Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMart holds a narrow edge at the top of the ratings in this modest Brighton Class 6 sprint, and the good-to-firm six furlongs should suit a horse looking to confirm superiority over a small but competitive field. Rajeteriat and Bated Breeze are the chief dangers, rated just four and five points adrift respectively, while Dragon God also merits respect at a similar level. The selection confidence is low, reflecting how compressed the field is, but Mart's marginal advantage gives a slender reason to side with him. **Mart** is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Mart
