Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Noble Guest heads our ratings at 72 and looks the best fit for this Class 6 seven-furlong contest on good ground at Brighton. He is two pounds ahead of Dakota Power, so the edge is narrow, but it is enough to make him the one to beat in a competitive field of 14. Dakota Power is the chief danger, with The Organiser and Balon d'Or, both on 66, the others to keep an eye on. Noble Guest gets the nod.

Roger Teal 0/12
Dakota Power has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 70 ranks him second of 14, well clear of his official 60, so he's a leading danger despite a modest run of finishes. The big risk is a 224-day layoff, with a sixth last time out the best of his last three runs.

Noble Guest is without a win in his last six and was ninth last time out, but he has run over today's trip and going, and a third five starts back shows he can get involved. Our rating of 72 tops the field off an official 60, and he's the one to beat.

Simon Dow 1/7
Balon d'Or has a win three starts back and a fifth two runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 66 ranks him fourth of 14 and sits above his official 60. The main risk is a ninth last time out, so he needs to bounce back after 31 days off.

Berning Hot comes in fresh from a fifth last time out just nine days ago, with a second two starts back and a win three starts back showing she can pick up the pieces. She has run over today's trip and going, but 133 lb is a hefty burden, and our rating of 61 puts her fifth of 14.

Nutcracker has been consistently in the frame, with a win three starts back and a second two starts back, though he was only fifth last time out and returns after 44 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, but 131 lb from stall 5 and a ninth-ranked rating of 57 keep him in the midfield.

Finley Marsh
John Gallagher 1/5
Winless in his last six, Sun of Dolly was unplaced last time out after a seventh two starts back, though a second three starts back shows a better side; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a 36-day break gives a fresh feel. Carrying 130 lb from stall seven, he looks a midfield type on our 58 rating.

Fresh from a run nine days ago, The Organiser has placed in the frame twice in his last six, including a third three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 66 ranks him third of 14, though he is yet to win and was only seventh last time out.

King David is yet to win in his last six, though seconds three and four starts back show he can go close, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Unplaced last time, he's back after nine days from stall 11, with our rating of 60 ranking him sixth of 14.

Who Is Alice was a fifth last time out, 24 days ago, and has a third three starts back as her best recent finish, though she is winless in her last six; she has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 58 sits above her official 53, but she needs to find more to get involved from stall 13.

Alec Voikhansky
Daniel Steele 0/2
Blue Collar Lad bids to build on a third last time out, and a fourth two starts back, and he's fit enough after just five days off, having run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last five starts, he's rated 53 by us, which ranks him tenth of 14, so the ceiling looks limited from stall 1.

Rainbow Sign has been in the frame often enough, third last time out and a second five starts back, but he is winless in his last six and ranks only 11th of 14 on our figures. Back in just nine days, he has run over today's trip and going, though that hardly lifts him above an outsider's billing.

Rock Master is winless in his last six, finishing sixth last time out and no better than a fourth three starts back, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, though, and an official rating of 41 gives him a lowly mark to work from.

Mokata is hard to fancy, winless in her last six with a seventh last time out, another seventh two starts back and nothing better than a fifth in that spell. She has run over today's trip and going and is fresh from a 10-day break, but our figures rank her 13th of 14.
