UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Only a nose separated Red Stripes (first) and Moveonup (second) when they met last month and the C&D regulars look sure to figure at the business end once again. However, the nod goes to GLOBAL HUMOR, who was a comfortable winner over 6f here and could prove just as handy dropping back in trip off a 5lb higher mark. Track regular Six Strings and Augustus Caesar, in first-time cheekpieces, are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Global Humor 2nd Red Stripes 3rd Moveonup

TIGRAY was a respectable third here last week and the four-year-old, who is often at his best over this track and trip, is backed to play a leading part. First Flight wasn't disgraced at Wolverhampton and can't be ignored, while Pumblechook, who was sent off favourite for a handicap over 1m6f last time, is sure to have his supporters once again as he drops back in distance.
Prediction : 1st Tigray 2nd Pumblechook 3rd First Flight

GOING NATIVE returned to winning ways over 1m3f at this circuit last week and is expected to give another good account under a penalty. Olly Williams' mare has seemingly improved for the fitting of blinkers and they are retained here. Howardian Hills was narrowly beaten off 1lb lower at Kempton in January and can fight it out for the silver medal with Cape Hideaway.
Prediction : 1st Going Native 2nd Howardian Hills 3rd Cape Hideaway

PARALLEL WORLD was having his first start since April when landing a novice contest under a penalty here in December. An opening mark of 80 appears workable for Karl Burke's unexposed four-year-old, who is taken to complete a hat-trick. Motawaafeq returned to form when third over C&D on Saturday and could play a minor role, likewise Silverturnstogold, who will appreciate the return to Fibresand (he is 4-5 here) after running below his best on Polytrack at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Parallel World 2nd Silverturnstogold 3rd Motawaafeq

Glory of Paris is a consistent performer and he should be hard to keep out of the frame but marginal preference is for CAPE GRECO. The son of Cape Blanco bumped into an improving rival when finishing second over a mile here last week and he has to be given the utmost respect off the same mark. The shortlist is completed by Al Suil Eile and Redesdale Rebel.
Prediction : 1st Cape Greco 2nd Glory of Paris 3rd Al Suil Eile

PUCHITA made amends for a narrow defeat here two starts ago by winning over C&D last week and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her from taking this contest as well. Jem Scuttle could prove to be the main threat to the selection, having finished second here last month. Others to note are Karalini and Star Cracker.
Prediction : 1st Puchita 2nd Jem Scuttle 3rd Star Cracker
