The Verdict
FormCast selectionMr CoolConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Mr Cool's recent form line 523131 shows he's rock solid at this minimum trip, winning twice recently and clearly in career-best form, with a win just 10 days ago suggesting he's fit and progressive rather than needing the run. Top weight-adjusted OR of 71 among the confirmed in-form runners, and Charlie Johnston's yard is firing. Draw 4 is workable at Brighton's tricky 5f. Bona Fortuna has a higher OR (75) but his form has dipped (2226-6) with a last-run defeat, and add-on headgear (tongue tie) suggests connections are trying to find a fix rather than building on peak form. Ancient Times, Crypto Quest, Pop Dancer and Diomed Spirit are all lower-rated and have less consistent recent efforts. Mr Cool's rapid quick backup win and clear trajectory make him the standout on form and conditions; he looks the most reliable price relative to his true chance in a competitive but shallow field.
