UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

Bill Turner is traditionally a trainer to follow in the early part of the turf season and his Pearly Gaits is considered given she is open to progression in handicaps. By way of contrast, Colors Of Freedom is respected dropped in class after a respectable effort on the all-weather at Southwell. However, preference is for CUBAN GREY, who dug deep to land a novice event at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and remains on a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Cuban Grey 2nd Pearly Gaits 3rd Colors Of Freedom

The debut run from VIA ELECTRIANO sets the standard given she was a close second to a well-supported winner at Kempton. The daughter of Equiano showed determination in a sustained battle with the eventual victor in the closing stages and that experience gives her an edge. Mariamne is the most interesting of the newcomers and warrants a betting check, while Bath runner-up Grey Gray is suggested as the best of the rest with previous form.
Prediction : 1st Via Electriano 2nd Mariamne 3rd Grey Gray

BIG BARD has won back-to-back races before now and having run away with a 0-65 handicap at Windsor last week, he is an appealing proposition turned out under a 5lb penalty. It's an added bonus that the Gary Moore-trained gelding is also a previous C&D winner and, with Sean Kirrane pitching in with his 3lb claim, there is a lot to like. The wily Street Parade is effective here and is not dismissed, while Batchelor Boy and Pinwheel are others capable of going close.
Prediction : 1st Big Bard 2nd Street Parade 3rd Batchelor Boy

QUINAULT was quite taking when successful on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last Thursday and a 6lb penalty might not be enough to stop Stuart Williams' charge from going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner The Toff has also hit some form of late and the 3lb rise for his Lingfield triumph shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Menalippe looks like she may appreciate this return to 7f and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Quinault 2nd The Toff 3rd Menalippe

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this could be a good opportunity for TARA to gain a first career success. Lydia Richards' mare finished a respectable third at Chelmsford last month and a similar bid may suffice on this switch to the turf. Sapphire's Moon wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D recently and is feared most, with Simply Gorgeous making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tara 2nd Sapphires Moon 3rd Simply Gorgeous

ASENSE was by no means disgraced when denied a clear run on her way to finishing sixth over C&D last time out. The daughter of Equiano has been dropped 1lb for that effort and looks poised to go close with Sean Kirrane claiming 3lb in the saddle. Lisdarragh sits 1lb below his last winning mark and demands the utmost respect, despite posting a lacklustre effort at Chelmsford last month. Global Style is still a maiden on turf but may sneak minor money.
Prediction : 1st Asense 2nd Lisdarragh 3rd Global Style

This competitive contest can go to HELLAVAPACE, who kept on well to edge clear of her rivals in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton. The five-year-old escapes a penalty and can take full advantage. If she fails to fire, it would be no surprise if Storm Asset went one better than his weekend effort at Wolverhampton, when staying on into second over 7f. Rivas Rob Roy hasn't been at the top of his game of late, but this step back up in trip may yield improvement.
Prediction : 1st Hellavapace 2nd Storm Asset 3rd Rivas Rob Roy
