UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Time For A Pint opened his account in pleasing fashion at Catterick last month and the seven-year-old may have more to offer. However, an 8lb rise in the ratings will demand more from him and it may be worth taking a chance on PUDDLESINTHEPARK. The combination of an 82-day layoff and less testing conditions could see Evan Williams' charge in a better light, with this drop in class likely to suit too. Ali Star Bert and Felton Bellevue are other viable alternatives.
Prediction : 1st Puddlesinthepark 2nd Time For A Pint 3rd Ali Star Bert

MY GIFT TO YOU has won over fences at Fakenham and over hurdles at this venue in recent months. A 5lb rise for the gelding's latest success looks far from insurmountable and a hat-trick could be in the offing. Last month's Hereford third File Illico finished behind a subsequent winner that day and he's dangerous to discount, while Cloudy Wednesday should prove more competitive on this return to chasing.
Prediction : 1st My Gift To You 2nd File Illico 3rd Cloudy Wednesday

ACT OF AUTHORITY made light work of a drop in class when securing a second victory over hurdles at Bangor in December. Although Olly Murphy's charge does have to shoulder a double penalty in this event, Dylan Johnston's 7lb claim could prove invaluable. Teorie was too free when only fourth at Musselburgh last month, but he may give the selection most to think about if settling better, with Tommie Gun completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Act Of Authority 2nd Teorie 3rd Tommie Gun

MINNIEMUM unseated Richard Patrick at the last at Catterick on her most recent outing and can put the record straight here. The Henry Daly-trained mare was well in command at the time and, given the handicapper still put her up 5lb, she looks to be the most intriguing option. The unexposed Clararose, who goes handicapping for the first time, is feared most, while Ya Know Yaseff is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Minniemum 2nd Clararose 3rd Ya Know Yaseff

Proven at this sort of level, ZWICKY has progressed this season and, based on his potential for further improvement now that he steps up in trip, the seven-year-old earns the vote. With stamina more proven than some, Diger Daudaie also enters calculations, while Ithaka hasn't enjoyed much luck in recent starts but has faced stiffer tests, so cannot be ruled out. The betting can guide to Myfanwy's Magic, who takes a big step up in trip here.
Prediction : 1st Zwicky 2nd Diger Daudaie 3rd Ithaka

Narrowly denied over this course and distance 16 days ago, HOBB'S DELIGHT could go one better if he copes with a 4lb rise imposed for that near miss. Fantomas also posted a solid effort when second over C&D when last seen and can go well on his first run since October. Matoury is unexposed as a stayer and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hobbs Delight 2nd Fantomas 3rd Matoury
