UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

James Park Woods hit the crossbar in a classified event over 1m2f at Ffos Las month and he ought to go close back in the handicap ranks, but may come out second best to HELLAVAPACE. Jonathan Portman's charge struck in convincing fashion over track and trip last week and she could prove tough to beat again. Spanish Mane is also a player based on the form of her victory at Lingfield two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Hellavapace 2nd James Park Woods 3rd Spanish Mane

JIFF'S ARMY took a big step forward from his debut effort to finish second at Epsom last month and he may have more to offer. Stuart Williams' juvenile looks well placed to shed his maiden tag at the third time of asking. 32,000-euro purchase Tuscan Star is related to plenty of winners and would be interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Of the remainder, Kildonan makes the most appeal after his third at Deauville.
Prediction : 1st Jiffs Army 2nd Tuscan Star 3rd Kildonan

VOODOO RAY finished a close-up third in a similar grade last week and the son of Ribchester remains on the same rating. Gary and Josh Moore's five-year-old may only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to get back to winning ways. Secret Handsheikh finished two places in front of Thismydream (seventh) at Sandown last time and he can confirm that form, while first-time cheekpieces could eke out more from Libra Tiger and he is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Voodoo Ray 2nd Secret Handsheikh 3rd Libra Tiger

SPRING returned a cosy winner over course and distance on her nursery bow and the Kodi Bear filly carries a 6lb penalty for that success, but should have no trouble confirming her superiority over Cassandraalexandra (second) and Lift Lady (third). Inshad may prove a bigger threat with blinkers applied on the back of finishing second at Chepstow, while it was soft going when Lucky Lottery placed in a claimer at Beverley in May and she can get involved.
Prediction : 1st Spring 2nd Inshad 3rd Lucky Lottery

Fighting Poet scored on fast ground over course and distance last time, but it took him 20 attempts before finally opening his account and the less exposed INNISFREE PEARL makes more appeal. Tom Ward's three-year-old left her novice form behind when finishing third on the soft ground at Windsor on her handicap debut, and she looks capable of winning off her current mark on that evidence. Daidalos finished behind the selection that day but has scope for further progress, while Fen Tiger may prove best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Innisfree Pearl 2nd Fighting Poet 3rd Daidalos

Myna arrives on the back of a solid second at Newbury and he must enter calculations in his current heart. However, the three-year-old isn't certain to appreciate underfoot conditions, so PLATINUM PRINCE may have his measure. The Harbour Watch gelding has plenty of soft ground form to his name and his latest second behind a subsequent winner at Goodwood cannot be faulted. Dr Foster makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Platinum Prince 2nd Myna 3rd Dr Foster

Triple C&D winner OTAGO is likely to prove popular having finished a close-up second over track and trip at the start of this month. Jim Boyle's inmate makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged mark and compensation could be on the cards. Big Bard must be noted in his current mood but the 7f trip on more testing conditions may stretch his stamina. A bigger threat may emerge from On Song, who should enjoy a return to his last winning distance.
Prediction : 1st Otago 2nd On Song 3rd Big Bard
