UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

FAIRFIELD FERRATA showed a good attitude when scoring at Fakenham last month and with Emma Smith-Chaston's claim negating a 5lb rise in the weights, Jedd O'Keefe's mare could notch up another success. Trapista drops in class having contested a 0-135 at Chepstow on her latest outing and she's expected to mount a serious challenge this afternoon. Ile De Jersey was clear when falling at Taunton on her fencing debut and will be a threat to all if she can put that behind her.
Prediction : 1st Fairfield Ferrata 2nd Trapista 3rd Ile De Jersey

GEMIRANDE bumped into a progressive rival when finishing second at Hereford earlier this month and a 2lb ease in the weights could see Venetia Williams' six-year-old go one better today. Coupdebol followed the selection home that day and he's likely to be in the thick of things once more, while Our Jet is of significant appeal ahead of his chasing debut, though it'll be no easy task conceding weight all round.
Prediction : 1st Gemirande 2nd Coupdebol 3rd Our Jet

Zuckerberg bolted up at Sedgefield on his latest outing and he demands the utmost respect under a 7lb penalty, but preference is for MEXICAN BOY. Olly Murphy's charge should be cherry-ripe ahead of his chase debut following a pipe-opener at Huntingdon and he's fancied to confirm the promise shown over hurdles. Captain Ivan has been running well in defeat and he's more than capable of mounting a serious challenge.
Prediction : 1st Mexican Boy 2nd Zuckerberg 3rd Captain Ivan

Genovese may prove vulnerable conceding weight to his rivals once more, with some interesting newcomers on show. POUGNE AMINTA makes her Rules debut after winning a point-to-point in May and could have more to offer in this sphere as a full-brother to the decent Pougne Bobbi. Alright Dai, Pyffo and Guard Duty warrant closer inspection in the betting for leading connections, with Proper Twelve setting the standard of those with bumper form.
Prediction : 1st Pougne Aminta 2nd Proper Twelve 3rd Alright Dai

Red Dirt Road is interesting after winning on his sole point-to-point start in January. The Jonjo O'Neill charge is a half-brother to some useful types in Marquis Of Carabas and Face The Odds, but may come into his own when up in trip. MRS GRIMLEY made an encouraging debut over hurdles when finishing third at Newbury and looks the one to beat at this lower level. Daniel Deronda, Doyouknowwhatimean and Charging Point may chase them home.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Grimley 2nd Red Dirt Road 3rd Daniel Deronda

BIOWAVEGO was an impressive winner over 2m7f at Worcester a month ago and a 4lb rise in the ratings for that success may underestimate this unexposed son of Presenting. That said, Jen's Boy is an obvious threat following his narrow defeat at Hereford last time, while Snipe has to be of some interest on his handicap bow for the Dan Skelton yard.
Prediction : 1st Biowavego 2nd Jens Boy 3rd Snipe

SAMATIAN has made the frame on both starts since winning at Stratford last month and it would be no surprise to see the five-year-old return to winning ways in this moderate event. Bertie's Bandana should not be underestimated on his handicap debut, especially as he may improve for a step up in trip. Others to note are Holerday Ridge and My Girl Lollipop.
Prediction : 1st Samatian 2nd Berties Bandana 3rd Holerday Ridge
