UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

PREMIERSHIP has done very well since joining the Michael Wigham yard and dropping back in trip looks like the correct move, having won over this distance at Yarmouth on his penultimate outing. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he could have too much for Meng Tian and Amathus, who has won two of his last three starts. Others to note include Kalamunda, Lowick and Tacitus.
Prediction : 1st Premiership 2nd Amathus 3rd Meng Tian

RUN FOR THE SUN has shown more than enough in both career outings to suggest that she can get off the mark now, with the step up in trip expected to eke out further improvement. Cloudy Skye disappointed last time out but she had gone well prior to that, while Shakeela ran with credit on her racecourse bow at Doncaster. A costly purchase at the sales and closely related to a couple of smart sorts, Battle Queen looks to be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Run For The Sun 2nd Cloudy Skye 3rd Battle Queen

A well-bred sort by Invincible Spirit who cost a pretty penny at the sales, SPINTO SOPRANO went well for a long way before fading late on her debut at Salisbury last month. Plenty of improvement is expected on that effort and she can break the maiden at the main expense of Elegant Friend and Salamanca City, who didn't do herself any favours when slowly away at Kempton before running on late for fourth.
Prediction : 1st Spinto Soprano 2nd Salamanca City 3rd Elegant Friend

VULTAR sets the bar quite high based on the official ratings and could be hard to beat if he runs true to his opening mark of 83. He finished a close third behind a couple of useful looking fillies at Kempton last time and, with the winner of that race subsequently allotted a figure of 90, the hint is too big to ignore. Summer Of Love ran green on debut but is entitled to be wiser now, while well-bred newcomers Souffionne and Dolce Courage both warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Vultar 2nd Summer Of Love 3rd Souffionne

CLUB MANAGER, a half-brother to useful hurdler Taglietelle, has flourished since being upped in trip and, having finished full of running when winning over two miles at Nottingham last week, he is a live contender for further success under a 6lb penalty. Papa Ricco got up late over 1m6f here last month and can go well off 2lb higher, with the additional yardage not expected to be a problem. Wannabe Brave is also considered off 7lb lower than his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Club Manager 2nd Papa Ricco 3rd Wannabe Brave

Noteable is still low mileage and, having shown improvement since undergoing wind surgery in May, she could have more to offer. However, a drawn in stall 10 is a disadvantage and she also looks vulnerable under top-weight. With that in mind, previous C&D winner CONGRESS shades the vote. Jonny Peate got a good tune out of the selection when a close second at Newcastle last month and, off just 1lb higher, the three-year-old can go one place better here. The in-form Flavius Titus is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Congress 2nd Noteable 3rd Flavius Titus

ZING UP gained her first career victory at Lingfield last month following a string of consistent efforts and Tom Ward's filly, who was only making her fourth start on the all-weather, could have more to offer, despite a 3lb rise. Enchanted Night caught the eye when runner-up at Nottingham on Wednesday and she is respected along with Mehmo, who is 1lb lower than his last win at Beverley in July.
Prediction : 1st Zing Up 2nd Enchanted Night 3rd Mehmo

RODBOROUGH scored twice over C&D before filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle when going in search of a hat-trick. The return to this venue gives the daughter of Mayson an excellent opportunity to strike once again. Profitable Edge has been running consistently well this season and a drop in grade can aid her cause following her most recent effort at York. Starstriker is feared most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Rodborough 2nd Profitable Edge 3rd Starstriker

Lord Torranaga continues to hold his form well and another bold bid is expected. However, he is likely to be vulnerable for win purposes and the vote, therefore, goes to BLUE HAWAII. A winner when last seen on the level at Nottingham in May, the eight-year-old tasted defeat over hurdles soon after that success, but she has since been freshened up and may pick up where she left off in this sphere. Black Smoke and Spring Glow appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Blue Hawaii 2nd Lord Torranaga 3rd Black Smoke
