Prediction Leader
Secret Handsheikh (GB)
0%
The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out.
Rest of field
Dark Sun (GB)
0%
0-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces.
Neptune Legend (IRE)
0%
Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last Friday and he did it in good style; that gives him a big chance under just a 4lb penalty but he's run with credit at Brighton only once from eight visits.
Starsong (IRE)
0%
Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered.
On Key (GB)
0%
0-19 and modest form nowadays; also down the weights and followed three competitive 7f efforts on AW with a fair show in big field on turf last time, but this first visit to Brighton needs to spark something extra from him.
Henry Tudor (GB)
0%
Well backed when firmly on top in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford (AW) in February but that's the only time he's not been well held; usual accessories were left off that day, as they were in a handicap in March on his only start since; form case depends on that one run and this is turf debut.
Top Biller (GB)
0%
Most of his best efforts have come from the front but he just raced in touch when second at Yarmouth (6f) on latest outing, his best show this year; well handicapped if judged on peak 2025 efforts.
Bated Breeze (IRE)
0%
0-18, with his solitary second over 7f on soft; ended 2025 with two respectable thirds in October, including over 7f here on good to firm, but first time out has seen two of his best shows, so he needs a second look today.
Thanks Dad (GB)
0%
Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims.
Lynwood Lad (GB)
0%
Won a 5.5f classified on the first of his two visits to Brighton (last summer) but ran poorly in the other; latest start was easily his best in 2026 but that was in March and he's inconsistent.
Port Hedland (GB)
0%
The extended 5f at Brighton (good to firm) last May brought his only win from 27 races; his most competitive shows since were on AW this March but he was second favourite on return to turf at Bath last Friday, only to be hampered; not entirely dismissed.
Voodoo Ray (IRE)
0%
The first four of his five wins were at Brighton but no success anywhere since May 2024; discouraging record from autumn 2024 onwards.
Lil Wade (IRE)
0%
This is only his third race on turf but he finished last and second last in the others; none of his 2025 or 2026 form reads well enough and his 0-33 overall record is probably the bottom line.
