UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

INTERCESSOR made a pleasing return to turf when scoring by a length and a half over a mile here and he is only 4lb higher for that success. The seven-year-old struck over track and trip in September and he looks the one to beat again. Marsh Benham made the frame at Newmarket when last seen in November and it would be no surprise if he could get involved off a 2lb lower mark. Uncle Dick also holds an obvious chance after his triumph over a mile here recently.
Prediction : 1st Intercessor 2nd Marsh Benham 3rd Uncle Dick

CARIBBEAN WIND shaped with plenty of promise when hitting the crossbar behind a strongly-supported newcomer at Wolverhampton and she would have learned a great deal from that experience. Jack Channon's representative might only need to find normal improvement to score, with her main danger possibly Apeeling, who sets the standard with a rating of 77 in a first-time hood on her return. Fahrenheit Seven completes the shortlist after his second at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Caribbean Wind 2nd Apeeling 3rd Fahrenheit Seven

Chinthurst may have been fortunate to score by a short head over 1m2f here because he was allowed a soft lead and took full advantage. This is tougher and with that in mind, DAPHNE MAY might be the way to go. Gary Moore's mare was successful at Epsom the last time she was seen on turf in August last year and runs off a 6lb lower mark now so could prove tough to beat. Lexington Hero can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Daphne May 2nd Chinthurst 3rd Lexington Hero

ZAYINA gained her sole victory as a juvenile here at the third attempt in October before not disgracing herself when turned out just eight days later at Wolverhampton. Stepping up in trip has the potential to unlock a fair amount of improvement from George Boughey's filly and she is taken to make a successful start in handicap company. New Heights won twice at Epsom last season and is likely to be in the mix, along with The African Queen.
Prediction : 1st Zayina 2nd New Heights 3rd The African Queen

Lightning Bay has stepped forward on his last couple of starts with a brace of runner-up efforts at Wolverhampton and Lingfield. He switches to turf for the first time and may have more to offer, but a chance is taken on OUR PAPA SMURF. Dropped 3lb following his nursery debut at Chelmsford in November, he represents a stable that does well with similar types and it would be no surprise if the son of Too Darn Hot had more to offer. Tenyatta, Rasmah and Elforleather head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Our Papa Smurf 2nd Lightning Bay 3rd Tenyatta

ARLO'S SUNSHINE kept on well to finish third over 7f here recently and stepping back up to a mile off the same mark, he edges preference. Split Elevens should also appreciate the extra furlong and it will be no surprise if he is able to capitalise on his tumbling mark for his astute stable sooner rather than later. Cap D'Antibes completes the shortlist on his return to handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Arlos Sunshine 2nd Split Elevens 3rd Cap DAntibes

SCRAMBLE scored cosily at Kempton, prior to finishing a never-nearer fourth over the same C&D, and off an unchanged mark, she gets a tentative vote to show her rivals the way home in what looks a trappy affair. One Hart is now 8lb below his last winning rating and, sporting blinkers for the first time, he may give the selection most to think about. Autumn Flight is one of the likely pace angles into the race, but he will need to bounce back from a lacklustre effort at Yarmouth.
Prediction : 1st Scramble 2nd One Hart 3rd Autumn Flight
