UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

CLIPSHAM TIGER got off the mark with an impressive victory at Chelmsford nine days ago and he is unlikely to be beaten if reproducing that performance. Henrietta's Dream displayed some promise over 6f here last time and she could make the frame, while Limerick Lord and Molten Lava are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Clipsham Tiger 2nd Henriettas Dream 3rd Limerick Lord

ROYAL SANDS won a maiden over 6f at this track 19 days ago and that performance suggests that he can win a race of this nature off a mark of 72. Two of Requited's previous three victories came at this venue and he should not be underestimated, while Zapper Cass looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Royal Sands 2nd Requited 3rd Zapper Cass

A chance is taken on LEXINGTON FLAIR, who makes his belated racecourse debut. It is interesting that connections have persevered with him and this is far from a strong race. Ormesher is the clear pick of those with previous form and he is fit from a spin over hurdles last month, while Dolly McQueen completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lexington Flair 2nd Ormesher 3rd Dolly McQueen

WADACRE GALOUBET won on his course debut when improving for the step up to 1m6f and the manner in which he stayed on that day suggests the extra yardage on this occasion will suit. Shine Baby Shine returned to form when runner-up over C&D 11 days ago and is respected, along with Tigray, who can bounce back from a tame Wolverhampton performance.
Prediction : 1st Wadacre Galoubet 2nd Shine Baby Shine 3rd Tigray

POETA BRASILEIRO won over C&D two starts ago before a slightly disappointing effort when a beaten favourite at Chelmsford last Saturday. The return to the fibresand could see the four-year-old back to winning ways with Thore Hammer Hansen's 5lb claim to aid his cause. Liamba has a decent course record and is likely to be in the mix along with Esprit De Corps, who placed here over 7f in October.
Prediction : 1st Poeta Brasileiro 2nd Liamba 3rd Esprit De Corps

SOMMER KATZE shaped with promise when second over 7f on debut at Leicester as he showed some speed before fading inside the final furlong. The drop back to 5f may suit Declan Carroll's charge and he is taken to go one better this evening. Arthur Shelby, Henry The Sixth and Jeans Maite all drop back in trip but a big leap of faith would be needed to contemplate backing any of them.
Prediction : 1st Sommer Katze 2nd Jeans Maite 3rd Henry The Sixth

Grazeon Roy (first) accounted for Cold Harbour (third) over C&D 11 days ago and it is difficult to envisage that form being overturned, while Lopes Dancer was progressing nicely at Newcastle before a poor effort on turf three weeks ago and needs a market check on his Fibresand debut. A more solid option might be to side with the hat-trick seeking BO SAMRAAN, who represents last year's winning yard. The three-year-old has enjoyed deep ground the last twice on turf and is taken to thrive on this surface.
Prediction : 1st Bo Samraan 2nd Grazeon Roy 3rd Lopes Dancer

Three-time C&D winner BREAK THE SILENCE has form figures of 2323 at this venue since early October and deserves to add another success to his CV for Scott Dixon. The selection finished narrowly ahead of Fly True (fourth) just over two weeks ago and is expected to confirm those placings here. Tease Maid has been showing up well here recently over 6f but might not necessarily stay this extra furlong.
Prediction : 1st Break The Silence 2nd Fly True 3rd Tease Maid
