UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

TWENTYSVNTHLANCERS built on his second to Gorgeous General when scoring over course and distance earlier this month and he is backed to follow up off just a 3lb higher mark for a top handler of sprinters. Comfortable Newcastle winner Furni Factors boasts some smart form at this course and has to be respected, while Honey Gg has failed to finish outside of the top two in three past appearances here and is a must for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Twentysvnthlancers 2nd Honey Gg 3rd Furni Factors

HEART OF SOUL boasts some smart handicap form over this trip from last summer and, having made a decent reappearance at Lingfield two weeks ago, the pick of Ian Williams' duo looks the one to side with. Limited Reserve is rated 138 over hurdles and is interesting making his first outing since December 2017, while Escapability is making just his second start for Alan King and could have plenty more to come.
Prediction : 1st Heart Of Soul 2nd Limited Reserve 3rd Escapability

MARBLE BAR made all to register a seven-length victory over course and distance earlier this month and, despite a 12lb rise making this tougher, he looks unexposed as a sprinter and clearly enjoys the Fibresand. This is very much a home game for track regular Crosse Fire, who has been in rude health since the turn of the year, while Point Zero and Richard Fahey's pair of Gabrial The Tiger and Royal Connoisseur are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Marble Bar 2nd Crosse Fire 3rd Point Zero

A chance can be taken on JUANITO CHICO, who has never tried this surface before but would have a big chance if reproducing the form that saw him finish third at Wolverhampton last month. Hammer Gun has to be respected given his record on the Fibresand (7-15), while The Great Wall is another who could go well if seeing out the trip.
Prediction : 1st Juanito Chico 2nd Hammer Gun 3rd The Great Wall

GORGEOUS GENERAL was unable to make it a hat-trick under a penalty here last month but races off a 4lb lower mark on this occasion, which could see him return to winning ways. Liamba went down by a neck to the selection when they met over C&D 42 days ago but she warrants plenty of respect meeting him on better terms. Others to consider include Alligator and Alba Del Sole.
Prediction : 1st Gorgeous General 2nd Liamba 3rd Alligator

LAFILIA could find plenty of improvement on her stable/UK debut for Archie Watson, and is partnered by a top amateur in the shape of Brodie Hampson for this Fibresand test. The four-year-old might defy an opening handicap mark of 66, and looks open to greater improvement than Red Touch, who should go well for the dangerous Mick Appleby/Serena Brotherton combination. Baron Run likes it here, while Port Soif may launch a bold bid for some prize money.
Prediction : 1st Lafilia 2nd Red Touch 3rd Baron Run
