. Brighton’s idiosyncratic track often rewards balance and position, so this may be decided by who gets into rhythm early rather than by raw ability alone. It is a winnable race, but not an entirely straightforward one.
Top Selections
1. Rogue Dynasty – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Davies | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 92-442 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 64
Rogue Dynasty has been giving every indication that his turn is near, and this does not look the strongest Class 5 he will ever contest. His recent sequence of placed efforts reads well enough in the context of this race, and an official mark of 82 leaves him with the best rating in the field. James Owen’s runner has been holding his form, and Harry Davies is the type you want around a track where decision-making matters. At 9/4 he is no giveaway, but he does look the solid option if reproducing the level of those latest efforts. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Antiquity – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Jamie Osborne | Form: 145478 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 75
Antiquity is not arriving with the neatest recent figures, but there is enough in his profile to make him interesting at the prices. That Topspeed figure of 75 is the best on offer here, and in a race where a few of these are tightly matched on official figures, that catches the eye. Drawn in stall 1, he could get a handy position around Brighton if breaking cleanly, and that can be a major asset over this trip. He needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser runs, but 17/2 makes him the one at a bigger price who could outrun market expectations. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Rogue Dynasty is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet given his consistency and clear place near the top of the ratings. For an each-way angle, Antiquity looks the value play from a good draw with the best Topspeed figure in the field. King Of War is the obvious danger after his latest success, while Buy The Dip is another with place claims.

15:43 – Bet Now With fairplaybet.co.uk Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 6.7) (watered) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a small-field 3yo handicap, but it is not especially deep and the market should have this about right. Hove Ranger arrives with the most persuasive recent profile after getting off the mark before shaping well in defeat next time, and he looks the one with a bit more upside than these. Denby’s Dream has the best Topspeed figure in the line-up and is not easily dismissed from stall 1 if bouncing back, while She’s Crafty has shown enough in patches to suggest she can be competitive at this level. Aneirin’s Sword has become a little disappointing after a brighter start, and Bennyworth looks more exposed. In truth, this feels a race where recent momentum and track position could prove decisive rather than raw class.
Top Selections
1. Hove Ranger – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Rhys Clutterbuck | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: 96-215 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 36
Hove Ranger is the solid one here and, in a race lacking depth, that counts for plenty. He got his head in front two starts back and backed that up with a respectable fifth last time, so his current form reads better than most of these. An opening mark of 70 still looks workable in this company, especially as there should be more to come from a 3yo with only a handful of runs under his belt. Rhys Clutterbuck knows Brighton well, and this sharp, undulating track can reward a horse arriving in form. At 9/4, he is not a giveaway, but he is hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Hove Ranger is the win bet and the only play. Each-way betting makes little appeal with just two places on offer and a short field. Denby’s Dream looks the obvious danger if able to build on his better figures, while She’s Crafty is the one who could nick a place if the favourite underperforms.

16:13 – Fairplay Daily Price Boosts Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 6 | Going: 6.7) (watered) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly ordinary Brighton Class 6, but not a hopeless one, and there are at least a few with realistic claims. Little She arrives in the best recent nick after a solid second and looks sure to be popular, while Bohemian Breeze comes here on the back of a win and is clearly thriving again for Gary & Josh Moore. Annexation is a standing dish in this grade and won’t be far away if the race sets up for him, while Man Is King has been admirably consistent for much of the year. Brighton’s quirks often reward balance and tactical speed, and in a field of eight that could matter plenty. It looks the sort of race where current wellbeing and the ability to travel smoothly down the hill may prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Little She – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Ashley Lewis | Trainer: Marcus Tregoning | Form: 2-6532 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 64
Little She makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking depth. Her recent 2 suggests she is knocking loudly at the door, and that topspeed figure of 64 is the best in the field, which catches the eye in a modest handicap like this. She gets in here with just 125 and looks the type who should be well suited by Brighton if holding a position early. Tregoning’s mare has been running herself into form rather than bouncing in and out, and at 10/3 she still looks backable rather than cramped. In a race full of exposed older handicappers, she is the one I’d want on side most.
Bet: WIN
2. Man Is King – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Josephine Gordon | Trainer: David Flood | Form: 114154 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 57
Man Is King looks the each-way value if you want to play against the obvious pair at the head of the market. His form figures tell a straightforward story: he has been holding it together well in similar company and rarely runs a complete dud. That latest fourth was perfectly respectable, and he has already shown this season that he can get his head in front when things fall right. Josephine Gordon is a positive booking around a track where track craft matters, and 6/1 feels fair for a horse with this level of consistency. He may not have loads in hand, but he does have solid place credentials.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Little She is the win play here, chiefly because she brings the strongest recent profile and the best topspeed number into a weakish Class 6. For an each-way alternative, Man Is King looks the sensible option at 6/1 given how reliable he has been. Bohemian Breeze is the obvious danger after winning last time, while Annexation is the old pro who could easily get involved again.

Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: 6.7) (watered) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a fairly typical Brighton sprint handicap: exposed older sprinters, a few arriving in form, and not a lot between them on the figures. Dion Baker comes here chasing a four-timer and is the obvious starting point despite another rise in the weights, while Havana Mojito has been knocking loudly on the door with back-to-back seconds and looks sure to be popular again. Prefer The Sister and Joycean Way also bring solid recent placed form, while Starsong is one of the more interesting lurkers if this quirky track suits. It is not a deep race in quality terms, but it is competitive enough, and in a field of 11 the pace, position and handling of Brighton’s undulations could easily prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Havana Mojito – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Callan | Trainer: John Gallagher | Form: 0-4522 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 55
Havana Mojito gets the vote because he looks the one arriving at the race in the steadiest vein of form without having his mark get completely away from him. Those last two second-place finishes suggest he is right on the edge of cashing in, and a Topspeed of 55 is perfectly respectable in this grade. Drawn low in stall 2, he should be able to hold a handy position round here, which is rarely a bad thing at Brighton over 6f. At 11/4 he is no giveaway, but he looks solid rather than spectacular and that counts for plenty in a race full of exposed handicappers. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Starsong – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Davies | Trainer: Michael Appleby | Form: -29435 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 61
Starsong appeals as the each-way play because his overall profile is a bit more attractive than his bare form figures might first suggest. He has been running creditably in similar company, his mark of 64 looks workable, and that Topspeed figure of 61 is one of the best in the field. From stall 3, Harry Davies should have options, and if this turns into the usual Brighton burn-up, Starsong has the sort of back-form to travel into it strongly. Michael Appleby’s runners in these low-grade sprint handicaps are always worth a second look, and 7/1 feels fair in a race where only a few make strong win appeal. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Havana Mojito is the percentage call for the win bet, as he brings the most reliable recent form and looks set for another big run. Starsong is the each-way punt at the bigger price, especially with three places on offer. Dion Baker is the obvious danger if defying his latest rise again, while Prefer The Sister also has claims in a race where the margins should be tight.

17:15 – Yeomans Toyota Proace Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: 6.7) (watered) (rail movements (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This has the look of a modest but workable 3yo sprint, and the market has latched on to Norcross Brow after a string of respectable efforts in slightly better company. He sets the standard on recent consistency, but Brighton’s sharp, idiosyncratic 6f can catch out short-priced favourites and this is not quite the penalty kick the betting implies. Pimentel appeals as the obvious danger after returning with a solid second and still looks capable of a bit more in handicaps. Venetian Romance has bits of form that give her a squeak if bouncing back, while Electrocution is weighted to be competitive if rediscovering his earlier zip. With Pretty Danielle a non-runner, this is a small-field handicap where track position and handling the track could prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Norcross Brow – 5/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Saffie Osborne | Trainer: Charlie Clover | Form: -24683 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 65
Norcross Brow is the percentage call. He has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, but that recent profile reads well enough in the context of a Class 6 at Brighton and his mark of 74 does not look beyond him. The latest third suggested he remains in form, and the Topspeed figure of 65 is perfectly solid against these. Saffie Osborne is a positive booking around this track where balance and decisiveness matter, and if he gets into a smooth rhythm he should take a bit of passing. At 5/4 he is no giveaway, but he is still the likeliest winner.
Bet: WIN
2. Pimentel – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Ashley Lewis | Trainer: Marcus Tregoning | Form: 512-62 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 52
Pimentel looks the value alternative and makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race lacking depth. He signed off last season with a win and a second from his first two handicap starts, then returned from a break with another solid runner-up effort, which hints there may still be a bit of upside from a mark of 72. He does not have the same recent speed figures as the favourite, but this is a race where attitude and progress count for plenty, and Marcus Tregoning’s runner fits that mould better than most. Available at 7/2, he is the one to side with if you want to oppose the jolly without getting reckless.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Norcross Brow is the sensible win play because he brings the most reliable recent form and should be well suited by the level. Pimentel is the each-way option at the bigger price, especially with three places on offer in a seven-runner field. Venetian Romance is the danger if able to improve on her latest run, but the main betting angle is straightforward: win on Norcross Brow, saver each-way on Pimentel.
