Mr Fox says

Sangara (SR:49, 8/1, Wgt:9-2) is the standout on the basis of a 37% market shortening — by far the most dramatic move in the field — which is a strong signal that connections expect a big run on just 8 days rest. At SR:49 it matches Oh So Audacious for the joint-highest ability rating in the field while carrying a workable 9-2. The DistFit:? is a mild unknown but not a proven negative, and on a track like Brighton where pace and freshness matter, a horse dropping back in quickly with stable confidence is a real asset. The HG:h (hood) introduction adds a further layer of intent from connections, suggesting they expect the headgear to sharpen up a horse whose recent form of 030-55 shows some spark. Each-way alternative: Twilight Guest. Main danger: Twilight Guest — Twilight Guest (SR:41, 11/1) has Course:W2P2 at Brighton — proven course specialist with wins here — plus DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ both positive, and a MarkMv:-14 meaning it runs off a mark well below its last winning mark, giving it a significant handicap edge if it recaptures anything close to its best form.
