UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Fieldsman had Liv Lucky (second) and Stoic Syd (third) behind when going in by a length over C&D on his latest outing and the veteran is fancied to confirm that form. However, preference is for DAAFY, who put in a much improved display to fill the runner-up spot over a mile here last week and remains on the same mark. The seven-year-old is still feasibly treated and can go one better. Fircombe Hall completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Daafy 2nd Fieldsman 3rd Fircombe Hall

Jackson Street sets a fair standard after only being denied by a neck at Wolverhampton. He is likely to be bang there again but a chance can be taken on newcomer SOLOMON, who changed hands for 130,000 euros at the breeze-ups last year. The son of Siyouni is out of a Group 1 winner and is a half-brother to Melbourne Cup runner-up Soulcombe. Any market support for Queen Of Zafeen would also be of interest on her debut.
Prediction : 1st Solomon 2nd Jackson Street 3rd Queen Of Zafeen

BIG ZOU has produced two very solid efforts so far, including his half-length third over this trip at Lingfield last time, and he definitely looks to be going the right way. The son of Zoustar seems to have been found a good opportunity and is well drawn. Sovereign Knight was one place behind the selection on his debut and could take a step forward, while Perfectly Timed is an interesting newcomer to watch in the market.
Prediction : 1st Big Zou 2nd Sovereign Knight 3rd Perfectly Timed

There would be few more deserving winners than Character Testing, who has occupied the runner-up spot on all four of his career starts. He might have to settle for minor honours once more, though, with preference for IFFRAAJ QUEEN. Amy Murphy's filly belied odds of 66/1 when a close-up second at Kempton in November, with the winner going on to run well under a penalty next time. Clear Storm made the frame at Lingfield recently and a similar effort would give her every chance.
Prediction : 1st Iffraaj Queen 2nd Character Testing 3rd Clear Storm

HAKU denied Nolton Cross in the dying strides at Wolverhampton last month and although the latter is marginally better off at the weights, Mark Loughnane's charge could be given an added boost by the application of first-time cheekpieces. Heathen is 2lb well-in having been narrowly denied over C&D last week. He merits the utmost respect, along with Valsad, who receives a welcome drop in class on his first appearance for the Jamie Osborne yard.
Prediction : 1st Haku 2nd Nolton Cross 3rd Heathen

Each of these must prove their stamina over this new trip, so only a tentative vote can go to IT'S NOT RISKY. Hugo Palmer's charge looked outpaced when finishing fourth over 1m2f at Lingfield just before Christmas but there are reasons to be hopeful that this extra furlong, and perhaps further in time, can bring out the best in him. Freds Mate finished a place behind him that day and must enter calculations, along with the consistent Rich Harry.
Prediction : 1st Its Not Risky 2nd Freds Mate 3rd Rich Harry

Although DOCTOR MOZART was unable to supplement his Wolverhampton victory, he lost little in defeat when third at Newcastle just six days later. Philip Kirby's four-year-old enjoys a 1lb drop in the ratings here and he's taken to regain the winning thread. Stallone was narrowly ahead of the selection last time out so must enter calculations, with Glorious Rio making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Mozart 2nd Stallone 3rd Glorious Rio

Katar has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to give another good account of himself. However, he is likely to be priced accordingly and it may pay to take a chance on SHE'S THE DANGER. The Roy Bowring-trained top-weight takes a marked drop in trip, but the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie and visor could draw enough improvement from her to get back on the scoresheet. Teresa Grace and Arzaak also warrant a second look.
Prediction : 1st Shes The Danger 2nd Katar 3rd Teresa Grace

TURNER GIRL likely found the drop to 1m2f against her at Chelmsford, but she ran with credit to finish a never-nearer third. A return to this distance should see Ed Dunlop's mare in a much better light and she looks the one to beat. Although De Vega's Warrior hasn't managed to get his head in front yet, the application of first-time blinkers may bring out the best in him. The five-year-old is feared most, ahead of the unexposed Barrel Aged.
Prediction : 1st Turner Girl 2nd De Vegas Warrior 3rd Barrel Aged
