UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

It is hard to oppose PASEO, who bolted up on his return from a short break at Ludlow last month. He has gone up 8lb for that win which may not be enough to stop him from backing that performance up. Catlin steps up in trip following a comfortable win at Newcastle most recently and is feared ahead of Jessie Lightfoot, who makes her debut for Henry Oliver.
Prediction : 1st Paseo 2nd Catlin 3rd Jessie Lightfoot

TRESHNISH has been steadily progressive this season and the nature of his most recent success at Hexham left the impression there would be more to come, despite stepping up in class. Here We Have It should be sharper for his seasonal debut at Kelso last month and he shades the danger vote from Atlantic Storm, who secured a pleasing second at Hereford in October.
Prediction : 1st Treshnish 2nd Here We Have It 3rd Atlantic Storm

Champetre is fairly well-related and, although he showed little on his racecourse bow at Worcester in October, looks bred to be better than that and can improve today. However, AMIDNIGHTSTAR showed enough on her Rules bow at Stratford in August to suggest she can have a say in proceedings today. Borderline has not been disgraced on either of his career starts and is another worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Amidnightstar 2nd Borderline 3rd Champetre

Liverpool Knight is having his first start over hurdles after being a steady Flat performer and it wouldn't be a surprise were he to feature on his hurdles bow, but the nod goes to IDEALDES VILLERETS. Mel Rowley's four-year-old was just touched off in his first attempt over hurdles, beaten just three quarters of a length over 2m at Uttoxeter. A repeat of that effort would see him take the beating in this contest, while Hidden Beauty should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Idealdes Villerets 2nd Liverpool Knight 3rd Hidden Beauty

DOLLAR BAE scored in ready fashion on her latest outing at Leicester when scoring by four and a half lengths on her handicap debut. Jonjo O'Neill's charge will have to negotiate an 8lb increased mark, but that may prove lenient here. Ucanaver rates as the biggest danger and Anthony Honeyball's runner is capable of competing on this mark, despite not making it home on her two previous outings over fences. Progressive heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dollar Bae 2nd Ucanaver 3rd Progressive

SOLDIER OF DESTINY sets a good standard on official ratings and will be hard to beat at this level. Of the rest, Mexico has ability but progress has been slow to materialise, while Stans The Man is entitled to improve from his hurdles debut at Chepstow in October when shaping as though he needed the outing. Therefore, Val Dancer rates as the biggest threat, despite being set to carry a 6lb penalty for winning at Bangor last month.
Prediction : 1st Soldier Of Destiny 2nd Val Dancer 3rd Mexico

COULDBEAWEAPON wasn't fluent on a couple of occasions at Uttoxeter last month but still managed to finish a good third in a competitive handicap won by a progressive type. Nudged up 1lb for those exertions, the selection still has scope for improvement and he may gain compensation this time around. Midnight Callisto is respected after a solid effort on his reappearance at Taunton last month, but concedes 4lb to the selection. Norley completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Couldbeaweapon 2nd Midnight Callisto 3rd Norley
