UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

FAZAYTE completed a hat-trick in this sphere when defying a 4lb rise for a Market Rasen hurdles triumph at Sedgefield earlier this month. The eight-year-old's willing attitude is likely to stand him in good stead once more and he looks the one to beat. Tom Creen arrives in fine fettle having registered a double at the County Durham track recently, although the sharper nature of this course presents him with a different test. Somespring Special likely has better days ahead and she also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Fazayte 2nd Tom Creen 3rd Somespring Special

EURKASH offered plenty of encouragement when finishing a close-up second over a trip short of his best (2m4f) at Warwick. That was the nine-year-old's seasonal bow and any improvement for that and the extra yardage could make him tough to beat, with first-time cheekpieces also likely to help. Star Flyer posted a solid third on his chasing debut at Huntingdon and is feared most off 2lb lower. Auditoria and Sadler's Bay are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Eurkash 2nd Star Flyer 3rd Auditoria

Ned Cash displayed enough ability on his fifth-placed debut in a bumper at Warwick last season to suggest that he could land a race in this sphere. He makes most appeal of those with experience, but newcomer JUST LUCKY SIVOLA gets the nod. Paul Nicholls' four-year-old is a half-brother to a French Listed hurdle winner, and sustained support in the market would increase interest further. Lindy Reilly could fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Just Lucky Sivola 2nd Ned Cash 3rd Lindy Reilly

STRATTON OAKMONT showed plenty of promise when third over 2m5f at Warwick three weeks ago on his return from a spell between the flags. With the benefit of that run behind him, the seven-year-old could get the better of Mountain Leopard, who brings decent form to the table but hasn't been seen since May. Others to consider are Steal My Sunshine and Our Bill's Aunt.
Prediction : 1st Stratton Oakmont 2nd Mountain Leopard 3rd Steal My Sunshine

In an open event, a chance can be taken on ALLJANI, who was useful on the Flat over 6f/7f in Germany and she could be hard to beat if seeing out the trip here. Telepathique outran odds of 50/1 to finish second at Newbury on her hurdling bow and is likely to be in the mix, while Fortune Forever edges out Madame Pompadour to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Alljani 2nd Telepathique 3rd Fortune Forever

Having been given a chance by the handicapper, FERRYBRIDGE is fancied to to get his head in front for the first time in 12 starts. James Owen's charge has been dropped 6lb for his modest fifth at Fakenham and he now appears on a very tempting mark. Ring Of Beara is feared most having also been eased in the ratings, while Jack's A Legend is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Ferrybridge 2nd Ring Of Beara 3rd Jacks A Legend

HILL OF TARA has made the perfect start to life in handicaps, scoring at Ffos Las and Leicester by an aggregate of almost 24 lengths, and this looks a good opportunity to continue his winning sequence. Venetia Williams' six-year-old escapes a penalty for last week's stroll in a conditional jockeys' event and is very tough to oppose. Montregard might give him most to think about off a nice opening rating, while God's Own Getaway is also worthy of respect.
Prediction : 1st Hill Of Tara 2nd Montregard 3rd Gods Own Getaway
