UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

ALI STAR BERT has proved a different proposition since being switched to fences last month, with good wins at both Uttoxeter and Chepstow, and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to complete a hat-trick. Rostello has slowly returned to some form and was last seen finishing third at Leicester. The combination of a 3lb drop and Cillin Leonard's 5lb claim should see him going close and he's feared most, ahead of Just A Deal.
Prediction : 1st Ali Star Bert 2nd Rostello 3rd Just A Deal

COASTGUARD STATION arrives in good form and a 1lb rise for his latest second at Doncaster in December is unlikely to prevent another bold bid from this unexposed chaser. Desque De L'Isle ran no race at Wincanton in January, but he won a class 2 event on his penultimate start at Ludlow the month before and shouldn't be underestimated on this drop in class. Joke Dancer is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Coastguard Station 2nd Desque De LIsle 3rd Joke Dancer

SHE'S A FINE WINE caught the eye when staying on into the places on her debut at Ayr and, with that experience under her belt, she makes most appeal. Daytona Beach is another who should have learned plenty from her first appearance on a racecourse when finishing fifth in Listed company at Market Rasen, and she isn't taken lightly. Any market support for point-to-point winners Sanda Rena and Kayf Hope would make them noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Shes A Fine Wine 2nd Daytona Beach 3rd Sanda Rena

An impressive winner on his last two starts, WHITE RHINO continues to go from strength to strength and a hefty 15lb rise for his most recent success may not be enough to stop him from going in again. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Hereford scorer Republican and Leading Theatre, who has not finished outside of the first two home in each of his last three starts.
Prediction : 1st White Rhino 2nd Republican 3rd Leading Theatre

EMILY WADE was an eye-catcher here last month when staying on from off the pace for third over shorter, and the step up in trip can see her get off the mark at the ninth time of asking. Similar comments apply to Valentine Getaway, who looks as though she will relish the rise in distance, while Paddy's Fancy is the only previous winner in the field so must be respected too.
Prediction : 1st Emily Wade 2nd Paddys Fancy 3rd Valentine Getaway

GET UP MUSH bounced back from a disappointing effort at Warwick when getting off the mark at Wetherby last month and the five-year-old, who drops back to the minimum distance, is expected to take another step forward. Joe Dadancer was no match for an easy winner at Lingfield when last seen, but he is capable of being in the mix along with Annaharvey Lad.
Prediction : 1st Get Up Mush 2nd Joe Dadancer 3rd Annaharvey Lad

HEADS OR HARPS produced his best effort over hurdles to date when fourth here at the end of January and the step up in distance on handicap debut appears to be in his favour. Walk In The Storm filled the runner-up spot on her most recent outing at Ffos Las and is respected off a 2lb higher mark, while the hat-trick seeking My Ticketyboo and Breizh Alko complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Heads Or Harps 2nd Walk In The Storm 3rd My Ticketyboo
