Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMarcellinus holds a clear edge over his rivals on these figures, sitting six pounds ahead of Bona Fortuna and seven clear of The Quiet Gent, and the good-to-firm ground at Brighton over six furlongs should pose no problems. Bona Fortuna and The Quiet Gent are the most likely dangers, with Cayman Tai not without a shout either if the principals disappoint. Confidence is modest given the competitive nature of the field, but the ratings point one way. **Marcellinus** is our selection.
