UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

This is very much a home fixture for BEE MACHINE who has been thriving over the course and distance of late and now has a great chance of landing a hat-trick, despite having a career-high mark to overcome. A first-time visor worked for Gleeful, who was successful in a novice event over track and trip last month, and the Pivotal filly has to be respected, while Mick Appleby's Bedtime Bella was a winner here over 6f 23 days ago and is considered now tackling an extra furlong.
Prediction : 1st Bee Machine 2nd Gleeful 3rd Bedtime Bella

IRISH MINISTER is 1lb lower than when third over course and distance in October and having been kept busy over hurdles in the interim, should be primed for a big performance here. General Allenby has shaped nicely over two miles recently and has to be respected, while a step up in trip could suit Sea Of Mystery, who has dropped back to the same mark as his only win to date.
Prediction : 1st Irish Minister 2nd Sea Of Mystery 3rd General Allenby

Course-and-distance winner MAKAMBE wasn't far away from further glory here late last month and Chelsea Banham's track regular could be the answer off what remains a workable rating. Azzeccagarbugli has rattled the crossbar in claiming contests the last twice and could figure returning to the handicap ranks, while closely-matched pair Samphire Coast and Directory have both recorded track-and-trip victories in the past and make each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Makambe 2nd Azzeccagarbugli 3rd Samphire Coast

HAREEM QUEEN goes in search of a C&D hat-trick and could hardly have been more impressive when beating Free Love here last month. Still very much in the early stages of her career, it is probably wise that she has been given plenty of time between runs and she can continue her progress. Samovar beat a decent yardstick in Rock Sound over 6f here recently and heads the list of dangers from Tawny Port.
Prediction : 1st Hareem Queen 2nd Samovar 3rd Tawny Port

It is going to take a big performance to stop NOBLE BEHEST in his present mood. Making his Fibresand debut today, Ian Williams' charge has shown a real liking for a synthetic surface in winning at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton recently and, also a winner at Lingfield, he should take some stopping given he escapes a penalty for landing an apprentice riders' race last time. Fellow last-start scorer Bodacious Name and Colwood can also have their say.
Prediction : 1st Noble Behest 2nd Bodacious Name 3rd Colwood

ATWAAR followed up her 6f course victory when striking over this longer trip at Chelmsford last time and it would come as no surprise to see Charles Smith's thriving three-year-old defy a recent 3lb rise to complete a hat-trick. Waitaki was denied by a mere neck at Newcastle on Wednesday on her first run for James Given and is interesting if turned out quickly. Recent Wolverhampton third Disruptor could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Atwaar 2nd Disruptor 3rd Waitaki

JAZZ HANDS has won on his last two visits to this venue, either side of a defeat on Tapeta at Newcastle, and has every chance of overcoming a 5lb rise for the latest of them to complete a Fibresand treble. Crimson King was the subject of market support when runner-up over this trip at Kempton last time and is capable of finishing on the premises, likewise Break The Silence, who steps up in trip having landed the silver medal over 7f here the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Jazz Hands 2nd Crimson King 3rd Break The Silence
