  1. Moreginplease
    • Pros: Best rating, promising previous performance, well drawn for this race.
    • Cons: Faced a much tougher challenge in its last run at Newmarket.
  2. Lightning Point
    • Pros: Close second in rating, consistent in performances, comes from a stable in good form.

    • Cons: Disappointing performance in its last race, which raises questions about its current form and consistency.

Given the analysis, Moreginplease and Lightning Point seem to be the more reliable choices, with Socialise as a potential dark horse that can surprise.

3.15 Brighton (10 runners)
ABF Soldiers Charity Handicap
1m4f 

  1. Miss Sligo:
    • Pros: Demonstrated recent form, performing well on turf. Her success at a similar distance and her recent second-place finish on fast ground make her a strong contender. Also, she is competing at the same mark, indicating she is not being penalized for recent performances.
    • Cons: The majority of her wins are on AW, which means she might not be as consistent on turf.
  2. Global Style:
    • Pros: His recent form, especially his win and near-win at this course and distance, show he’s in good shape. The recent success indicates he’s comfortable at Brighton.
    • Cons: The 5lb rise could be a challenge, but based on his current form, he should still be competitive.
  3. Cloudy Rose:
    • Pros: With two wins at this course and distance and only 2lb above her last win, she’s proven herself at Brighton. The highest total score also suggests she’s a strong competitor.
    • Cons: Her last two performances were not up to par, indicating she might be off her peak form.

Conclusion: While other contenders like “It’s How We Roll” also show promise, based on a combination of statistical data and recent form, Miss Sligo, Global Style, and Cloudy Rose emerge as the top three contenders.

  1. Harappan (USA)
    • Pros: High total rating, winner in recent race, good ratings for trainer and jockey.
    • Cons: Uncertain performance on turf due to American dirt pedigree.

    • Cons: Recent form has been poor in maiden/novice events.

    • Cons: Couldn’t make a significant impact in her last race.

Given the data and notes analysis, The Big Jetaway seems to be the front runner due to consistent performance metrics and a beneficial weight advantage. The Galahad Kid follows closely, having demonstrated great potential, but the penalty might be a downside.

Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap
7f 

  1. Spanish Mane (IRE)
    • Pros: Strong performance in recent starts and versatile in terms of ground condition. Previous C&D winner.
    • Cons: Age might be a factor in terms of stamina and speed.
  2. Batchelor Boy (IRE)
    • Pros: Has a history of winning at this track, even with a higher handicap.

Based on the data and notes, Spanish Mane seems to be the most reliable pick, having shown consistency and adaptability to different ground conditions. Batchelor Boy, while being a bit of a wild card, has a strong history on this track. Marsh Benham has had wins but also unpredictability in behavior.

Follow BresBet On Twitter Handicap (AWT)
1m4f

  1. Robusto (IRE)
    • Pros: Proven over the course and distance, which is a significant positive. Being a Prescott 3yo implies that the horse might still have room for improvement.
    • Cons: The horse hasn’t been straightforward, showing inconsistencies, especially in a recent turf race.
  2. Turner Girl (IRE)
    • Pros: Consistency is a crucial factor in racing, and Turner Girl has demonstrated this. Winning at another all-weather track and the backing of the form through the runner-up are strong positives. The booking of Oisin Murphy, a top jockey, is another positive sign.
    • Cons: She’s up 4lb which means she’s carrying more weight due to her recent win. This could potentially slow her down.
  3. Royal Athena
    • Pros: Recent win at this C&D is a clear positive. Maintaining form after a win can sometimes be challenging, but she has managed to remain in form.
    • Cons: Might face stiffer competition this time around compared to her last win.

  2. Any News (IRE)
    • Pros: Consistent performer with good speed and jockey ratings. The recent second-place finish at Uttoxeter shows capability.
    • Cons: Hasn’t secured a win over fences yet. Might find this race more challenging given the competitors.
  3. Jesuitique (FR)
    • Pros: Strong hurdler with potential in chases given the pedigree. Recently came close to winning at Cartmel. Suitable ground conditions.
    • Cons: Transitioning to chases and might need some time to adapt. Also, is facing a 4lb penalty.

Based on the data and notes, Farouk De Cheneau stands out as the prime contender given the recent form and key metrics. Any News, despite having no wins over fences, has shown enough capability to be a serious challenger. Jesuitique, given the lineage and recent form, can be considered a dark horse in this race.

Becks Handicap Hurdle (Div 2)
2m1f 

  • 1. Simply Red:
    • Pros:
      • She’s unbeaten at this track, which indicates a preference or aptitude for it.
      • Charlie Maggs claims 10lb which provides a significant weight relief, potentially offsetting the 6lb higher she’s carrying this time.
    • Cons:
      • While she’s up 6lb from her last win, this could make the race more challenging.
      • The note doesn’t mention any exceptional strengths beyond her performance at this track.
  • 2. Gifted Angel (IRE):
    • Pros:
      • Has good form on the Flat and has transitioned well to hurdles.
      • Demonstrated strength in his last race by leading from the start on good to soft ground.
    • Cons:
      • This is his handicap debut at this level, which might present a new challenge he hasn’t encountered before.
  • 3. Minella Plus (IRE):
    • Pros:
      • He’s a three-time hurdle winner, which demonstrates consistent performance.
      • Has the highest total score among all contenders.
    • Cons:
      • His last two wins were over fences, not hurdles, and since returning to hurdles, he hasn’t been in top form.

Summary: Simply Red seems to be a top contender due to her unbeaten record at this track and the weight relief from Charlie Maggs’ claim. Gifted Angel is promising with his transition from Flat to hurdles and his recent performance, but his debut at this handicap level introduces uncertainty. Minella Plus, despite having the highest score, seems to have lost some of his hurdles form recently, but his previous performance shouldn’t be overlooked.

    • Pros: The horse has the highest overall rating, won on this exact course and distance just 17 days ago, and has a high last race rating.

    • Cons: Her most recent performance was not up to the mark, which might suggest form issues.

    • Pros: Trained by the reputable Dan Skelton which can often be an advantage, has shown potential over hurdles, and the horse’s odds suggest that there’s some market confidence.
    • Cons: Her temperament in the latest race, where she was too keen, might suggest she’s not always easy to manage in a race.

In conclusion, while On Cloud Nine seems to be the standout choice due to her recent win and high scores, both Teeceethree and Flat White have their merits.
