Pretty Bubbles^v²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: F Sweeney| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 75| D

10/1

Cost just £800 but has returned over £48K during her career. This season's form (mainly taken place at Windsor) has been average at best though. Fully exposed and likely one or two of her younger rivals can take her measure.

Form: 356736

Storm Cry²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77| D

5/2

Winner on good ground at Ripon last summer but form soon hit the buffers. Respected now she is back on a handy mark and representing a yard with an enviable record with its southern raiders. One of the more likely winners.

Form: 322664

Monteamiata³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 75| BF| D

2/1

Won her penultimate start well but found a 3lb higher mark just beyond her next time out. Vulnerable on the same terms and comes with risks attached.

Form: 232514

Whitecrest¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J L Spearing| OR: 71| CD

7/2

Consistent at this sort of level and very capable of exploiting any weakness shown by the rest. Bonus that the filly likes this course and she has to merit consideration now she's back on a winning mark.

Form: 242252

Flowing Clarets²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 61| D

9/2

Won from a 3lb lower mark in June but the handicapper slow to relent after a handful of efforts below that level. Unable to quicken near the finish on her only other visit to Brighton. Similar scenario likely if others run true to form.

Forecasts

Monteamiata (2/1), Storm Cry (5/2), Whitecrest (7/2), One Big Surprise (4/1), Flowing Clarets (9/2), Pretty Bubbles (10/1)

A tight one to call as One Big Surprise and Storm Cry are both capable of landing a race like this. However, WHITECREST is a battle-hardened campaigner that will be well suited by the predicted conditions and her liking for this particular course could be a very valuable tool in what is likely to be a tactical race.
