UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

MOTOWN LAKE is very effective at this sort of level and, dropped in class after finishing third at Hexham last time, he rates the one to beat. Mackie Dee switches back to fences following solid win and placed efforts over timber at Uttoxeter and he must enter calculations, while first-time visored Miss Wachit also merits consideration on her chasing bow.
Prediction : 1st Motown Lake 2nd Mackie Dee 3rd Miss Wachit

PENS MAN lost little in defeat when a short-head second on his return to action at Market Rasen last month and, entitled to improve for that first outing since November, he gets the vote off a 2lb higher mark. Dindin moves up in trip following a silver-medal performance over an extended 2m at Stratford on Sunday and he warrants respect, while Mister Sweets also has a squeak equipped with a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Pens Man 2nd Dindin 3rd Mister Sweets

Everything points to a big run from THE VOLLAN, who struck twice over C&D last month and receives plenty of weight from all of these rivals. Red Happy has strung together a number of solid performances and he could be in the thick of the action once again, while Topofthecotswolds must also be considered following his gritty success at Worcester.
Prediction : 1st The Vollan 2nd Red Happy 3rd Topofthecotswolds

Charging Point had Thirsty Weather (fourth) and Rich Spirit (fifth) behind when second in a bumper at Market Rasen last time and could confirm that form, but this looks a good opportunity for VIENNA GIRL. Kevin Frost's filly was sent off a 125/1 chance for her debut over C&D but belied those odds to take second behind an odds-on favourite. If she comes on for that run, she could take some stopping. Gone In Sixty was a little disappointing at Hexham last time but returns to the same C&D that saw her take second on debut.
Prediction : 1st Vienna Girl 2nd Charging Point 3rd Gone In Sixty

BATHIVA has been running respectably off marks in the 130s over fences of late and could prove a class apart now switched to novice hurdles. Fergal O'Brien's gelding hasn't run over timber since January 2020, but these brush hurdles could suit. Lusaka ran a reasonable race on his debut for Olly Murphy at Perth and could be better for that experience, while Trolley Boy followed up a good second in a bumper on debut with a victory in that sphere at Newcastle last time.
Prediction : 1st Bathiva 2nd Lusaka 3rd Trolley Boy

A stiffer stamina test seemed to suit KENTFORD MALLARD last time and she kept on strongly to score on her most recent outing over this C&D. She is two from two at this track and, given she kept on to win by six-and-a-half lengths in the aforementioned contest, a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop her in this. Newtown Pery seeks to make an impression on her first run for Dan Skelton and is significantly up in trip, while Danzini drops slightly in distance for this and could go well.
Prediction : 1st Kentford Mallard 2nd Newtown Pery 3rd Danzini

PRESENTING PETE made a pleasing debut for John Mackie on his most recent outing and now races off a career-high mark following his latest win over this C&D last month. Peter Kavanagh's 5lb claim makes him seem feasibly treated, given the selection is only rated 4lb higher for the aforementioned win. Kalma was unlucky to be carried out at Uttoxeter earlier this month and looks the biggest danger ahead of Watashock, who has been in good form for a reputable stable.
Prediction : 1st Presenting Pete 2nd Kalma 3rd Watashock
