This is the sort of low-grade Brighton sprint where you want to keep an open mind, but there are still a few fairly obvious form anchors. Banksman brings the best rating in the field and is dropping into a race that ought to suit if handling this idiosyncratic track, while Rainbow Sign has been knocking on the door often enough to make him a major player again. Mokata is the interesting one as the only 3yo in the line-up and gets in receiving weight from her older rivals, though she still has something to prove after three uninspiring runs. Fai Fai and Barnsnape Boy are not without hope in a race lacking depth, but overall this looks more trappy than strong, and Brighton’s sharp 6f can expose any weakness in attitude or balance.
Top Selections
1. Banksman – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rose Dawes | Trainer: Sheena West | Form: 260-87 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 58
Banksman makes the most appeal because he simply sets the standard on the figures and drops into a very ordinary classified event. His last two runs do not leap off the page, but he has been contesting races where a mark in the mid-60s gave him every chance of being competitive, and this is a weaker assignment than those bare results suggest. The topspeed figure of 58 is the best on offer here too, which matters in a race where plenty have become hard to trust. Rose Dawes is more than capable in these apprentice contests, and at 3/1 he looks the one with the fewest holes in his profile. Bet: WIN
2. Rainbow Sign – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Matthew Lloyd Slater | Trainer: Mark Pattinson | Form: 0-6354 | Rating: 59 | Topspeed: 51
Rainbow Sign is not exactly crying out as a serial winner, but he has been running well enough to make plenty of each-way appeal in this company. His recent form reads better than it first appears, with a couple of respectable efforts before a fair fourth last time, and that level puts him right in the mix against exposed rivals. He does not have Banksman’s upside on ratings, but he is reliable by the standards of this race and his 51 topspeed figure keeps him competitive. At 9/2 with three places on offer, he looks the sensible each-way punt in a race where several of these are easier to oppose than support. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Banksman is the win play because he has the strongest overall profile and the best raw figures in a weak contest. Rainbow Sign makes more appeal as the each-way alternative, given his solid recent efforts and dependable level at this grade. The obvious danger is Mokata, whose age allowance makes her interesting if improving suddenly, while Fai Fai is another to keep in mind in an open-enough affair.

Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep sprint by any stretch, but it does have a pretty obvious shape to it. Big Time Rascal arrives in the best recent form after back-to-back runner-up efforts and is the one the rest have to aim at if reproducing that level from stall 4. Mister Sandman is the lurking danger on figures, with the best official mark in the line-up and a solid return run this season, while Lynwood Lad has enough raw speed to get involved if taking to Brighton’s idiosyncrasies. A few of these, such as Battle Point, Daley T and Washington Heir, need plenty to fall right and look up against it on recent evidence. In truth, this is more about reliability than brilliance, and the market leaders deserve plenty of respect.
Top Selections
1. Big Time Rascal – 5/4 with Bet365
Jockey: William Carson | Trainer: Michael Attwater | Form: 95-622 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 54
He’s hardly hiding from the assessor, but in a race of this nature he sets the standard on what he’s done lately. Those last two seconds read well enough for this basement-grade contest and his figures stack up strongly against most of these, especially with a 62 rating and a respectable Topspeed mark of 54. William Carson knows Brighton well and Attwater’s sprinters often thrive in this sort of sharp 5f test. At 5/4 he is no giveaway, but that’s because he looks the most solid option in a field short on dependable types. If he breaks cleanly and gets into a rhythm early, he should be very hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Mister Sandman – 11/4 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Ben Pollard | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: 4234-4 | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 56
He makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where not many arrive with his blend of consistency and handicap substance. His form figures suggest he’s been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, and that latest fourth after a break was perfectly respectable in the context of this race. The Moores know exactly how to place one around Brighton, and his Topspeed of 56 is actually the best in the field. He does have to overcome a wider draw in 7, which is the obvious niggle, but at 11/4 he still looks the sensible alternative to the favourite and should be in the firing line if the pace doesn’t collapse. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Big Time Rascal is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet given his recent runner-up efforts and solid overall profile. Mister Sandman is the each-way play because his figures are strong for the grade and Brighton should suit a yard that does well here. Lynwood Lad is the obvious danger if bouncing back, but the front two look the safest angles.

19:21 – Watch Live Racing On fairplaybet.co.uk ‘Confined’ Handicap (Horses With No Wins In 2026)
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Brighton handicap puzzle rather than a race packed with obvious winners, and that usually means siding with the runners who arrive in some sort of nick and can cope with the track. Rogue Dynasty has been knocking on the door and looks solid from stall 1, while Gone Rogue is another with a good recent profile despite being stuck wider out. Amused shaped well when second last time and is one to keep firmly on side, whereas Celestias Comet and Lordsbridge Grey sit in the dangerous category if bouncing forward from recent efforts. A few of these, Tactical Plan and Far And Above included, need a fair leap of faith. In a race restricted to horses without a 2026 win, reliability is thin on the ground, so current form and a workable trip look likely to decide it.
Top Selections
1. Rogue Dynasty – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Davies | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 292-44 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 73
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive with convincing recent form. Those two fourth-place finishes this season suggest he is holding his level well, and his overall profile reads like that of a horse ready to nick one when things fall right. The draw in 1 could be a real asset around Brighton’s turning 7f, and Harry Davies is the kind of rider you want in a race that may get tactical. His Topspeed figure of 73 is one of the best in the field, and 11/2 looks fair rather than stingy. He doesn’t need to improve much to take this.
Bet: WIN
2. Amused – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Pat Cosgrave | Trainer: Jim Boyle | Form: 555-02 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 70
At the prices, Amused looks the each-way play. That latest second was a clear step back in the right direction after a modest reappearance, and Jim Boyle’s horses often know exactly what is required around this sort of track. Stall 3 is handy, Pat Cosgrave is a positive booking, and this mark of 80 gives him every chance if he can build on that latest effort. He has not been the easiest horse to catch right, but in a race full of runners with questions to answer, a 10/1 quote is more than tempting. He looks the type to sit handy and keep finding.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Rogue Dynasty is the win angle here: consistent enough, well drawn, and with one of the strongest speed figures in the race. Amused makes plenty of each-way appeal at double-figure odds, especially with four places on offer. The obvious dangers are Gone Rogue, who is on a workable weight, and Lordsbridge Grey, who could do better from a low draw.

19:51 – Fairplay Lets Bet On It! Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a proper Brighton handicap puzzle rather than a race full of solid, reliable types, and that usually pays to side with horses arriving in form or those well treated at the weights. Letsbeatsepsis makes obvious appeal after returning with a decent third and he has the sort of profile to do better again, while Night Bear is one of the more dependable older campaigners in the line-up despite not winning often. Monks Mead has been knocking on the door in similar company and looks likely to be thereabouts once more, while Masqool and Celtic John are the sort who can get involved without always finding plenty. In a 14-runner Class 6 around Brighton, track craft and a handy position will matter plenty, so this looks tricky rather than deep.
Top Selections
1. Letsbeatsepsis – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Toby Moore | Trainer: Gary & Josh Moore | Form: 4226-3 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 60
He looks the most persuasive option in a race where plenty have had their chance. That seasonal return third was a solid effort after time off and it suggested this 4-year-old is ready to build on a consistent spell from last year, when he regularly gave the impression a race like this was within reach. An opening mark of 67 does not look harsh on that evidence, and a low draw in stall 2 could be a real asset around here if Toby Moore can keep him out of trouble. Available at 5/1, he makes plenty of appeal against older, more exposed rivals. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Monks Mead – 15/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: George Bass | Trainer: Mark Usher | Form: 124328 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 55
Monks Mead is not bombproof, but in a race of this nature he makes plenty of each-way sense because he has been running well often enough to think another bold show is likely. His recent form figures read better than many in here, and that earlier sequence of placed efforts says he is competitive from this mark when things fall right. He carries just 127 and has the tactical speed to hold a position before trying to creep into it late. At 15/2 with four places on offer, he looks the value each-way punt against shorter-priced rivals who come with just as many questions. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Letsbeatsepsis is the win play after a pleasing reappearance and looks one of the few with scope to improve past this grade. Monks Mead is the sensible each-way alternative in a wide-open 14-runner handicap, especially with four places available. Night Bear is the obvious danger on consistency, while Masqool is another who could easily outrun his price if getting the run of the race.

20:21 – Fairplay Daily Price Boosts Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary 3yo sprint on paper, but not an impossible one to solve. Cape Toronada brings the clearest recent form after finishing second last time and has the best topspeed figure in the field, so it is easy to see why he heads the market. Poetic Grace is edging the right way from a good inside draw, while No Claims Bonus has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front. Saeculamation is another with bits of workable handicap form, whereas Lieutenant Sir is the unexposed one returning from a break for a yard that can ready one. In truth, this is not a deep race and Brighton’s sharp 5f can turn messy, so position and pace will matter plenty.
Top Selections
1. Cape Toronada – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: William Carson | Trainer: Tony Carroll | Form: 70-642 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 59
He is the obvious starting point and, unlike plenty in here, arrives with his form in decent order. That latest second suggested this mark is workable and his figures stack up well for a race of this nature, especially with that 59 topspeed the best on offer. Tony Carroll’s runners are often seen to good effect in these low-grade sprints and William Carson knows every blade of grass around Brighton. From stall 6 he should be able to get a handy position, which is half the battle over this sharp trip. At 9/4 he is not a giveaway, but he still looks the likeliest winner.
Bet: WIN
2. Poetic Grace – 6/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Conrad Allen | Form: 09-443 | Rating: 59 | Topspeed: 48
There is enough encouragement in her last two runs to think she can get seriously involved here, and stall 1 could be a real asset if Silvestre De Sousa gets her rolling early. She was third most recently after a pair of improved efforts and looks like one gradually finding her level in handicaps. This does not demand much more than another small step forward. She is not as solid as Cape Toronada on bare figures, but 6/1 makes more appeal in a race where several have questions to answer. If she breaks cleanly and handles the track, she looks a sensible each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Cape Toronada is the win play because he has the strongest recent form and the best speed figure in a weakish Class 6. For an each-way alternative, Poetic Grace makes plenty of appeal from the inside draw with De Sousa booked. No Claims Bonus is the one I would fear most if building a shortlist, with Saeculamation another who could sneak into the frame.

Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.0) (rail movements (Good, good to soft in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is a competitive little sprint to close the card, with not much separating the principals on the figures and several arriving in decent nick. Ancient State has been admirably consistent and looks the obvious starting point after back-to-back runner-up efforts, while Merrimack has been knocking on the door in similar company and should get a good tow into this from a low draw. Kento is thriving for Tony Carroll and cannot be dismissed despite another rise, and Secret Handsheikh is the sort to outrun his price if the race falls right. Brighton over 5f can be a sharp, awkward test, so tactical speed and handling the track will matter as much as raw ratings. It is not a deep race, but it is a tricky enough puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Ancient State – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: William Carson | Trainer: Adam Kirby | Form: 51-122 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed:
Ancient State is hard to get away from because he is doing very little wrong and his recent profile suggests another win is close. Those last two second-place finishes came off this sort of mark and he looks to have found his level in sprint handicaps without looking exposed just yet. Draw 4 should give William Carson options around this quirky track, and in a race where a few have questions to answer, his reliability counts for plenty. At 11/4 he is not exactly hiding, but he still makes the most appeal as the one most likely to run his race and go one better. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Secret Handsheikh – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Callan | Trainer: John Gallagher | Form: 083003 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 74
Secret Handsheikh is not the easiest horse to catch right, but there was more encouragement in that latest third than the bare form might suggest and he is weighted to be competitive if building on it. He carries only 120 despite a rating of 82, which immediately puts him in the each-way conversation in a race lacking depth. He is an experienced sprinter who can travel strongly when things drop right, and 9/2 is fair enough in an eight-runner field paying three places. If the principals get into a battle up front, he looks the one who could pick up the pieces late. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ancient State is the straight win play because he brings the strongest recent consistency and looks set for another big run. For an each-way punt, Secret Handsheikh makes more appeal than some shorter ones given his workable weight and solid place claims. Merrimack is the obvious danger, while Kento is respected after another recent win but is now a little less generously treated.
