With six meetings set to take place on Wednesday, including a race card on the south coast at Brighton, we have three tips for readers.

13:40 Brighton

Bright Saffron to Win and Each Way @ 4/1 – BET NOW

Brighton’s three-day festival kicks off today and the opening race of the meeting can go the way of the George Scott-trained Bright Saffron.

The selection registered a fair effort when finishing fourth in a classified stakes over 1m at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last time out, with that effort marking her first outing since having three quick runs in novice/maiden company on the all-weather in January and February.

The selection takes a marked drop in grade compared with the Yarmouth contest and given that she is bred to appreciate this sort of trip, she can record her first victory on her first start in handicap company.

Trainer George Scott is in good form at present and he comes into this event with a 33% strike-rate (3/9) in recent weeks which is a further pointer to the selection’s chances, while the application of cheek-pieces for the first time should see the daughter of Champs Elysees sharper than on her previous outings.

16:20 Pontefract

Classic Pursuit to Win and Each Way @ 5/2 – BET NOW

Classic Pursuit has been in great form in recent times and comes into this 5f sprint handicap chasing a hat-trick of victories.

The change in headgear appears to have suited in recent times with the switch back to blinkers for the first time since March last year bringing about a success when chasing the early pace prior to a good ground victory over this course and distance in a ten-runner field at the end of last month.

A further success over this distance, this time at Nottingham on good ground, followed with the son of Pastoral Pursuits making all and pulling clear of his five rivals for a relatively easy success under seven-pound claimer Theodore Ladd.

Ladd is again in the saddle here and the seven-year-old is effectively a pound well in under his ten-pound penalty, given that he is expected to race off a one-pound higher mark for all future engagements.

Michael Appleby’s yard is a stable going well at present with Classic Pursuit’s two victories among seven for the yard from 33 runners in the last two weeks and he will be looking to improve on his 21% strike-rate in that period.

18:30 Sligo

Mutaabeq to Win and Each Way @ 10/11 - BET NOW

Trainer Dermot Weld had a very quiet Galway by his standards, registering just three victories at the big meeting last week.

His representative in this competitive conditions race is the Teofilo colt Mutaabeq, a winner on debut when victorious in a 1m2f contest on yielding ground at Ballinrobe last month.

The selection overcame adversity having stumbled just over a furlong from home prior to leading and ultimately drawing clear for a comfortable success in a 12-runner field.

Related to a number of winners, including the stable’s dual winner Adool, he is out of the Group 3 winner Khulood and he looks capable of maintaining his unbeaten record in what looks a competitive small-field affair, with the extra half furlong he is set to encounter here likely to suit.
