UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

POP DANCER arrives in fine form, having won at Goodwood last month before making all over course and distance. He forged clear in the closing stages and Tony Carroll's consistent sprinter is taken to confirm superiority with the runner-up Rebel Star. The latter could make more of a race of it given she reopposes on more favourable terms, while Merrimack could shape well in this lower grade.
Prediction : 1st Pop Dancer 2nd Rebel Star 3rd Merrimack

DAZZLING HAZE ran out of steam in the closing stages when third over the minimum trip at Thirsk on debut. The runner-up has subsequently boosted that form and the daughter of A'Ali looks capable of winning at this level on that evidence. Mission Classified found a couple too good attempting to make every yard over 6f at Goodwood, so this shorter distance will likely suit, while London Boy is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Dazzling Haze 2nd Mission Classified 3rd London Boy

IREZUMI is not the most straightforward, but wasn't beaten far when third in a handicap here last time, despite his usual tardy start. Jim Boyle's charge gets another chance at this lower level. Fullforward scored over course and distance last autumn and could feature if bouncing back, while Fascinating Lips will appreciate any more rain on his first start since March.
Prediction : 1st Irezumi 2nd Fullforward 3rd Fascinating Lips

DARYSINA GOLD was beaten a neck over C&D last Monday when benefiting from the drop back to a mile and the daughter of Golden Horn makes plenty of appeal in her bid to go one better. Buy The Dip improved from his return effort at Newbury when filling the runner-up spot here and a 2lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Others to consider are Blenheim Star and Cuban Girl.
Prediction : 1st Darysina Gold 2nd Buy The Dip 3rd Blenheim Star

TIME PATROL hasn't looked back since returning to turf in April with three victories here, including over C&D at the end of last month, and the five-year-old gets the vote to continue his good form. Zu Run justified favouritism over C&D last time but has to contend with a 6lb rise. With that in mind, Bint Havana Gold, who has been a model of consistency in recent months, may prove to be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Time Patrol 2nd Bint Havana Gold 3rd Zu Run

Bear To Dream gained a fourth success here in a classified event last week and escapes a penalty. River Wharfe got the better of stable companion Poetic Force (third) and Comedian Leader (fourth) when the trio met at this track over a mile last month. KRANJCAR gets the nod, though. George Boughey's gelding can be forgiven his latest effort at Chelmsford, having stumbled leaving the stalls, and is much better judged on his C&D success the time before.
Prediction : 1st Kranjcar 2nd Bear To Dream 3rd River Wharfe
