6/5

Latest win at Brighton in July and posted another respectable effort despite failing to justify 11/10 price when second of 6 back at that venue (5.3f) last week. Major claims.

Forecasts

Alfred Cove (6/5), Rhubarb (13/8), Louis Treize (4/1), Darkened Edge (6/1), Pink Stripes (25/1)

ALFRED COVE has been in excellent heart at Brighton in recent weeks and this looks to be a good piece of placing by connections. Rhubarb is the obvious threat.
