UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

The step up in trip can work the oracle for EYES CLOSED on her nursery debut after a relatively promising effort over shorter at Chelmsford last month. Brandon Wilkie's 7lb claim is a major plus and she is preferred to six-race maiden Head's Gone Pal and Birkie Boy, who has finished in the first three on both starts here and deserves a change in luck.
Prediction : 1st Eyes Closed 2nd Heads Gone Pal 3rd Birkie Boy

This can go the way of DIANARA, who had shown up well on her debut in a valuable maiden at Deauville before running with plenty of credit at Newcastle last time out. The daughter of Goken should have too much for Fernden Wells, who had Floridian (third) narrowly behind when runner-up at Lingfield in August. Willy Campbell posted a career-best effort when not beaten far at Kempton last month and he cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Dianara 2nd Fernden Wells 3rd Willy Campbell

ASENSE may not have won here in four attempts, but Gary Moore's charge is in the form of her life at present and, having won with a bit to spare at Bath last week, there is every chance of her defying a 5lb penally to bring up the four-timer. She goes on any ground and it may be that recent Bath second Broad Appeal gives her the most to think about, despite the latter being winless since June 2020. Control and course specialist Temur Khan can also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Asense 2nd Broad Appeal 3rd Control

CRYPTOS DREAM was a beaten favourite on her latest start under a 5lb penalty at Ripon when attempting to back up a C&D success only a week earlier. Given enough time to recover from that display, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the four-year-old bounce back today. Chinthurst is expected to benefit from a drop in trip after his third at Epsom, while the shortlist is completed by Habanero Star and James Bradley.
Prediction : 1st Cryptos Dream 2nd Chinthurst 3rd Habanero Star

PROMETEO sets the form standard based on his two efforts to date, finishing third at Kempton before filling the runner-up spot at Yarmouth and he travelled strongly throughout that latter contest over a furlong further. The return to a mile can see him shed the maiden tag in a contest that lacks depth on paper. Rogue King comes from the family of The Fugue and is an interesting newcomer, while Leguizamo's fourth at Bath gives him a squeak.
Prediction : 1st Prometeo 2nd Rogue King 3rd Leguizamo

This is competitive for the grade, with the likes of Style Of Life (winner), a lightly-raced three-year-old, and old stager, Voltaic (third), both high on the shortlist after their encounter at Wolverhampton 15 days ago. Harry The Haggler also enters calculations back in a handicap after winning a maiden here last month. However, MOONDIAL is worth another try over this trip and, with her recent form working out well, the Kubler's filly edges the vote.
Prediction : 1st Moondial 2nd Style Of Life 3rd Voltaic

Veteran sprinter BOOM THE GROOM retains his enthusiasm and, having won two of his last three starts in gritty fashion, he could well fight his way to further success. A close third on the all-weather last time, the versatile 12-year-old won over the 6f trip here off this mark last summer and has little to fear dropping in trip/reverting to turf. Recent course winners Cuban Grey and Thank The Lord are feared, while the well-handicapped Street Parade cannot be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Boom The Groom 2nd Cuban Grey 3rd Thank The Lord
