UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

DESTINADO has been a revelation since joining the James Owen stable and, but for hanging left over this trip at Wolverhampton, he may have gone a lot closer on his latest start. The six-year-old has a first-time visor applied and is taken to have too much for the veteran International Law, as well as Private Bryan, who was narrowly denied at Chelmsford last time out. Two Rivers and Velvet Vulcan are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Destinado 2nd International Law 3rd Private Bryan

SIEMPRE ARTURO improved significantly from his first to second start when scoring impressively at Chelmsford last month, and the step up in trip can eke out further improvement as he looks to follow up under a 7lb penalty. Despite being unfancied in the betting, Alrazeen shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut at Kempton, while Didactic Patrick is another to consider if bouncing back to his Lingfield form.
Prediction : 1st Siempre Arturo 2nd Alrazeen 3rd Didactic Patrick

DAAFY arrives in good nick following a taking success over C&D recently and there might be plenty more to come from Derek Shaw's charge off a mere 3lb higher mark. Bobby Joe Leg arrives with similar claims after his success at Newcastle, whereas Back From Dubai has been knocking on the door of late but is winless since last June.
Prediction : 1st Daafy 2nd Bobby Joe Leg 3rd Back From Dubai

CAVERN CLUB was last seen finishing down the field in a valuable handicap at York in October and the drop back in trip appears likely to yield an improved performance from Marco Botti's gelding. Qaasid produced a consistent level of form in the early part of 2023 and he has to be respected on his first outing since July. Valsad and Tenerife Sunshine are others capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Cavern Club 2nd Qaasid 3rd Valsad

He's An Angel bounced back after a couple of below-par displays to score at Wolverhampton on his latest start. However, a 5lb penalty might be enough to stop him from following up and the vote, therefore, goes to HIGHER LAW. First-time blinkers seemed to offer some improvement when third at Wolverhampton last time and the four-year-old, who is 1lb well-in at the weights, has every chance of shedding the maiden tag. Miss Calculation and Toptime appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Higher Law 2nd Hes An Angel 3rd Miss Calculation

CATESBY took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and this may be a decent opportunity for the seven-year-old to get his head back in front, especially being 1lb above his last winning mark. Cubanista may benefit from the extra furlong on this occasion based on recent performances, while the shortlist is completed by Trulie Good.
Prediction : 1st Catesby 2nd Cubanista 3rd Trulie Good

KATS BOB won an apprentice race over C&D nine days ago and the six-year-old is hard to oppose as he can race off the same mark here. That said, Dandys Derriere was also successful on his most recent outing and has to be of interest as a result, although a 5lb rise for that win is a slight concern. Others to note are Phoenix Beach and Rogue De Vega.
Prediction : 1st Kats Bob 2nd Dandys Derriere 3rd Phoenix Beach

In a moderate event marginal preference is for WARMING, who was not disgraced when third on her handicap debut over 6f at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. Lady In Havana was the beaten favourite in that contest, but it is far too soon to be writing her off based on previous performances. Hearitfortheboys edges out Relentless Warrior to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Warming 2nd Lady In Havana 3rd Hearitfortheboys
