UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Saorla makes her handicap debut off what looks a fair mark after winning a novice at Wolverhampton in November and a return to 1m shouldn't hamper her chances. Slight preference, however, is for the Alan King-trained MAYFAIR GOLD, who made an encouraging start in handicaps when runner-up at Lingfield 10 days ago. The daughter of Havana Gold should remain competitive off just 1lb higher and a first career win could be on the horizon. Queen Of Burgundy and Deep Sigh make most appeal of the remaining opposition.
Prediction : 1st Mayfair Gold 2nd Saorla 3rd Queen Of Burgundy

Chantreys should remain competitive on this return to racing, although she has been known to strip fitter for her reappearance run in the past. A chance is taken on WIN WIN POWER, who may prove rejuvenated by a change of scenery now under the tutelage of Mick Appleby. Written Broadcast and Elettaria should prove more competitive on this return to 1m and can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Win Win Power 2nd Written Broadcast 3rd Elettaria

MAC AILEY proved a different proposition when winning over today's C&D 10 days ago and, with the conditions of this race looking to suit, Tim Easterby's inmate looks capable of completing the double today. Methinks appreciated the return to 1m here last month, running a solid race to finish third. The son of Showcasing receives weight from the selection and looks the chief threat, while Vintage Fashion and Bawaader rate as best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Mac Ailey 2nd Methinks 3rd Vintage Fashion

MANAAFITH had Farhh To Shy back in third when scoring at Wolverhampton last month and as the winner meets that rival on 1lb better terms in this conditions race, the progressive son of Exceed and Excel is fancied to frank the form and follow up. Aramis Grey has been in fine fettle recently and she makes obvious appeal, though Rae Guest's mare, who would like a strong gallop to aim at, is unlikely to get that here. Fiduciary can follow them home ahead of River Pride.
Prediction : 1st Manaafith 2nd Farhh To Shy 3rd Aramis Grey

DEIRA STAR defied odds of 50/1 to finish a good second at Wolverhampton on just her second career start, and she's fancied to go one better with further improvement likely. Sugar Hill Babe sets the standard with an official rating of 68 and she's likely to be in the thick of things, along with the Michael Bell-trained No Saint, who returns to action having been on the sidelines for 189 days.
Prediction : 1st Deira Star 2nd Sugar Hill Babe 3rd No Saint

Course specialist Fine Wine had the reopposing Alligator Alley behind him in fourth when landing a conditions event at Newcastle last month, but the latter, who has rattled off back-to-back successes since then, is entitled to close that gap back on revised terms. However, preference is for THE BELL CONDUCTOR. Paul Midgley's sprinter, who is unbeaten on the all-weather, has progressed through the ranks in recent starts and he's fancied to continue his ascendency this evening.
Prediction : 1st The Bell Conductor 2nd Alligator Alley 3rd Fine Wine

Not many can confidently be ruled out but BENEFICIARY gets the nod in the hope that the first-time cheekpieces can prompt an improved effort from the Karl Burke-trained gelding. He has fewer miles on the clock than any of today's rivals and, given that he was well punted last time out, expectations may once again be high. Murbih was just behind the selection that day and is dangerous to rule out, while Brandy Station and The Tron are also considered.
Prediction : 1st Beneficiary 2nd Murbih 3rd Brandy Station

AIMING HIGH has run well when fresh before and, as she has scope to improve on the all-weather, David Simcock's filly has to be of interest on her Tapeta debut. She won from this mark in a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster last May and, assuming her stamina holds out over this additional furlong, she could be hard to beat. Mille Miglia is just 3lb higher than her Kempton win last time out and is respected, while Nuble also appeals on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Aiming High 2nd Mille Miglia 3rd Nuble
