UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Gift Of Raaj was a shock winner in this grade at Newcastle on his latest outing and he is likely to be in contention once again off a 2lb higher mark. However, EASY EQUATION gets the vote after he produced a pleasing effort when third over C&D in October and he has since switched to the Charlie Fellowes yard. The five-year-old gelding remains on the same mark and could be the one to beat. Cold Henry is another to consider on his return to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Easy Equation 2nd Gift Of Raaj 3rd Cold Henry

TSUNAMI SPIRIT was seven lengths clear of the third when a neck second in a novice event at Catterick in October and he now makes his return to the all-weather on his nursery debut. The son of Invincible Spirit won at Kempton a couple of months ago and could defy a opening mark of 85. The main danger is Call Glory, who finished third over 5f here last time and could play a leading role off the same mark, while Flag Carrier warrants a market check on his first start in a nursery.
Prediction : 1st Tsunami Spirit 2nd Call Glory 3rd Flag Carrier

BILLYJOH was denied a run at the crucial stage when fourth at Chelmsford last month and that effort came in a tougher grade than this. The son of Mayson looks well treated on his current rating and it would be a surprise if he wasn't able to earn a second career victory. Sassy Belle just got up to win at Leicester in October and is an interesting contender on her first outing for the David Evans stable. Of the remainder, Beauty Choice makes the most appeal after his recent third at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Billyjoh 2nd Sassy Belle 3rd Beauty Choice

Both Clarendon House and Clearpoint are likely to prove popular following their recent Wolverhampton successes, but EXALTED ANGEL shades preference. Karl Burke's seven-year-old drops back into handicap company having hit the frame in a Listed event last time, and he looks more than capable from what is a workable handicap mark. Alligator Alley (third) is now 4lb better off with Clarendon House from their meeting last month and that could see him close the gap.
Prediction : 1st Exalted Angel 2nd Clarendon House 3rd Clearpoint

Cabeza De Llave made the frame at Chelmsford last time and his turn might be near, but a chance is taken on DARK CRUSADE. The unexposed son of Camacho posted a series of solid efforts on the turf over the summer and this switch to an artificial surface might bring about further progression. Victors Dream appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dark Crusade 2nd Cabeza De Llave 3rd Victors Dream

Whatawit was on target over 1m4f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and he must be taken seriously once again, but A GIFT OF LOVE receives 15lb from the former and is preferred, having improved to finish second at Newcastle last time. Ya Hafhd made her debut in an above-average Newmarket novice in the summer and she could be involved following an absence, while Dynamiste is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st A Gift Of Love 2nd Whatawit 3rd Ya Hafhd

Bristol Hill has a chance at this level, while Latest Edition is still of low mileage and, having proven her stamina when tried over 1m4f last time out, she rates as a player. Nevertheless, this could be a good time to side with KHANGAI, who was doing his best work at the finish when second at Chelmsford last time. With the tongue-tie and blinkers combination retained, he can go one place better.
Prediction : 1st Khangai 2nd Bristol Hill 3rd Latest Edition

HILL STATION emerged triumphant over 1m4f at Lingfield eight days ago and, given he is due to go up 1lb in future handicaps, he is a strong contender under the 5lb penalty. Fellow last-time-out winner Lochnaver is feared most, with the return to this distance not expected to pose any problems. Jumeira Vision, a winner over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start, can also go close.
Prediction : 1st Hill Station 2nd Lochnaver 3rd Jumeira Vision
