UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Six Til Twelve has run a couple of decent races in defeat here recently and a mark of 60 for his handicap bow appears fair, but this looks a good opportunity for LE MANEGE ENCHANTEE. Derk Shaw's gelding missed out by a neck over C&D last week and is brought back out quickly off the same mark. Bernie's Boy was a fair third at Wolverhampton last time and has claims if as effective on this surface.
Prediction : 1st Le Manege Enchante 2nd Six Til Twelve 3rd Bernies Boy

A wind operation worked wonders for NATIONAL ANTHEM as he dotted up over a furlong further here and it could be that he follows up on his handicap debut. Scale Force was a close-up second at Wolverhampton and has claims, while Mulzim was far from disgraced off this mark when second here last time. Recent C&D winner My Excelsa and Tom Tate's consistent Young Tiger also have claims.
Prediction : 1st National Anthem 2nd Scale Force 3rd Mulzim

Navajo Dawn struck here earlier this year but may have simply been taking advantage of a falling mark and is 4lb higher in this. Castashadow put in arguably the best effort of his career here but that's not exactly saying much, so COMEATCHOO is preferred. Phil McEntee's gelding was completely unfancied for a handicap at Chelmsford last week but he acquitted himself well to finish fourth and could be the one to side with in a weak event.
Prediction : 1st Comeatchoo 2nd Navajo Dawn 3rd Castashadow

LUCK OF CLOVER may not have been seen since October, but she showed up well at Bath on her latest outing and looks to have been found a decent opening by Andrew Balding. Ska Ridge and Sometimes A Fox have been struggling over obstacles of late but have claims back on the Flat, particularly the latter, while Straitouttacompton could go well if building on his recent efforts at Newcastle and Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Luck Of Clover 2nd Sometimes A Fox 3rd Straitouttacompton

SUITCASE 'N' TAXI has made this track and trip his own in recent months, reeling off four wins on the spin. Tim Easterby's gelding is now 20lb higher than when the winning spree started, but could still prove too hot to handle. Private Matter struck over C&D last month and has claims off a 5lb higher perch, while Custard The Dragon shaped as though the drop to this distance would suit when a creditable fourth here latest.
Prediction : 1st Suitcase n Taxi 2nd Private Matter 3rd Custard The Dragon

BREAK THE SILENCE certainly wasn't winning out of turn here recently, having hit the crossbar on his previous three outings. Scott Dixon's charge had Sylviacliffs over a length in arrears in third when victorious and though he meets that rival on 4lb worse terms in this, he could still prove his superiority. Forseti was only a couple of lengths away from the winner when fifth here last time and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Break The Silence 2nd Sylviacliffs 3rd Forseti

LE MUSEE went close at Ffos Las on his last Flat start and has since gone from strength to strength over fences, earning a mark of 147 and running in the Ladbrokes Trophy last time. A mark of 62 back on the level should be far from insurmountable and he is taken to get the better of Never A Word, who won on his last visit to this track but struggled at Wolverhampton latest. Final Choice is another from the jumping ranks to be worthy of some thought.
Prediction : 1st Le Musee 2nd Never A Word 3rd Final Choice
