UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

First-time blinkers seemed to provide the missing ingredient for MY GENGHIS when he kept on well to score over 6f at Wolverhampton and, with excellent apprentice Jack Doughty retaining the ride, a 2lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from following up. Tommytwohoots, who is 6lb well-in after his surprise heavy-ground success at Nottingham, is feared most, with the well-handicapped Lady Nagin also a key player.
Prediction : 1st My Genghis 2nd Tommytwohoots 3rd Lady Nagin

RORY ROCKET showed promise to finish second on both of his previous starts and having already proven himself capable of handling cut in the ground, the son of Aclaim is presented with a decent chance of coming out on top. Mini Mac was a length and a half behind the selection in third at Bath last week and, entitled to be wiser, can make his presence felt. Pickering Castle is another going the right way and also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Rory Rocket 2nd Mini Mac 3rd Pickering Castle

SUPER MIRAGE impressed, despite running green, when he made a winning debut at Bath and a penalty is unlikely to cause too many issues as this potentially useful son of Arizona bids to follow up. Something of a surprise winner at Yarmouth, Far From Dandy was still eyecatching enough to suggest he can also be a player here. Great David and Bear Island appeal most of the rest with experience, while Pure Tenacity is an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Super Mirage 2nd Far From Dandy 3rd Great David

ESCAPE ACT has been competing in higher-grade handicaps than this since scoring on soft going at Doncaster in July. He remains relatively unexposed and a bold bid is anticipated from the son of Mehmas back at this level. Ardbraccan has more to find off his current mark, but could still have a say in the outcome returning to this lower grade. On Song tends to save his best for this track, although his success here in August came over a shorter trip.
Prediction : 1st Escape Act 2nd Ardbraccan 3rd On Song

A winner at Leicester in July, LITTLE TIGER followed that success with a decisive victory over C&D on last week's return to action. He is penalised for that, but is due to be raised a further 6lb in the future and the hat-trick beckons for William Stone's inmate. Fighting Poet usually goes well here, although he was no match for the selection last time and Fullforward may pose a bigger threat, despite a 5lb penalty for his recent triumph over 1m4f here.
Prediction : 1st Little Tiger 2nd Fullforward 3rd Fighting Poet

OTAGO wasn't at his best last time but the son of Cable Bay, a multiple C&D winner, is expected to bounce back. Jim Boyle's gelding landed the corresponding event off 1lb higher 12 months ago and, with conditions to suit, this looks a winnable opportunity. Romanovich remains in good form but does have a bit to prove on ground as testing as this is likely to be, so Voodoo Ray could be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Otago 2nd Voodoo Ray 3rd Romanovich

A chance can be taken on PORFIN, who finds himself on a workable mark following a handful of below-par efforts on the all-weather. Softening ground conditions should be no barrier to success and, in a race lacking much depth, he could represent some value. World Of Darcy seems to have turned a corner and merits the utmost respect having recorded a comfortable success at Windsor on Monday. That said, a 12lb penalty will undoubtedly make things tougher. Newcastle scorer Tomorrow Day heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Porfin 2nd World Of Darcy 3rd Tomorrow Day
