UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

JABOTICABA lost all chance when making a bad mistake at the final fence on chasing debut at Warwick but Alan King's gelding is taken to go one better with that experience under his belt. Percy Street returned to winning ways over hurdles at Wincanton on his latest start and is of interest on his first outing over the larger obstacles, while Dandolo Du Gite can take a step forward on his second appearance after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Jaboticaba 2nd Percy Street 3rd Dandolo Du Gite

MAHLERMADE gained his first career success at Haydock after running consistently well for a number of months and, despite an 8lb rise, he appears capable of making it two on the bounce. Squouateur has the ability to win a contest of this nature but remains a maiden over fences, while the application of cheekpieces could see Sumkindofking get closer to the selection than at the Merseyside venue last month.
Prediction : 1st Mahlermade 2nd Squouateur 3rd Sumkindofking

APRES LE DELUGE's fourth behind Bright Forecast was boosted when the winner went on to finish third in a strong renewal of the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and this five-year-old can pay the form another compliment. Decent ground evidently suits Hughie Morrison's charge, and he could prove too strong for Twycross Warrior, who bids to follow up on his recent Uttoxeter success under a 7lb penalty. Cardigan Bay may prove good enough for third.
Prediction : 1st Apres Le Deluge 2nd Twycross Warrior 3rd Cardigan Bay

Henrietta Bell showed promise in bumpers before finishing a solid second on her debut over hurdles at Market Rasen 12 days ago. The six-year-old has a nice pedigree and should be winning sooner rather than later, while Miss Brooklyn can take a step forward now jumping for Mick Easterby. However, a more tempting proposition is Alan King's GIVING BACK. Deemed good enough to run in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree, she had her excuses when beaten on hurdles bow at Exeter recently and should be all the wiser for that experience.
Prediction : 1st Giving Back 2nd Henrietta Bell 3rd Miss Brooklyn

GLOBAL TOUR has thrived since joining Fergal O'Brien, winning two on the spin, and makes plenty of appeal under a 7lb penalty. Stepping back up in trip won't bother Monday's 2m Ludlow scorer, and Max Kendrick has steered the six-year-old in both his recent victories. Richard Johnson takes over aboard local handler Charles Pogson's West To Crossgales, last seen finishing second at Sedgefield last August, and is respected on his reappearance, while Hahadi has made the podium off his current rating the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Global Tour 2nd West To Crossgales 3rd Hahadi

TARAS DAY thrived over C&D when opening her account earlier this month and the way the six-year-old drew clear on that occasion suggests further success could be on the cards for Laura Morgan's mare under a 7lb penalty. It was a Fergal O'Brien-trained performer who chased home the selection last time and it could be his Next Lot that fills the same position tonight, having his first run for the handler following a long break. The Gloucestershire trainer has a good record with new recruits to his yard and this nine-year-old looks potentially well handicapped. Veterans Shaiyzar and Rightdownthemiddle also hold claims.
Prediction : 1st Taras Day 2nd Next Lot 3rd Rightdownthemiddle

Peter Fahey's Irish raider AMELIA'S DANCE could be the one to side with here and the Flemensfirth filly, whose dam is a half-sister to the popular Mister McGoldrick, is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting market. Similar applies to Karen McLintock's High Fort, who has Richard Johnson in the saddle on debut, while Alan King's Major Dundee cost 30,000 pounds and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Amelias Dance 2nd Major Dundee 3rd High Fort
