Racing Post verdict
Third-partySilca Bay heads this Brighton Class 4 over eight furlongs on good-to-firm ground rated narrowly ahead of Sea Suite and marginally clear of the remainder, and his profile gives him a fair case on paper. The main dangers are Sea Suite, who is only five points behind and cannot be dismissed lightly, alongside Tex and Newfangled who make this a competitive enough heat at this level. Confidence is not high, and the proximity of the dangers means any below-par showing could prove costly. **Silca Bay** is the selection.
Racing Post pick: Silca Bay
