UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

The hat-trick could be on for GAME LINE here. Christian Williams' gelding is only 7lb higher than when scoring at Stratford last month, having already followed up over timber at Perth. He is taken to get the better of fencing newcomer Stream Lady, who was far from disgraced at Uttoxeter last time. Quinto won at Newton Abbot on his penultimate start and it might be too soon to write him off following a heavy defeat at Stratford.
Prediction : 1st Game Line 2nd Stream Lady 3rd Quinto

Lovato won well at Worcester and then found only one too good at Cartmel. Richard Newland's fencing debutant will have every chance if the ground stays on the good side, a comment which also applies to Utility, who bolted up at Uttoxeter. He has run well in the wet in the past so shouldn't be discounted if any rain does fall but RIVER FROST looks a class apart on his best form, whatever the ground, and he can atone for falling on his only previous chase start.
Prediction : 1st River Frost 2nd Lovato 3rd Utility

Northern Beau bids to follow up a Market Rasen success and make it four wins from her last six starts, while Overtoujay notched his second success in three outings over the minimum trip here but is running from out of the handicap now. It might be worth taking them on with ROYAL VILLAGE, who was second in Listed company at Market Rasen and gets another chance off the same mark. Art Of Payroll won this two years ago and is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Royal Village 2nd Northern Beau 3rd Art Of Payroll

Mr Mafia is chasing a hat-trick after winning by 20 lengths and nine lengths over fences on his last two visits to this venue. The booking of Richard Johnson again only adds to his appeal, but it might be worth siding with YOUNG WOLF. Jonjo O'Neill's gelding was a gutsy winner at Stratford last time and this slightly shorter trip may suit him even more. Theatrebar has been in fantastic form this summer at the age of 11, but is creeping up the handicap as a result.
Prediction : 1st Young Wolf 2nd Mr Mafia 3rd Theatrebar

BRIDEY'S LETTUCE followed up a Uttoxeter win with a second over further at the same venue, and the return to the minimum trip could be enough to overcome a 5lb rise. Salto Chisco dead-heated for victory at Bangor and actually runs off 3lb lower now reverting to the smaller obstacles. Motcomb Street hasn't shown a great deal on his last couple of starts in Ireland but Shark Hanlon has snapped up the services of Richard Johnson for this.
Prediction : 1st Brideys Lettuce 2nd Salto Chisco 3rd Motcomb Street

Olly Murphy is earning a reputation for transforming new recruits and he proved that again with SMART GETAWAY at this venue 24 days ago. The seven-year-old is open to improvement on just her third start over hurdles, and shouldn't mind this drop to 2m. Malina Ocarina was travelling with intent before falling at Worcester and could bounce back, while Duck Egg Blue might pick up the pieces for third spot.
Prediction : 1st Smart Getaway 2nd Malina Ocarina 3rd Duck Egg Blue

COUNTRY DELIGHTS has shaped with greater promise in three starts following a two-month break, finishing fourth (twice) and third in double-figure fields after being pulled up three times in a row last season. A mark of 74 is there to be exploited, and this daughter of Mahler won't get too many better chances to open her account. Spiritual Man and Iusetaluvheronce could both be more competitive now returning to the smaller obstacles and represent the biggest threats.
Prediction : 1st Country Delights 2nd Spiritual Man 3rd Iusetaluvheronce
