Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThe Organiser shares the top rating in this Class 6 Brighton seven-furlong contest with Redredrobin, putting the pair narrowly ahead of Viking Glory and King Cherry, who represent the chief dangers from the chasing pack. With conditions on the quick side of good, there is little to split the top two on ratings alone, though The Organiser's claims are respected enough to edge him into selection. The Organiser is the pick, though this is a close call and Redredrobin in particular could easily reverse matters.
