Horse Racing Tips: Katie Midwinter's best bets on Tuesday including 14/1 Brighton fancy

Bet of the Day: Musselburgh, 14:00 - Back Perfidia @ 9/52.80

5 (1)

Perfidia (Ire)

• J: Jake Dickson
• T: Tim Easterby
• F: 7-3213591

• SBK 13/8
• EXC 2.4

A recent winner of a hands and heels apprentice race at Nottingham, Perfidia could double up from an unchanged mark of 57 with Jake Dickson claiming 7lb in the saddle once again. The young rider gave the four-year-old a good winning ride from the front that day, and the pair could produce a similar effort here.

Trained by Tim Easterby, Perfidia had previously won at Hamilton in May from only a 1lb lower mark, and had run well twice subsequently before a disappointing effort in his penultimate start. He has been in good form for most of the year so far, recording form figures of 3213591 following a 177-day winter break, and is on a mark from which he could strike on the back of a positive result.

Musselburgh, 15:00 - Back Haayimm @ 3/14.00

4 (5)

Haayimm (Ire)

• J: Daniel Tudhope
• T: Edward Bethell
• F: 3-12

• SBK 5/2
• EXC 3.2

Three-year-old gelding Haayimm makes his handicap debut from a rating of 95 in this 1m1f contest. The Ed Bethell-trained runner has recorded form figures of 312 in three starts in maiden and novice company to date, and has the scope for plenty of further improvement.

On seasonal reappearance, the son of Gleneagles beat Group-placed Arabian Desert, the 1/81.12 favourite, in a surprise result at Pontefract, before being narrowly denied by Conclave in a three-runner Hamilton contest.

Conclave had previously been beaten only a length by King's Trail at Kempton and recently finished a creditable sixth at odds of 28/129.00 in the hugely competitive 30-runner Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot, achieving a mark of 99.

A 230,000gns yearling purchase, Haayimm could have plenty of further improvement to come and makes appeal in only his fourth start. The unexposed runner is lightly raced and there's already substance to his form, therefore he could be worth keeping onside now in handicap company.

Musselburgh, 15:00 - Back Rochfortbridge E/W @ 12/113.00

5 (1)

Rochfortbridge (Ire)

• J: M. P. Sheehy
• T: Adrian Keatley
• F: 14524-9

• SBK 10/1
• EXC 13.5

Making his handicap debut following a gelding operation, Rochfortbridge could improve plenty of his reappearance effort at Kempton when down the field in a race won by King's Trail.

The three-year-old son of Mehmas did shape with promise as a juvenile last term when competing in deep waters following on from a debut success at Ayr over recent Royal Ascot winner Thesecretadversary. He featured in races won by the likes of Gewan, Hawk Mountain and Shayem, including at Group One level, putting in a few decent efforts in Stakes company despite being unable to truly threaten.

The Listed-placed contender could have more to give and is unexposed in this sphere, making only his seventh career start. He has shown potential and could be capable of a big effort from a mark of 95 under Mikey Sheehy.

Brighton, 16:13 - Back Twilight Guest E/W @ 14/115.00

8 (1)

Twilight Guest

• J: Sean Dylan Bowen
• T: George Margarson
• F: 773-55076

• SBK 14/1
• EXC 10

Course-and-distance winner Twilight Guest is currently 12lb lower than his last winning mark and could be capable of an improved performance following a sixth-placed effort here recently. He's on a lenient rating if returning to the best of his form, and did show more promise than in his previous runs this year when last seen.

Prior to this season, the George Margarson-trained runner had achieved form figures of 26114 at the track, including successive wins at the beginning of last summer. He was successful from his current rating here before defying a 5lb rise to double up, and shouldn't be discounted with valuable course form in his favour from a workable weight.

Musselburgh, 17:05 - Back Invincible Crown @ 3/14.00

1 (5)

Invincible Crown (Ire)

• J: James Sullivan
• T: Ruth Carr
• F: 049-64742

• SBK 16/5
• EXC 3.35

Top weight Invincible Crown can be difficult to catch on a going day but is on a mark from which he can strike, 7lb lower than his last success when a promoted winner at Wolverhampton in the autumn.

When last seen, the Ruth Carr-trained gelding was denied late on by Beerwah when travelling into the race well as the 5/23.50 joint-favourite. He looked a likely winner in the closing stages before being overtaken towards the line, but may find more luck in this contest.

Seeking a fourth win in his 30th start, the son of Inns Of Court should be capable of posing a threat under James Sullivan following a couple of noteworthy recent outings, and holds solid claims.

Roscommon, 19:30 - Back Thatwilldoso E/W @ 10/111.00

10 (5)

Thatwilldoso (Ire)

• J: R. P. Cleary
• T: Kevin Thomas Coleman, Ireland
• F: 11262-905

• SBK 7/1
• EXC 4.2

Thatwilldoso won this race 12 months ago from a 7lb lower mark before doubling up at Galway from his current rating of 72. She's a course-and-distance winner on a workable rating, and should hold leading claims having had the benefit of a recent run.

The five-year-old mare isn't coming into the race in fine form, but she has dropped in the weights as a result and is now 6lb lower than when chasing home Speckled Meadow at Naas in her final start of 2025.

The three-time winner should be capable of an improved effort as she drops back in trip in familiar surroundings, and is one to note in the hands of Rory Cleary for Kevin Thomas Coleman.
