UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Point-to-point winner Touch Tight ran well in third over C&D last month and races off 3lb lower here, while Young Wolf gets his ground and has won off much higher marks, though they were back in 2020 and he needs to bounce back to nearer that level. Both can get involved, but SHARP NOTE won a shade cosily at Newton Abbot on only her second start over fences and if she continues to progress, she may follow up in this field with Michael Nolan keeping the ride.
Prediction : 1st Sharp Note 2nd Touch Tight 3rd Young Wolf

Marajman has been in good from recently with a win and a second at Market Rasen before unseating at the same track and he could go close with a clear round, but preference is for unknown quantity CHITCHAT SALLY. An Irish point-to-point winner having her first start for the Laura Morgan yard, a mark of 87 for her handicap debut seems fair enough and she could go well. Stratford third Martalmix'jac is an interesting contender in first-time cheekpieces and upped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Chitchat Sally 2nd Marajman 3rd Martalmixjac

Wick Green steps up in class looking for his hat-trick after a win at Worcester was followed by a C&D success by four lengths, but an added 5lb from the handicapper may see him forced to settle for a place. GO ON CHEZ was only beaten a neck in a better race at Aintree in May on his first start since November and connections will be hoping he can improve enough to shrug off his 5lb rise in the weights. Landofsmiles might also have a say, despite falling at Perth on only his second start in the last 18 months.
Prediction : 1st Go On Chez 2nd Wick Green 3rd Landofsmiles

POTTERS BISHOP finished down the field on his racecourse bow at Huntingdon in May, but the five-year-old is expected to step forward from that initial effort and the booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye. Deploy To Spy represents a stable that do particularly well in this sphere and he commands respect on his first start. Others for the shortlist include Minella Miracle and Jormungandr.
Prediction : 1st Potters Bishop 2nd Deploy To Spy 3rd Minella Miracle

YOUNG MERLIN made the perfect start to life in the UK when scoring over C&D in comfortable fashion and the seven-year-old wouldn't need to improve on that display to follow up, despite giving 4lb and upwards to the opposition. Ve Day is likely to pose the main threat following placed efforts at Aintree and Stratford, with Lucky Draw and Book of Secrets appealing most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Young Merlin 2nd Ve Day 3rd Lucky Draw

PURE SURF was no match for an easy winner here when attempting to back up her Cartmel success under a penalty. The manner of her recent performances suggest another try at 3m is justified and the mare is capable of going one better today. She's All In Gold could have more to offer after her second over C&D last month, while Faerie Cutlass and Betty's Belle can fight it out for the places.
Prediction : 1st Pure Surf 2nd Shes All In Gold 3rd Faerie Cutlass
