UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

Course winner ESSAKA returned from a winter break with a good second over this trip at Windsor in late April and, expected to come on for that run, Tony Carroll's charge is fancied to gone better today. Hurricane Alert has filled the runner-up berth on the all-weather the last twice and is respected on his turf return, while Normal Equilibrium outran lofty odds of 50/1 on his Doncaster reappearance last month and contends on that form.
Prediction : 1st Essaka 2nd Hurricane Alert 3rd Normal Equilibrium

MY MOTIVATE GIRL picked up nicely once the penny dropped on debut and the manner in which she stayed on for third over 5f at Leicester that day suggested this extra furlong will be right up her street. Archie Watson's filly is taken to go two better today, although Faldetta also caught the eye when a good third on debut, over 6f at Chepstow, and is also open to improvement. Bacchalot has two lengths to find with the latter on that form, while newcomer Moontide doesn't make much appeal on paper.
Prediction : 1st My Motivate Girl 2nd Faldetta 3rd Bacchalot

A length and a half separated Cracking Speed and Under Curfew when third and fourth respectively in a similar event at Salisbury last month and both can take closer order now eased in the ratings, with the latter 1lb better with his reopposing rival. However, preference is for BARRITUS, who improved for the switch to handicapping when a close third over 7f here, form which has been boosted by the fifth winning since, and the drop to 6f looks in his favour.
Prediction : 1st Barritus 2nd Under Curfew 3rd Cracking Speed

There was plenty to like about Samstar's handicap debut 10 days ago, when making the frame over this trip at Pontefract, and he looks very capable of winning races of this mark with improvement expected from the unexposed Mark Johnston inmate. Oliver Hardy and Red Archangel both arrive on the back of decent efforts at Salisbury and can have their say again, while Mr Fox would be a player if able to transfer his recent all-weather form to turf.
Prediction : 1st Samstar 2nd Red Archangel 3rd Oliver Hardy

CHARLES KINGSLEY carries a 5lb penalty for his victory at Hamilton on Wednesday but did the job with sufficient ease to suggest he can follow up today and the Mark Johnston-trained four-year-old is relatively unexposed for his age. Trouble And Strife found Listed company too hot on his final start of 2018 but rates the biggest threat on his handicap form before that, with Perfect Illusion taken to pick up the bronze medal.
Prediction : 1st Charles Kingsley 2nd Trouble And Strife 3rd Perfect Illusion

This shouldn't take much winning and ORLIKO will find it easier than the Newmarket event he contested on his handicap debut. The step up to a mile may also suit and he just gets the nod over Followme Followyou, who could leave his maiden form behind now switched to the handicap ranks for a Mark Johnston yard in fine form. Smith wasn't disgraced on his handicap bow at Bath and a 3lb lower mark gives him a shout in this company.
Prediction : 1st Orliko 2nd Followme Followyou 3rd Smith

CONFRERIE justified the market support when scoring over 1m here on his return to handicap company last week and looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up under a 5lb penalty in this moderate 7f affair. Keep It Country Tv is a contender on his all-weather form and could prove the main threat if transferring that to turf, while Beg For Mercy rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Confrerie 2nd Keep It Country Tv 3rd Beg For Mercy
