Blackmore Building Contractors Handicap

Brighton · 14:30 · Monday, 24 August 2026 · 5f60y · Good To Firm · Class 5

🤖 AI race preview

Merrimack leads the pace appeal with a consistent front-running record at Brighton and a career-high 135lbs mark, supported by a strong RPR of 82 and a recent win at Newmarket where he kept on well under a top-tier jockey; his form over the last two runs at Newmarket and Windsor, including a first-place finish in a Class 5 contest, makes him the most compelling in-form performer. South Shore presents a notable danger with a recent second in a competitive field at Windsor and a return to a more favourable weight, while Secret Handsheikh, despite a slight weight increase, shows late headway in a recent win and carries a strong RPR of 83, making him a value each-way player at the forecast price. Kento, though consistent, has faded late in recent outings and is unproven in this class, while Em Four, with a poor start in his last run and limited course record, remains a marginal threat.
