UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

The form of a sprint at Epsom six days ago could be worth following, with SHAMSHON (fourth) fancied to confirm placings with Harry Hurricane (sixth). The selection was a little short of room at a crucial stage there last time and has been found a nice opening by Stuart Williams. Little Boy Blue is 1-1 at this venue and enjoys fast ground, while Crystal Deauville performed creditably when third here 10 days ago following a 147-day absence.
Prediction : 1st Shamshon 2nd Harry Hurricane 3rd Little Boy Blue

AUDIO was best of the newcomers when third at Kempton 10 days ago and could take the required step forward for Richard Hannon. His price rose from 6,000gns as a foal to 24,000gns as a yearling and, given that he is a half-brother to a two-year-old 5f winner, a victory will be expected sooner rather than later. Copacabana Dancer has a penalty to carry after landing a similar event at Chelmsford 12 days ago, while Baileys Freedom could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Audio 2nd Copacabana Dancer 3rd Baileys Freedom

Nabbeyl didn't look ideally suited by fast ground at Nottingham three weeks ago, but he should enjoy this step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces could also help him to focus on the job at hand. Agent Basterfield only found one too good at Yarmouth last week, but this can go to Mark Johnston and AUTUMN PRIDE. Beaten by some smart John Gosden inmates on all three career starts, the three-year-old can find improvement on turf debut now trying handicap company for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Pride 2nd Agent Basterfield 3rd Nabbeyl

Lady Alavesa has been consistent enough on the all-weather to suggest she could exploit a 3lb lower turf mark, even taking into account the fact she's 1lb out of the handicap. Sweet Charity returned to action with a fair third at Lingfield last time and has claims, but GEETANJALI is taken to make a winning reappearance. Michael Bell's filly signed off last term with a nice win at Sandown, having gone close here the time before, so could defy a 4lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Geetanjali 2nd Lady Alavesa 3rd Sweet Charity

FALSE ID won nicely in an apprentice event at Wolverhampton eight days ago and followed up with an even more impressive success at Leicester on Saturday. He is surely going to be given more than a 5lb hike by the handicapper in time, so David Loughnane's decision to bring him out again under a penalty looks a wise one. Aqua Libre's only poor run recently came on Southwell's Fibresand so she cannot be overlooked, nor can Khazix, who ran well in defeat over course and distance last time.
Prediction : 1st False Id 2nd Khazix 3rd Aqua Libre

He's Our Star is rated only 2lb higher than when striking over 1m at Chepstow last summer and is one to monitor closely in the betting on his seasonal return, but with the benefit of a recent run under his belt, C&D winner WILSON, who won off 2lb lower on the all-weather in December, shades the vote. The British Lion has dropped 3lb below his last winning (all-weather) mark and could also figure now fitted with a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Wilson 2nd Hes Our Star 3rd The British Lion

LIGHT OF AIR bounced back to form when second over this trip at Lingfield last month and wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to gain compensation. Lunar Deity found 1m on the sharp side here last time and could relish the return to 1m2f, over which he struck at Lingfield last month. A big run could also be on the cards from Duke Of North, who was putting in his best work in the finish when third over 1m here last time.
Prediction : 1st Light Of Air 2nd Lunar Deity 3rd Duke Of North
