UK Horse Racing Tips: Brighton

A taking winner on his first run for new connections over C&D recently, STATE OF MADNESS is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can follow up off 8lb higher. Over three lengths behind him on that occasion was Fai Fai (third), who is now 5lb better off and is likely to feature again, along with Grovely Belle, who may be suited by dropping back in trip.
Prediction : 1st State Of Madness 2nd Fai Fai 3rd Grovely Belle

This can go the way of PEROLA, who is open to any amount of improvement after a promising effort on debut at Kempton, where he was slightly unlucky not to score after being hampered at a crucial stage. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move for Boss Lady, having finished runner-up twice over 6f, while newcomer Havana Jag is one to monitor for market support with Sean Levey booked.
Prediction : 1st Perola 2nd Boss Lady 3rd Havana Jag

ONLY IN MANILA caught the eye on debut at Southwell when slowly away before running on well for second late in the day. With normal improvement expected, he can go one better for his in-form connections, with Quarter looking best placed to chase him home under a penalty following his course success over 7f on debut last month. Placed on his last two outings, Magical Merlot is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Only In Manila 2nd Quarter 3rd Magical Merlot

Gary & Josh Moore play a strong hand, with Oj Lifestyle and JOYCEAN WAY boasting strong claims. The former, a dual C&D winner, is back on a his last winning mark and is dangerous to overlook. However, Joycean Way is less exposed over a mile and shades preference bidding for a breakthrough success after a close-up second over track and trip last month. Tenbob Tommy has a similar profile and commands respect, likewise last year's winner Marsh Benham.
Prediction : 1st Joycean Way 2nd Oj Lifestyle 3rd Tenbob Tommy

BIRTHDAY ANGEL had something in hand when he won over this C&D last week and is a logical option turned out under a 5lb penalty. This is a slightly stiffer test but the son of Dark Angel is still unexposed on turf (on the Flat) and can be competitive again. Mc'ted is also penalised for a ready success at Wolverhampton and can play another prominent role back on the grass. Fighting Poet and Shabu Shabu also warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Birthday Angel 2nd Mcted 3rd Fighting Poet

The answer could be STARSONG, who placed over 6f here most recently and won under today's jockey over an extended 5f at this track the time before. She has run well over this longer trip in the past and another bold bid is forecast. A Pint Of Bear went down by the narrowest of margins over C&D last time and could be in the firing line again, while King Of War and Oh So Audacious are others to note in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Starsong 2nd A Pint Of Bear 3rd King Of War

A chance is taken on LIBRA TIGER, who overcame an awkward start and trouble in running to finish a respectable second over C&D last time. Off the same mark, he remains well handicapped on his old form and should go close if arriving in the same mood. Antiphon has been knocking on the door and warrants respect with first-time cheekpieces equipped, while Alshimali is much better than showing on his latest outing.
Prediction : 1st Libra Tiger 2nd Antiphon 3rd Alshimali
