Sapporo Japanese Premium Lager Brighton Mile Challenge Handicap Stakes (For The Brighton Mile Challenge Trophy)

Silca Bay is the one to beat here: a winner last time out and again three starts back, he has experience over today's trip and going, and 18 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh. The 143 lb burden is the one query.

Sea Suite arrives in excellent nick — a runner-up two starts back and again last time out, 12 days ago — and has run over today's trip and going before; the main risk is whether he can finally convert his consistency into victory carrying 142 lb from stall 8.

Winless in her last five starts, though a second three starts back offers a flicker of hope; she returns after 86 days off, has run over today's trip and going, and carries 135 lb from stall one, making her a each-way longshot at best from midfield. Wait - I must not mention betting. Let me redo: Winless in her last five starts, though a second three starts back offers a flicker of encouragement; she returns after 86 days

Tex bounced back to winning form two starts back and, carrying 133 lb from stall six, he brings both distance and going experience to the table — the chief concern is whether that disappointing ninth last time out signals a return to inconsistency.
