Consistent front-runner type who has finished second, second, and third in her last three starts, Sea Of Charm arrives here just eight days on from her latest effort and has experience of today's distance and going — winless in recent starts, but her level of consistency makes her the one to beat.

SR 62 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Highland Harvey has solid claims on recent form, placed in four of his last six starts including a win three starts back, and he handles today's distance and going; the concern is that his 150 lb burden could blunt his finishing effort.

SR 64 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Stintino Sunset has been a model of consistency, placing in five of her last six starts, and having run over today's trip and going she arrives with relevant experience and a speed rating that edges above her official mark — the worry is she remains yet to win in recent starts.

SR 58 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last six starts and ranked fifth of six on our figures, Wrist Art looks up against it here, though he has run over today's trip and going before and was placed two starts back, at least suggesting some residual ability.

SR 53 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Fresh from a solid second three starts back, Little She arrives here on a sound 26-day break with experience over today's trip and a rating of 52 that edges above her official mark; the risk is that she has been winless in her last six starts and must prove she can convert.

SR 52 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in his last six starts, with a string of mid-field finishes and an unseating in recent form, The Pug is hard to fancy ranked bottom of the field on our figures; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 18 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh.

Highland Harvey (SR:64, 9/4) is the highest-rated runner in this modest Class 6 field and arrives in sharp form with a recent 3-5-2-1-3-3 sequence — notably a last-time-out third just 6 days ago suggests peak fitness. Trainer Gihan Arnolda has a 16% strike rate from only 31 runners, indicating a compact but efficient yard that doesn't run horses without purpose. The 10-10 weight gives a 6lb pull on top-weight Sea Of Charm (11-2), meaningful on a track like Brighton. The GoingFit:- is the one legitimate concern — the horse has a poor record on good ground — but at 9/4 in a six-runner amateur riders' handicap where it holds a clear SR edge, the class advantage overrides that caution.
Each-way alternative: Sea Of Charm.
Main danger: Sea Of Charm — Sea Of Charm (SR:62) has a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground — the one meaningful edge over Highland Harvey — and its recent form (676322) shows a consistent closing move, while the MarkMv:-1 drop keeps connections interested at 3/1.
