Horse racing tips today: Horses to back at Brighton, Hamilton, Chepstow and Stratford | Racing | Sport

King, whose initial success arrived over jumps and is now equally proficient on the Flat, has found an ideal opportunity for Fidux to add last month’s success at Hexham

That was the gelding’s first outing over fences and the form was enhanced as the second home, Notwhatiam, finished a respectable sixth in last Sunday’s competitive Uttoxeter Plate behind Brave Eagle.

The capable No Hassle Hoff will have his supporters, but it was nearly two years ago when he last put his head in front.

French recruit PURPLE KING (nb) may have won had Sam Twiston-Davies not kicked for home after jumping the third-last hurdle when failing to hold off Pacify by a head at Southwell last month.

Hopefully, connections will adopt more restrained tactics and it will have the desired effect.

Newmarket trainer William Haggas, currently operating at a 30% strike rate with his runners, can continue his excellent run of good fortune with CRYSTAL TRIBE (4.00) at Brighton.

The three-year-old left behind his moderate form when successful on his handicap debut at Lingfield last month. He was an impressive winner on that occasion and does not look harshly treated with just 4lb more on his back today.

The talented Tom Marquand, successful on that occasions, retains the ride which can only add to his chances. Osho, respectable second behind Potenza, is the one for the forecast.
