UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Conquest Of Power has filled the runner-up spot in this grade on his last two starts and should give it another good go off a 1lb higher mark. However, the one to side with is AUTUMN ANGEL, who flew home to finish third over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and remains on the same mark. Fircombe Hall has been in good heart of late and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Angel 2nd Conquest Of Power 3rd Fircombe Hall

SEA ME DANCE successfully completed a double at Lingfield earlier in the month and she was put up 3lb for that victory. The daughter of Sea The Stars takes a step up in grade now, but that is unlikely to stop her from going in again. Aqwaam was only denied by just under two lengths in a stronger contest than this over C&D last time and has to be considered off the same mark, while Smart Champion can fight it out for the minor money after his third at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Sea Me Dance 2nd Aqwaam 3rd Smart Champion

LADY IN HAVANA justified favouritism on her nursery debut over C&D earlier in the month and a 5lb rise for that success is unlikely to stop her from taking another step forward. Alibi Warning caught the eye when fourth behind the selection on that occasion and has to be respected with the handicapper having left her mark alone. She is capable of reversing form with Badosa (second) and Rust E Boy (third), with the pair capable of being in the mix once again.
Prediction : 1st Lady In Havana 2nd Alibi Warning 3rd Badosa

STONE OF DESTINY returned to winning ways here last Friday, when overcoming traffic problems in the process, and the eight-year-old is capable of backing that performance up, despite being 2lb wrong when factoring in his penalty. Rose King has been running consistently well since returning from a break in October, while Khabib and Twilight Madness appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Stone Of Destiny 2nd Rose King 3rd Khabib

Yorkstone is expected to bounce back following a spin over hurdles at Wetherby last month, having won twice on turf at Doncaster and Ayr earlier in the year. The vote, though, goes to PAVLODAR, who had excuses when disappointing at Chepstow in September and, having been freshened up ahead of his debut for Mick Appleby, this may be the time to catch him. Tea Sea and Urban Road are also likely to enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Pavlodar 2nd Yorkstone 3rd Tea Sea

KHATHAK is only 1lb higher than his recent close-up second over a mile at Newcastle and compensation could await the four-year-old if proving as effective on his return to 7f. Embarked's Kempton victory in September has worked out well, although a 9lb rise in the ratings will certainly make life tougher for James Fanshawe's gelding. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from fellow in-form rival Bowood.
Prediction : 1st Khathak 2nd Bowood 3rd Embarked

Arika offered something to work with when fourth on his reappearance in a maiden at Wolverhampton earlier this month and the son of Speightstown warrants consideration on his handicap bow. Preference, however, is for THAPA VC, who bounced back to form when third at Lingfield recently and a 1lb drop in the ratings is likely to help. Shaw Park and Wilde And Dandy also warrant a second look.
Prediction : 1st Thapa VC 2nd Arika 3rd Shaw Park

INDIE SKIES posted a respectable second at Kempton recently and the three-year-old must hold every chance off a 3lb lower mark on this quick turnaround. Little Red Dancer has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to make her presence felt once more. Alan Brown's filly is likely to be the main threat ahead of Tom Tulliver, who was far from disgraced on his return here earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Indie Skies 2nd Little Red Dancer 3rd Tom Tulliver
