UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

There can be little doubt that Hit Mac has the ability to win another race of this nature and his quick reappearance after a respectable fourth at Lingfield on Monday is taken as a hint that he can be expected to go well again. However, NELLIE FRENCH edges preference on these terms and, with regular partner Phil Dennis live to her quirks, the six-year-old is fancied to gain an overdue success. The Tron and Toptime are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Nellie French 2nd Hit Mac 3rd The Tron

As a half-brother to Irish Derby and St Leger winner Hurricane Lane, it's likely that higher expectations are held of SWEET WILLIAM at some stage. He showed ability in both starts as a three-year-old and he looks to have been found an ideal starting point for his return. Al Asmakh has a fitness edge and is dangerous to underestimate, while Banderas and Saint George also appeal and are recommended as shortlist material.
Prediction : 1st Sweet William 2nd Al Asmakh 3rd Banderas

Dubai Jeanius quietly racked up a five-timer over various trips here over the last few months and is respected back at his favourite course. However, he's also gone up 24lb in the handicap since January and arguably faces his stiffest test to date. With that in mind, it might be worth chancing that KAARANAH can find more now he's tried in a hood and dropped back to what might prove to be his optimum distance. Vaccine and Athmad are noted too.
Prediction : 1st Kaaranah 2nd Dubai Jeanius 3rd Vaccine

Placed on three of her four outings last year, MUBHIJAH looks just the type to improve at three and the step up to a mile is another plus. The daughter of Shamardal is narrowly preferred to Urban Decay, who showed plenty when runner-up on her debut at Kempton in November. Sea Me Dance is another to consider having placed on both starts last season.
Prediction : 1st Mubhijah 2nd Urban Decay 3rd Sea Me Dance

Now that the penny has dropped for CREME DE CACAO after a convincing win at Chelmsford last month, Roger Varian's filly can follow up from feasible opening handicap mark of 71. An eye-catcher on her first run for new connections at Kempton, In The Giving should have plenty more improvement forthcoming, while Nuthatch and Tondeuse can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Creme De Cacao 2nd In The Giving 3rd Nuthatch

Giselles Izzy was only narrowly denied over C&D on her most recent outing in February and must enter calculations off 1lb higher. However, AUTUMN FLIGHT was a game winner over this trip at Lingfield last month and narrowly shades the vote, despite having to shoulder a 4lb penalty. Shining Crystal reverts to handicapping and adds further spice to the race.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Flight 2nd Giselles Izzy 3rd Shining Crystal

A facile winner over C&D last month, it is hard to look past KISS MY FACE, especially given Harry Russell negates most of the gelding's 5lb penalty for that victory courtesy of his 3lb claim. He's taken to continue in a rich vein of form, but Huscari was a game winner over 2m at Lingfield on her latest outing and should not be taken lightly. Wannabe Brave completes the shortlist in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Kiss My Face 2nd Huscari 3rd Wannabe Brave
