Glass Mountain looks value at 7/1 to defy a penalty in the 2.30 at Brighton today.
James Fanshawe's gelding showed much improved form to break his duck at Yarmouth 10 days ago, when he quickened in good style to land a 16-runner handicap with more in hand than the short-head winning margin suggests.
Although the form is nothing to write home about the manner of his victory suggested that there may be more to come, and now that his confidence has been boosted I think he is capable of defying a 6lb rise in the weights.
He is one of the few runners in the field who remains relatively unexposed, and the way he finished off his race at Yarmouth suggested to me that today's extra two furlongs would be ideal.
The son of Verglas looks sure to take all the beating, and at the odds on offer looks an each-way steal.
Recommended bet: 3pts each-way Glass Mountain (7/1 Blue Square)
