UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Bigger Than Giga has a 2-3 record on the all-weather but she wasn't ever involved last time out on the turf at Newmarket when beaten 25 lengths into 13th. She can do a lot better on this surface and may prove the biggest danger to CRIMSON SPIRIT. He got off the mark in a good maiden at Epsom last month when tried over this trip and, if he takes to the all-weather, he could win on his nursery debut. Dubai Hills and Up The Jazz can also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Crimson Spirit 2nd Bigger Than Giga 3rd Dubai Hills

Irish trainer Johnny Levins sends Shawaamekh here looking to land the prize and, after second places on both starts this season, a market watch may help to define his chances. Richard Hannon is in amongst the winners lately, and TAHITIAN PRINCE added to those numbers with a win at Chelmsford for his fourth success on the all-weather. He has won off higher marks in the past and could go well again here, while Aphelios is another to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Tahitian Prince 2nd Shawaamekh 3rd Aphelios

Kingmania has only been here once, winning by half a length in April off 3lb lower, and she could surprise a few. With the Rod Millman horses in good form it was no shock to see BILLY MILL winning at Newcastle last month and, if Saffie Osborne can produce him fast and late again, an added 3lb from the handicapper may not prevent a repeat victory. Baltimore Boy was beaten a little over a length in a better race at Kempton latest and he looks a major player, along with Cry Havoc.
Prediction : 1st Billy Mill 2nd Baltimore Boy 3rd Kingmania

Tolstoy could hardly have been more impressive when scoring at Brighton 10 days ago but a 5lb penalty for that success just gives the edge to AMAZONIAN DREAM. Rod Millman's gelding was only narrowly denied at Goodwood last week and the four-year-old can race off the same mark here. Nordic Passage is another recent winner to note, while Hierarchy and Gulliver complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Amazonian Dream 2nd Tolstoy 3rd Nordic Passage

DIAMOND BAY had plenty in hand when scoring at Wolverhampton last week and the five-year-old is hard to oppose as a result, despite a 5lb penalty. That said, the hat-trick seeking Sea Stone could give him plenty to think about, while similar comments apply to the consistent Cinnodin. Others who merit places on the shortlist are Mostly Sunny and Blazeon Five.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Bay 2nd Sea Stone 3rd Cinnodin

SPORTING HERO hasn't kicked on as expected following the promise of his novice victories as a juvenile. Gelded since his latest run, the son of Bobby's Kitten is given a chance to return to form, especially back on the all-weather with him being unbeaten on an artificial surface. Manila Scouse was progressing nicely until disappointing at York's Ebor meeting. The four-year-old has every chance to leave that performance behind him. Lil Guff, May Sonic and Never Dark complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sporting Hero 2nd Manila Scouse 3rd Lil Guff

SCAMPI didn't quite get home in the Ebor on his latest start and the drop back to 1m4f, which saw him succeed the time before at the Shergar Cup, presents him with a solid opportunity to add another valuable prize to his CV. Regal Empire also won on the same card at Ascot and makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a third course victory. Soto Sizzler has dropped to a fair mark and is respected, while any market support for UK debutant Percy Shelley would make him of considerable interest.
Prediction : 1st Scampi 2nd Regal Empire 3rd Soto Sizzler
