Friday's Horse Racing Tips: Brighton, August 9th
Friday’s Horse Racing Tips – August 9th
There are seven scheduled meetings in Britain and Ireland on a busy Friday, with flat fans having cards from Brighton, Haydock, Musselburgh, Newmarket, Tipperary and Thirsk to get stuck into. Fast summer ground remains the order of the day on the turf, and big summer holiday crowds are assured at HQ. Jumps fans have a competitive card with big fields to study at Wexford.

Today’s Daily Nap
Nordic Glory
Brighton 2.30 (UK time)
Tony Carroll’s handicapper has been inching down the weights for making little impact in warm contests at the top tracks, and a drop in class and return to Brighton can spark him back into winning form. He ran a blinder here over six furlongs in June, looking a very unlucky loser in the run, and these fast conditions clearly suit him ideally.
Odds: 6.00
Today’s Value Angle
Alcazan
Brighton 4.00 (UK time)
Roger Teal’s handicapper went into the notebook last time at Ascot in a stronger contest, travelling strongly and showing a terrific attitude under pressure in a tight finish. She has plenty of early pace at her disposal, and can make all the running here under the promising claimer Joe Leavy (with the prevailing fast summer ground suiting ideally).
Odds: 7.00
