Silver Trumpet is the market favourite but the numbers tell a cautionary tale: he wins roughly 1 in 9 races and hasn't won on good-to-firm or good-to-soft ground, which matters on a fast, dry Brighton track. His best record is actually at this distance (3 wins from 15), but recent form shows two defeats in his last three outings, with a 49-day break before today.

"He won at Salisbury last year but I think the handicapper got hold of him a bit - he went up 9lb for his win. He's had a wind op and I put him at Newbury on Tuesday. 02-07-25"

North View is the editorial selection and shares the top rating with his main rivals, but the odds have drifted dramatically from 1.35 to 6.4, suggesting market doubt. He's placed in 2 of his last 3 races including a narrow second just 14 days ago, but crucially he hasn't won on good ground in 9 attempts—a significant concern on Brighton's dry surface.

Serenity Dream has the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 8 races and just won at Chepstow 21 days ago, suggesting sharp form. He also has a 30% win rate over this 7-furlong distance, but the real problem is zero wins from 10 starts on standard ground—and today's good, dry surface is his weakest terrain.

Dion Baker is the standout course specialist here with 4 wins from just 9 Brighton races (44%)—a record no other horse in this field comes close to matching. At seven years old with 70 career races, he's also the most experienced horse here, and won at this exact course and distance just 30 days ago, though he ran poorly at Newmarket just 6 days back.

Just Jump is the lowest-rated horse in the field (8 pounds below average) and also the youngest at four years old, with only 2 wins from 25 races. He ran just 2 days ago and finished third, but with zero wins on standard ground and zero wins from 16 starts on left-handed galloping tracks, he faces an uphill battle at a course that doesn't suit his profile.

State Of Madness is a genuine Brighton enigma: he's won 2 of just 3 races at this track, yet won only once elsewhere across his full career. He ran a respectable second here just 45 days ago, but he's been silent since and hasn't won on standard ground or good ground—again, the conditions work against him today.
Dontspoilasale shares the top rating on paper but the market has abandoned him (odds drifted from 1.35 to 26.0), and for good reason: he's won just 5 times from 60 races and hasn't placed in his last three outings. With zero wins on good ground across his career, he's fighting the conditions as well as the opposition.
One of the more successful in the field (5 career wins)
How do odds work?The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
