Rising star Poppy Bridgwater will hope to continue her successful season at Brighton on the track's final day of the season on Thursday.

Bridgwater, 20, has enjoyed a profitable campaign at the quirky south coast track, winning nine times and returning a 35 per cent strike-rate on her mounts.

She said: "I've really enjoyed this season and it's been great getting winners there. I love Brighton, it would be my favourite track as I seem to get a lot of luck down there. It will be good to go back there tomorrow."
