UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

CINNODIN left it late when winning over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in February and with further progress possible now upped in trip, he's taken to repeat the dose today. Sexy Rexy appeals as the main danger having struck the woodwork at Wolverhampton last month, but he was also engaged to run at Chelmsford on Thursday evening. First-time blinkers could elicit improvement from Philos and he can't be left out of calculations, while any market support would have to make Red Bird of interest ahead of his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Cinnodin 2nd Sexy Rexy 3rd Philos

WARD CASTLE came with a late surge to defeat the reopposing Haven Lady (second) here last month. He escapes a penalty for that success and given Morgan Cole is able to claim her full 7lb this time around, Marco Botti's charge can confirm the form en route to another victory. Kitten's Dream remains on a fair mark and must be considered, along with the Ewan Whillans-trained Billy Bathgate.
Prediction : 1st Ward Castle 2nd Haven Lady 3rd Kittens Dream

H Key Lails was a decisive winner over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair, but a chance is taken on GOLDEN MAVERICK. He finished down the field in three qualifying runs over 6f, but this looks a more realistic assignment now stepping up in trip for this handicap debut and the booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye. Others to note include Equiami and Sundazed.
Prediction : 1st Golden Maverick 2nd H Key Lails 3rd Equiami

It was always going to be tough pitching BALALAIKA in a Listed race when she was last seen but the daughter of No Nay Never did better than the face value of her finishing position would suggest and she is a strong contender now back in a handicap. Mystic Pearl made good progress last season and is taken very seriously, while Gareeb is another going the right way and gets in lightly on her handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Balalaika 2nd Mystic Pearl 3rd Gareeb

It took 10 attempts for Spirit Of Bowland to get off the mark but he did it well and is respected in his bid to follow up last month's Newcastle success from just 2lb higher. He was also arguably an unlucky loser when he was short of room over C&D on his penultimate start, so is likely to again go well again. However, FAST DANSEUSE appeals more on these terms and edges preference based on her potential to improve over the trip. How Bizarre completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fast Danseuse 2nd Spirit Of Bowland 3rd How Bizarre

BANQUO showed ability in two starts as a juvenile and, as his pedigree suggests the switch to a synthetic surface shouldn't be too much of an issue, he looks worth chancing on his stable debut/first start since being gelded. Tasever has also undergone the same operation since he was last seen and is another with scope to develop further. Tyke strikes as the most appealing of the newcomers and is worth a market check.
Prediction : 1st Banquo 2nd Tasever 3rd Tyke

MOJEYRR showed promise when staying on late for third on his debut at Kempton last month and that suggested he can get off the mark on this occasion. The James Ferguson yard is going through a purple patch at preset and Stormy Denise must enter calculations on the back of a promising effort over further at Chelmsford. Of the newcomers, Harriet's Angel and Profit Given should be noted for market support.
Prediction : 1st Mojeyrr 2nd Stormy Denise 3rd Harriets Angel

This can go the way of CLOUD QUEEN, who ran a career-best when not beaten far at Lingfield on her handicap debut recently. The booking of Hollie Doyle should only aid her cause and she gets the vote ahead of veteran course winner Bobby Joe Leg and Hit Mac, who has long shaped as though he would relish a step up to this trip.
Prediction : 1st Cloud Queen 2nd Hit Mac 3rd Bobby Joe Leg
