(2) Swift Asset 2.25/1, Built on Goodwood second when going one better at Bath (5.7f) last month. Had a bit in hand and a 4 lb rise looks fair. Likely to go well.

(7) Song Of Success 8.5/1, Best effort for new yard when length third of 6 at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Return to slightly further could suit. Looks to be building up to something.
Suited by drop back to 5f when close third at Yarmouth last month; same mark again here.

Pop Dancer

22
22/1(-57%)
(3) Pop Dancer 22/1, C&D winner. Some respectable efforts on AW earlier in the year but his peak fitness has to be on trust after 155 days off.
Won three in a row last autumn but has fitness to prove after five-month break.

Cinque Verde

(8) Cinque Verde 40/1, Successful in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton (5f) in June but the headgear didn't have the same effect when last of 6 at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Karl Burke.
AW winner in June; sold out of Karl Burke's for 5,000gns after lesser effort on turf.

Crow's Nest

2
2/1(+0%)
(1) Crow's Nest 2/1, Won 2 sprint novice events in June and unlucky not to finish closer when third on 6f Newmarket handicap debut 6 weeks ago, keeping on when hampered final 100 yds. Stands out taking on more exposed opposition.
Dual novice winner in June; drops back in trip after good third on handicap debut (6f).
LTO Selection:

15:00 Brighton Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CROW'S NEST seemed to find the sixth furlong a step too far when third at Newmarket at the end of June. As he races off the same mark here over this shorter trip, George Boughey's gelding has every chance of getting back to winnings ways. Swift Asset looked as if he had something in hand when winning at Bath and he could go well, despite an added 4lb from the handicapper, leaving Song Of Success as best of the rest.

The two 3-y-os at the top of the weights may dominate this, with the lightly raced CROW'S NEST, who was unlucky not to finish closer on his Newmarket handicap debut, narrowly preferred to last month's Bath scorer Swift Asset. Song of Success has got a bit better with each start for new trainer James Fanshawe and may prove best of the remainder.

Dual novice winner CROW'S NEST ran well over 6f on his handicap debut in June and might be seen to even better effect over this trip.

11
11/1(+8%)
(4) Phoenix Glow 11/1, Winner at Chelmsford (6f) in February and matched that form when runner-up at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April. Exploits on turf subsequently have been disappointing however, well held last of 5 at Chepstow (7f) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Well handicapped on AW form from early part of the year but yet to be placed on turf.

King Elvis

12/1(+57%)
(6) King Elvis 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 15 in minor event at Leicester (6f, good) 20 days ago, beaten final 1f. More needed if he's to threaten on handicap debut.
Safely held in basement-grade classified last month; needs to find extra on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

15:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Annie Law could prove popular after her Doncaster win was followed by a second at Leicester and she could go well on her return to this grade. However, IMPERIOUSITY was only beaten just over a length at Salisbury last time and that form gives him a big chance. Phoenix Glow is intriguing dropping back in trip and with Rose Dawes claiming 5lb she might also get involved.

MOULIN BOOJ confirmed the promise of his previous run and ultimately won with a good deal to spare at Wolverhampton 5 days ago. He's selected under a penalty if taking up this engagement (due to run at Ffos Las Tuesday). Annie Law and Imperiousity can give the selection most to think about.

There may still be more to come from ANNIE LAW, who pipped a next-time-out winner two starts ago and bumped into an improver last time.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Junoesque has won here eight times and, although yet to peak this season, she could go well at a track that she clearly loves. Naadyaa is another with place possibilities and she is more consistent than most of these, but a chance is taken on MAGICAL DRAGON. The return to this trip is interesting, as is the booking of Kevin Stott, and the six-year-old could make his mark at this level.

NO SUCH LUCK didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time out and is the pick at these weights so edges the vote in a trappy classified event. Course winner Temur Khan could emerge as the main danger, although both Magical Dragon and Daisy Roots command plenty of respect too.

Patrick Chamings' MAGICAL DRAGON was placed in a recent 1m handicap and today's longer trip may enable him to end a losing streak.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

YOUARENOTFORGIVEN has taken a big step forward on his last couple of starts and arrives here in search of a hat-trick following victories at Leicester and Newbury. The five-year-old doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling yet and gets the vote at the main expense of stable companion Revision, who bounced back to form after wind surgery when runner-up at Leicester. Outrace and Harb are others likely to enter calculations.

YOUARENOTFORGIVEN had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when beating a subsequent winner at Newbury so is taken to complete the hat-trick. Intercessor is on a workable mark and has a good record on downhill tracks, so is next best ahead of 3-y-o Cobalt Blue, who took a step forward when third at Epsom.

The feature race might go to COBALT BLUE, who put in very good late work when third over 7f three weeks ago and is unexposed over 1m.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

VOODOO RAY's sole career victory came here on his penultimate outing in June before finishing third in handicap company. The slight doubt is whether the mile will stretch his stamina, based on his last attempt over this distance, but he brings the most consistent form to the table and may take advantage of running in a classified event. Endless Season's best efforts have come in similar contests at Lingfield and she commands respect, while Arlo's Sunshine appears best of the remainder.

VOODOO RAY scored at this track on his penultimate outing and shaped as if still in top form (went off hard) when third here since, so he's fancied to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Arlo's Sunshine, the only one of the others to arrive in form. Vitesse du Son is likely to benefit from the return to this trip, so he's also considered.

The most obvious answer is VOODOO RAY, who moves back up in trip after running well in two 7f handicaps here this summer.

(2) Brilliant Blue 3.33/1, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 16 days ago given he was slowly away and rider dropped his whip close home. Can give a good account from the same mark.
0-16, but gave good account when third at Windsor last month; each-way claims at least.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Heer's Sadie bids for a C&D hat-trick having returned from a small break in fine fettle and Julia Feilden's mare warrants the utmost respect. However, a chance is taken with OPTIVA STAR, who has improved since being stepped up to 7f and went very close to shedding the maiden tag when beaten a head at Epsom on Thursday. Local Bay and Brilliant Blue can fight it out for the minor honours.

LOCAL BAY produced his best effort on grass for a while when third at Chepstow last month, finishing with running left, and looks capable of cashing in on his much-reduced turf mark. Optiva Star was runner-up in a slightly deeper 3-y-o handicap than this at Epsom last week so rates the main threat ahead of Heer's Sadie.

Richard Hannon's 3yo OPTIVA STAR (nap) has been shaping very much as though his turn is near and gets the nod.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
