UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Point-to-point winner Matchadam made an encouraging start to his career under Rules when fourth at Hereford, while Caher Roes Den also struck between the flags and joined the Brookhouse team for 110,000 pounds after that success back in the spring. THE HAPPY CHAPATI doesn't have the advantage of previous competitive action, but he is a 78,000-pounds half-brother to former top-class hurdler The New One so is worth chancing on debut.
Prediction : 1st The Happy Chapati 2nd Matchadam 3rd Caher Roes Den

BY THE GRACE will have given connections plenty of encouragement with her second on debut on the turf track here back in May, and confirmed that promise when again making the frame on her Lingfield return. That proved her ability to handle an artificial surface and she is taken to break through. Storm Spirit is also adept on the all-weather because she was only just denied on her Newcastle introduction prior to a less inspiring Wetherby effort. The Secret Pearl's Warwick second entitles her to lots of respect too.
Prediction : 1st By The Grace 2nd Storm Spirit 3rd The Secret Pearl

Libby's official rating would give her obvious claims, but she is flattered by it if her runs since arriving from Ireland are a reliable indication of her current ability. Choirmaster, Brian's Jet and Chadlington Lad have similar marks and have experience of handicaps, but a chance is taken on DARK MYSTERY. The Ben Brookhouse-trained four-year-old showed up for a long way in a good Kempton contest last Christmas, and was last seen running fairly off a figure of 68 on the level.
Prediction : 1st Dark Mystery 2nd Brians Jet 3rd Choirmaster

SUPREMELY WEST has been a very progressive sort under Rules, winning five of his six appearances, and Dr Richard Newland's charge ticks plenty of the right boxes competing on these terms. Minella Choice is rated 18lb inferior to the selection over hurdles but the seven-year-old appears the chief threat, ahead of Jimmy Boy, who may be perked up by the application of a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Supremely West 2nd Minella Choice 3rd Jimmy Boy

WHIZZ KID shaped far better than the beaten distance suggested when fourth at Newbury last month and the seven-year-old looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to regain the winning thread. Sarsons Risk is a useful performer on the Flat and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the upwardly-mobile Russian Virtue, who was last seen springing a surprise in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle in October.
Prediction : 1st Whizz Kid 2nd Sarsons Risk 3rd Russian Virtue

CAPTAIN MORGS bounced back to form when second over fences at Huntingdon a month ago and Nicky Henderson's gelding is hard to oppose in a race of this nature. Punxsutawney Phil won a bumper on Tapeta on his debut at Newcastle back in 2021 and he should not be underestimated as a result, while Top Ville Ben completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Captain Morgs 2nd Punxsutawney Phil 3rd Top Ville Ben

GROZNI accounted for a useful rival when winning a bumper at Market Rasen back in May 2021 and he has gone on to have a successful career over hurdles and fences subsequently. The seven-year-old could make a successful debut for these connections, although Baron De Midleton and Gms Prince are more than capable of giving him plenty to think about.
Prediction : 1st Grozni 2nd Baron De Midleton 3rd Gms Prince
