UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

SILENT STEPS won easily by some nine lengths here recently and connections appear to have found their mare another winnable opening. That success came over the extended 2m4f and she won over C&D in December 2018 by 23 lengths, so there is clearly something about this track which really brings out the best in her. The Ogle Gogle Man would be no surprise winner but might need a bit further on a stiffer track, so Dee Star looks the main danger.
Prediction : 1st Silent Steps 2nd Dee Star 3rd The Ogle Gogle Man

LITTLE LIGHT has improved since undergoing wind surgery, winning over this trip at Leicester before producing back-to-back third-placed efforts at Fakenham and Huntingdon. First-time blinkers may eke out a bit more improvement from the daughter of Walk In The Park and she looks the most solid option. Twotwothree has had a short break and is taken to go well, while Railroad Junkie is back on a winnable mark and the drop to this distance will suit.
Prediction : 1st Little Light 2nd Twotwothree 3rd Railroad Junkie

HAASAB remains well handicapped off 106 and the booking of Jonjo O'Neill Jr. for this assignment suggests connections are confident he'll exploit that mark. He bumped into one getting plenty of weight at Sedgefield last time and pulled 12 lengths clear of the third. Manor Park is lightly raced in handicap hurdles and demands respect in a race of this nature, likewise Ubaltique in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Haasab 2nd Manor Park 3rd Ubaltique

SHESHOON SONNY dropped in class to claim second at Market Rasen earlier in the year and appears to have been located an ideal opening to get off the mark over hurdles. The five-year-old has bumped into a few smart types such as Chantry House, Igor and Fix Sun in recent times, and with nothing of that calibre in opposition here, can take the beating now upped in trip. Exelerator Express and Shantou Vow carry penalties for their successes earlier in the season and appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sheshoon Sonny 2nd Exelerator Express 3rd Shantou Vow

FIRST ASSEMBLY has found just one too good the last twice and deserves a change of luck now under Harry Bannister. Unexposed in handicaps, the six-year-old is well suited by this distance and is tentatively preferred to Destinys Choice, who was fourth in a competitive Catterick heat earlier in the year and steps up in trip now. City Never Sleeps was best of the remainder behind a runaway winner last month and should be finishing well once more.
Prediction : 1st First Assembly 2nd Destinys Choice 3rd City Never Sleeps

HANG TOUGH struck in the manner of a well-handicapped animal at Warwick on his most recent outing and Jonjo O'Neill's charge could go on a winning run now. A mark of 86 still seems extremely fair for this six-year-old and staying trips have clearly brought out the best of him lately. Jour A La Plage remains capable of better and wears cheekpieces for the first time, while Fizzlestix, a recent six-length scorer at Plumpton, adds further spice to a competitive race.
Prediction : 1st Hang Tough 2nd Jour A La Plage 3rd Fizzlestix
