Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Bona Fortuna
Bona Fortuna heads this Brighton six-furlong contest on a rating comfortably clear of the rest and has enough in hand over the chasing pack to make a compelling case for favouritism on merit. Mr Cool poses the most significant threat as the second-rated runner, with Ancient Times and Crypto Quest also capable of making their presence felt if Bona Fortuna fails to fire on the day. A Class 5 sprint like this can still produce surprises, and the selection's ability to handle the conditions will be the key question. Bona Fortuna is the pick.
