UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

CONFRERIE arrives on the back of two course victories, including over this distance most recently, and George Baker's gelding appears capable of defying a further 3lb rise. Blessed To Empress was disappointing when a beaten favourite here in May but could bounce back with Cieren Fallon's 7lb claim to aid her cause, while the booking of Oisin Murphy is a notable one for Pearl Spectre, who went close here last week.
Prediction : 1st Confrerie 2nd Blessed To Empress 3rd Pearl Spectre

PRECISION PRINCE has been running well enough of late to suggest he can be competitive on this occasion and the booking of Jason Watson, combined with the application of cheekpieces for the first time, can see him gain his first success on turf. Kachumba's recent form entitles her to be in contention once again, while a more positive ride might see Startego to better effect with the headgear kept on.
Prediction : 1st Precision Prince 2nd Kachumba 3rd Startego

CLARION has achieved a fair level of form in two starts to date and Sir Michael Stoute's filly appeals as having further progression to come for the step up in distance. Meqdam was disappointing when sent off an odds-on favourite at Nottingham, but is another bred to be suited by going up in trip, being out of a Cesarewitch winner. Medal Winner left behind a poor debut effort to finish second at Redcar and he is definitely capable of taking another step forward.
Prediction : 1st Clarion 2nd Meqdam 3rd Medal Winner

With Approval is a three-time Brighton winner and deserves plenty of respect despite a modest effort here two weeks ago, while Kennerton Green makes some appeal on his handicap/stable debut for Lydia Pearce following an absence. Marginal preference is for ROCKSETTE, whose last success came over C&D off this mark. Gary Moore's mare wasn't beaten far, despite finishing eighth, at Windsor recently and may be ready to add to her career tally.
Prediction : 1st Rocksette 2nd Kennerton Green 3rd With Approval

William Haggas has his team in fine order and his Lingfield scorer CRYSTAL TRIBE is fancied to double his career tally now back on turf. The well-bred Dansili colt showed a good turn of foot to break his duck, and a 4lb rise could seriously underestimate his ability. Osho was fifth behind the Britannia winner at Salisbury and then found only one too strong on his handicap bow at Newmarket. Sibylline needs a market check on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Tribe 2nd Osho 3rd Sibylline

C&D winner Sonnetina wasn't disgraced when second on soft ground at Salisbury and the return to a faster surface may help Denis Coakley's filly bounce back to her very best. A chance is still taken on PRINCESS FLORENCE, who went close here over a mile and the track regular could capitalise on a 1lb lower mark now cutting back in distance. Approve The Dream is another to consider dropping back in trip, while Haitian Spirit is worth a market check on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Princess Florence 2nd Sonnetina 3rd Haitian Spirit

The in-form BIG LACHIE has a useful record at this venue and has the chance to follow up his recent Bath victory under a 5lb penalty. He had enough in hand at the finish on that occasion to suggest he can see off the consistent track-and-trip winner Essaka, who has to be taken very seriously. Pink Flamingo is another to consider returning to a course she has thrived at this term.
Prediction : 1st Big Lachie 2nd 3rd Pink Flamingo
