UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

In an open race the marginal preference is for AIRBRUSH, whose previous performances in novice/maiden company suggest that an opening mark of 66 could be lenient. Bartat is another whose most recent form offers plenty of encouragement for her chances, especially her third-placed finish at Newbury last time out. Others who merit consideration are Champagne Highlife and Dreamy Rascal, who makes her handicap debut here.
Prediction : 1st Airbrush 2nd Bartat 3rd Champagne Highlife

Hariboux has to be respected having made a winning debut at Wolverhampton last month but his defeat last time out suggests that he is vulnerable under a penalty. With that in mind, preference is for SKY VEGA, who is a full-brother to the Group 1 winner Belardo and put in an encouraging effort on his debut at Doncaster last month. Herodotus is a newcomer to note being the first foal out of a mare who was placed at Group 2 level.
Prediction : 1st Sky Vega 2nd Hariboux 3rd Herodotus

BORN TO REASON stayed on to finish second on his latest start at Carlisle in June and the step back up in trip, combined with first-time cheekpieces and Cieren Fallon's 5lb claim on yard debut for Alexandra Dunn, could see him back to winning form. Templier's effort at Lingfield two starts ago over an extended 1m3f would put in the mix on this occasion, while Butterfield is better than his most recent outing at Bath suggests.
Prediction : 1st Born To Reason 2nd Templier 3rd Butterfield

JUKEBOX BLUES has shown little in three career starts to date but he could leave those efforts well behind on his handicap debut for a stable enjoying a fine season. Fair Power can enter calculations on his course form earlier this season with Darragh Keenan's claim potentially aiding his cause, while others who warrant respect include Jetstream, who wears first-time cheekpieces, and Bader, a fair third at Chelmsford last time.
Prediction : 1st Jukebox Blues 2nd Fair Power 3rd Jetstream

Tony Carroll saddles four in a contest he won in 2015 and the best of his quartet look to be course-and-distance scorer De Vegas Kid, twice a winner this term, and the consistent Poetic Force. Duchess Of Avon has made the podium on both outings since scoring over track and trip in June and looks to be still fairly treated. However, preference is for MAJESTIC MAC, who went close over seven furlongs at Newbury last time and wasn't beaten far when tried over this C&D earlier in the season. The Cape Cross gelding is just 1lb higher than his latest silver medal and has a great chance of making it back-to-back wins in this contest for Hughie Morrison and Charlie Bennett.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Mac 2nd De Vegas Kid 3rd Duchess Of Avon

WARNING FIRE ran with real credit when making the podium twice in the week in two competitive contests at the Glorious Goodwood Festival and could make a deserved return to the winner's enclosure racing off the same mark in what should be an easier contest. Shorter Skirt has to be respected on her Newbury win but was engaged to run there on Tuesday, while course-and-distance winner Kachumba could be suited by the return to this distance.
Prediction : 1st Warning Fire 2nd Shorter Skirt 3rd Kachumba

Course specialist HARLEQUIN ROSE could be the answer here, as Patrick Chamings' five-year-old was successful at this track over a mile last time and runs off just a 3lb higher mark latest. Lady Morpheus took advantage of a lowly rating to get on the scoresheet at Epsom last time and is respected following a 4lb rise, while Bath second Sea Tea Dea makes appeal dropping back to seven furlongs. Chepstow winner Seafaring Girl and Tony Carroll's Sugar Plum Fairy are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Harlequin Rose 2nd Lady Morpheus 3rd Sea Tea Dea
