2:42 Brighton Tips

Effective over 6F-7F and proven on soft ground. Drop in class to suit with good performances at Newbury & Sandown. More to offer at this class.

Richard Hughes trains this grey colt and has him out for a debut run. He comes from a family who were useful in the United States, being by El Kabeir, who is by Scat Daddy. Joe Levey has the ride. He has stall one, but all season the field of runners have been making a beeline for the near side running rail and hardly touched the far side, where normally in past seasons races come to a climax there. White Deer may make a play there and see the trip out well on debut.

Attention Seeker is in stall 4, which could allow Kaiya Fraser to get him into a handy spot early and avoid the kickback that seemed to blunt him on debut at Kempton. By Cotai Glory out of a Hector Protector mare, he is bred to be sharp over sprint trips, and the hood first time suggests Harry Eustace is trying to help him relax. He is unexposed, and this second run could see a big step forward. With a better track position, he looks an each way and could even sneak a win if settling and finishing off strongly.

Race 2 at Brighton today is a Maiden (Class 5) for 2-year-olds over 1,399 m. The suggested wager is for the straight win on the 2-year-old filly Hala Samar from the Alice Haynes yard, and she will be ridden by Kieran O'Neill. This daughter of Cotai Glory had a fair debut over a similar distance and should improve on that. She has a definite chance in this field.
