Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Danger Alert
Danger Alert heads this ten-runner Brighton sprint on the six-furlong straight course rated narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, with Desdemona, Diamond Dreamer and Beach Partee all capable of making life difficult on good-to-firm ground, and the modest level of this Class 6 contest means the selection's advantage could be overturned if she fails to fire on the day. The selection is taken to edge it, but this is a low-confidence call. Danger Alert is our selection.
