UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

LUSITANIEN secured a comfortable victory at Worcester over an extended 2m on his latest outing and an 8lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Magic Mike was far from disgraced when third at Hexham last time and he should go well off a 1lb lower rating, while Uncle O continues to drop in the ratings and could get into contention.
Prediction : 1st Lusitanien 2nd Magic Mike 3rd Uncle O

SWAPPED won with his head in his chest at Southwell when making his first start for the Charles & Adam Pogson stable, which brought up the hat-trick for the son of Sinndar. He has been hit with an 11lb hike for that victory, but that could still underestimate his ability. The main threat is Tango Echo Charlie, who was a winner himself at Fontwell last time and he could get involved off 9lb higher, while No Regrets is another to consider on the back of his Hexham success.
Prediction : 1st Swapped 2nd Tango Echo Charlie 3rd No Regrets

MYSTIC MAN justified favouritism with ease over C&D last month but was hit with an 11lb hike for that success. However, considering the manner of that victory he could be well up to the task on only his second start for the Harry Derham stable. Dirk Gently filled the runner-up spot at Worcester last time and has to be considered off only 1lb higher, while Bensini is also of interest sporting first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Mystic Man 2nd Dirk Gently 3rd Bensini

DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE hand plenty in hand when getting off the mark at Worcester in May and the son of Kayf Tara is hard to oppose on his return to action. That said, Butch has also shown a high level of ability already and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Tzarmix is another with valid form claims, while Cheltenam De Vaige is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Destroytheevidence 2nd Butch 3rd Tzarmix

HEROSS DU SEUIL bounced back to form with a decisive victory at Uttoxeter a couple of weeks ago and he clearly sets the standard, despite a 7lb rise for that success. Redbridge Rambler has shown some promise in maiden events and could take a big step forward now switched to handicap company, while Dom Perry and Could Be Trouble should not be underestimated on their return to action.
Prediction : 1st Heross Du Seuil 2nd Redbridge Rambler 3rd Dom Perry

ELHAM VALLEY had plenty in hand when winning a selling handicap at Stratford last month and could well be up making a winning start for the John Cornwall yard. In truth, this doesn't appear to be a much tougher assignment for the six-year-old and there is a lot to like about his chances here. Feel The Pinch is respected off the same mark as when he won at Bangor in June, while Sergeant Wilson and Polyphonic are also shortlist material.
Prediction : 1st Elham Valley 2nd Feel The Pinch 3rd Sergeant Wilson

HAVEYOUGOTMYMONEY looked to have been revitalised by a wind operation and first-time cheekpieces when a close second over an extended 2m7f at Hexham last month. With the headgear retained, the five-year-old could make amends and go one better here. Royal Max is an interesting contender on his debut for new connections, while others to consider include Blazing Court and Catuaba.
Prediction : 1st Haveyougotmymoney 2nd Royal Max 3rd Blazing Court
