Racing Post verdict
Third-partyHakin Adraar sits 5 lb below the top-rated Diomed Spirit on these figures, but a progressive profile and a fitness edge over some of the more exposed rivals make a compelling case for overlooking the bare ratings here. Diomed Spirit and Recon Mission head the dangers on their numbers, with Reporter also worth keeping onside given the competitive nature of this Brighton six-furlong contest on good-to-firm ground. The selection is **Hakin Adraar**, trusted to outrun his rating if continuing on an upward curve.
