But this Dylan Cunha runner is the likely favourite after a nice win here last time. However, that came over 1m and he’s back to 6f today – so a big two furlongs drop in trip. He’s also up 5lbs for that win, so based on last time, today’s conditions will be loads different. I’m happy to take him on with several other fair chances, including So Grateful with the experienced Serena Brotherton in the plate. *Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).* * * * ## **Worth Knowing Today – Horse Racing Stats and Fun Facts** - **Trainer Ollie Sangster has a 35% SR in the last 14 days** - **Trainer Tim Easterby is just 3-84 in the last 14 days** - **Trainer John Gallagher is just 1-25 with his 3yolds at Brighton** - **3:00 Brighton: 2/4 winners from stall 7** - **3:30 Brighton: 1/10 winning favourites** - **Trainer Kathy Turner is 3/4 (75%) in the last 14 days** - **4:30 Brighton: 7/9 winners from stalls 7 or 8** - **3:15 Pontefract: Trainer Karl Burke and jockey Clifford Lee have won the last 2 runnings** - **Trainer David O’Meara is just 3-52 in the last 14 days** - **4:15 Pontefract: 7/8 winners from stalls 6 or lower** - **6:00 Sligo: 6/7 winners stalls 5-7** - **6:30 Sligo: 5/5 winners from stall 1 or 8** - **7:00 Sligo: 7/7 winners from stalls 3-9** - **6:20 Kempton: Trainer Muir/Grassick are just 1-33 with their 2yolds at Kempton** - **6:50 Kempton: 7/9 winners stalls 1-4** - **Trainer Charlie Appleby has a 42% SR with his 3yolds at Kempton** - **8:20 Kempton: 8/8 winners stalls 5-9** - **8:50 Kempton: Trainer Sir Mark Prescott has won 3 of the last 6** - **6:10 Yarmouth: Trainer William Haggas has won the last 2 runnings** * * * ## **Today’s** Horse **Racing Longest Travellers** Glen Nevis\ Charlie Johnston\ Brighton 15:30\ 296 miles Port Darwin\ Charlie Johnston\ Brighton 16:00\ 296 miles **Endowed**\ John & Rhys Flint\ Yarmouth 17:40\ 288 miles **Wait Geordie**\ Hugo Palmer\ Yarmouth 18:40\ 224 miles **Time And Effort**\ Ivan Furtado\ Kempton 17:20\ 223 miles **Blakefell**\ Ivan Furtado\ Kempton 20:20\ 223 miles **Indy’s Angel**\ Philip Kirby\ Yarmouth 17:40\ 216 miles ## **Horses Running Today That WON The Same Race Last Year *(UK & Ireland)*** - **2:45 Pontefract: STAR START** - **3:45 Pontefract: GARDEN OASIS** - **4:15 Pontefract: BETWEENTHESTICKS** ![](https://media.readhorseracing.com/readhorseracing/2026/06/Midnite-Banner.jpg) * * * ## **FROMTHESTABLES – Get Top Daily Info Direct From The BEST Trainers** You can receive top Trainer Info Direct To Your Inboxes….EVERY MORNING (Daily FREE Quote Below) **Take a Look For Yourself –**[**JOIN FTS FOR JUST £1 HERE**](https://www.fromthestables.com/14daysfree/quotes/50/) **with PROMO CODE** ***‘POUNDTRIAL’*** ### **Today’s FREE QUOTE: WEDNESDAY 5th August 2026** **💬** #### **8:10 Yarmouth: MAYFLOWER ROCK (11/2 [Midnite](https://affiliate.midnite.com/C.ashx?btag=a_3358b_322c_&affid=924&siteid=3358&adid=322&c=))** *“Mayflower Rock showed speed first time in a handicap over 7f here last month.
