UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

THREE C'S had over three lengths in hand at the line when scoring over 7f here last week and, also proven over a mile, George Boughey's six-year-old is taken to follow up under a 5lb penalty. Double Reflection performed with credit when runner-up over this trip at Chelmsford last time and is respected now switching surface, while it is possible first-time cheekpieces could unlock improvement from Chiavari.
Prediction : 1st Three Cs 2nd Chiavari 3rd Double Reflection

Atalanta Queen and Palazzo have demonstrated their effectiveness on Fibresand in the past, though both need to prove they have the stamina for this assignment now stepping up from 1m. With that in mind, OPTIMA PETAMUS, who won over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle in December, gets the verdict. He wasn't beaten far off 2lb higher at Newcastle two starts ago and can be forgiven his latest effort at Wolverhampton over shorter.
Prediction : 1st Optima Petamus 2nd Atalanta Queen 3rd Palazzo

RODIN has steadily improved with each outing to date and sets the standard on his two recent efforts over this trip at Chelmsford, when beaten by less than a length on each occasion. Sur Mer likely has better to offer for Robert Cowell, for all she needs to step up on her C&D effort last time in order to figure. The pick of the remainder may be Simon Crisford's newcomer, Passional, any money for whom would be worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Rodin 2nd Sur Mer 3rd Passional

SANDRIDGE LAD completed the second leg of a C&D double in impressive fashion last week and a 5lb penalty probably won't be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Robero has won twice here in recent weeks and narrowly missed out at Wolverhampton on Monday. He rates the biggest threat, with Zapper Cass fancied to get the better of Samovar for third.
Prediction : 1st Sandridge Lad 2nd Robero 3rd Zapper Cass

ARABIAN KING arrives following two decisive 1m4f course victories and it is going to take a big performance to stop him completing the hat-trick. Cold Harbour has been a model of consistency of late and can run another big race, while Proxy ran better at Kempton than the bare result may suggest and first-time cheekpieces could see her improve enough to give James Ferguson's charge a scare.
Prediction : 1st Arabian King 2nd Cold Harbour 3rd Proxy

Bond Angel failed to fire at Wolverhampton last time but she had previously won twice at this venue and the five-year-old should not be underestimated. That said, preference is for LIGHTNING ATTACK, who made a winning debut on the Fibresand late last month and he still appears to be on a workable mark. Others to note are Custard The Dragon and Little India.
Prediction : 1st Lightning Attack 2nd Bond Angel 3rd Little India

MY LAW made a winning debut for this yard at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and 3lb rise in the ratings for that success may not be enough to stop her from taking this contest as well. The Retriever and Luscifer have both been knocking on the door in recent starts and they should be in the mix once again, while Caesonia is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st My Law 2nd The Retriever 3rd Luscifer
