UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

Mick Channon won this 12 months ago and his son, Jack, has every chance of following up this year with PHOENIX GLOW, who was second to a rejuvenated Brian The Snail at Bath recently and remains on the same mark, with Rose Dawes' 5lb claim of assistance. Concierge impressed at Bath last month with a comfortable victory and an added 4lb may not stop from him going well again, while Batchelor Boy has won here three times off higher marks and could bounce back to form.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Glow 2nd Concierge 3rd Batchelor Boy

Stuart Williams has been among the winners recently and he may add to those with HARRY THE HAGGLER, a top-three finisher in five of his last six starts but still a maiden. He returns to a mile after coming home second over a furlong shorter at Wolverhampton and won't get many better chances to win a race than this. Rayena also has some placed form in the book but was well held in second at Yarmouth and she needs to find more here, while newcomers Jesse Luc and Hedenham are worthy of a market check ahead of their debuts.
Prediction : 1st Harry The Haggler 2nd Rayena 3rd Jesse Luc

Decisive Call looks interesting on his handicap debut and first start for Gary Moore, as he steps up in trip with sufficient stamina in his pedigree to suggest it will suit. Miss Harmony was only beaten a neck at Yarmouth off 1lb lower last month and she also has to be considered, but HABANERO STAR is narrowly preferred. Trainer Gay Kelleway loves a winner here and has booked Billy Loughane to ride, which stands out, while a return to this grade is a bonus after her second in a better race at Goodwood last month.
Prediction : 1st Habanero Star 2nd Miss Harmony 3rd Decisive Call

PLUS POINT took the step forward required to score on her handicap debut at Newbury when benefiting from cut in the ground and the weather forecast appears to be in her favour. She is taken to follow up today, despite a 5lb rise. Sword Beach is entitled to bounce back following his recent all-weather display at Lingfield last month, while Robusto, a recent winner at Newcastle, and On The Right Track appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Plus Point 2nd Sword Beach 3rd Robusto

There has been little stopping UNCLE DICK of late and the five-year-old, who arrives in search of a third C&D victory, is expected to be a tough nut to crack on this occasion. Local Bay had been knocking on the door prior to getting his head deservedly back in front here last month and commands respect off a 3lb higher mark, while a drop back in trip is likely to aid the cause of Perfect Gentleman.
Prediction : 1st Uncle Dick 2nd Local Bay 3rd Perfect Gentleman

MOONDIAL put up a solid effort to fill the runner-up spot over C&D last week, which continued her good form and she is allowed to go off the same rating today. The daughter of Time Test ought to go very close again, while Recent Salisbury second Iconic Knight has to be considered as he was only touched off by half a length and he should have no issues with the step back up in distance. Evasive Power wasn't disgraced in fifth at Chepstow over 6f last time and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Moondial 2nd Iconic Knight 3rd Evasive Power

Voodoo Ray struck by half a length over 6f at this track last time and he warrants plenty of respect off only a 2lb higher rating. However, preference is for NOTRE MAISON, who has continued in fine fettle with runner-up efforts over C&D the last twice and she can gain compensation on this occasion, with first-time blinkers applied. Areille ran well in fourth at Redcar on her latest outing and she is another to consider off the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Notre Maison 2nd Voodoo Ray 3rd Areille
