UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

SHAW PARK has taken a step back in the right direction on his last couple of starts here including when runner-up on Monday over a mile. Dropping back a furlong is unlikely to be an issue for Scott Dixon's gelding and this may be the perfect opportunity to finally get his head in front. Heer's Sadie scored over C&D on her penultimate outing and is respected along with Tea Sea.
Prediction : 1st Shaw Park 2nd Heers Sadie 3rd Tea Sea

This appears to be a match on paper between Union Island and DURAN, with the pair both having achieved the same rating of 76, and it is the latter who gets the vote. While the former initially started his career with promise when chasing home a subsequent Listed winner at Hamilton, he never replicated that effort in three subsequent outings. The selection, though, has improved with each run and a reproduction of his second at Nottingham last month is likely to be good enough. Lizzie Lovett and Flying Star can battle it out for third.
Prediction : 1st Duran 2nd Union Island 3rd Lizzie Lovett

KONDRATIEV WAVE bids for a second victory in a week following his successful return to classified company here over 7f on Monday, and connections seem to have found the ideal opportunity for him to back that success up. Voltaic was sent off joint-favourite when fifth in the aforementioned contest and better is expected from the eight-year-old, while others to note include Villalobos and Hold The Press.
Prediction : 1st Kondratiev Wave 2nd Voltaic 3rd Villalobos

This is not the deepest of contests and that could present CHOURMO with the opportunity to record a second success from his last three starts. The son of Postponed was a creditable third over C&D when attempting to follow up his April triumph last month. Eased in class, he should hold every chance on these terms. Damoiseau perhaps failed to see out an extended 1m3f at Windsor on Monday, but should go better dropped in trip. Others to note include Three Dons and Stopnsearch.
Prediction : 1st Chourmo 2nd Damoiseau 3rd Three Dons

Mrembo was no match for an impressive winner on her latest outing but there might not be anything of that quality in here. She merits respect eased 1lb in the ratings, as does the consistent Night Bear, who is likely to give another good account of himself. That said, a chance is taken on PRIDE OF NEPAL. Jeremy Scott's gelding met trouble when staying on over 1m2f at Bath last time and, off 5lb below his last winning mark, the six-year-old might find the required improvement.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Nepal 2nd Mrembo 3rd Night Bear

A drop in distance proved no barrier to success when VOODOO RAY completed a hat-trick over an extended 5f at Bath last month. A further 5lb rise in the ratings looks more than fair for the Ribchester gelding and a four-timer likely beckons. The progressive Conquest Of Power merits respect in his bid to land a third consecutive victory, but Mark Usher's inmate isn't sure to prove as effective switching to turf. With that in mind, A Pint Of Bear might be a bigger danger.
Prediction : 1st Voodoo Ray 2nd A Pint Of Bear 3rd Conquest Of Power

The fitting of a first-time visor proved just the tonic for last-time-out Lingfield scorer KATIE G and a 3lb rise in the ratings looks more than workable. The daughter of Zoustar will need to prove her effectiveness on turf, which gives hope to chief threats Yiengaa and Kurimu. The latter is feared most on her return to a sounder surface as Nigel Tinkler's filly is yet to place over 6f in four attempts.
Prediction : 1st Katie G 2nd Kurimu 3rd Yiengaa
