UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Not beaten far over C&D last time out, where hanging left may have cost him in the final furlong, the in-form BIG NARSTIE can bounce back to winning ways on this occasion, with Luke Morris taking over in the saddle. A narrow winner at Newcastle over this distance on her penultimate outing, Intoxicata is a key threat, along with Sycamore, who remains on a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Big Narstie 2nd Intoxicata 3rd Sycamore

PASCAL'S PAL shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth on her debut at Kempton last month and with improvement expected, the daughter of Wootton Bassett looks to have an ideal opportunity of breaking the maiden. That may be at the main expense of well-bred newcomer Mleiha, who is a daughter of the stable's talented Listed winner Shumookhi. Duely Spiced and La Fleur Petrus are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Pascals Pal 2nd Mleiha 3rd La Fleur Petrus

MY SAND BOY posted his best effort to date when finishing third at Lingfield last month. Although the five-year-old is 1lb out of the handicap, he is still racing off a 1lb lower mark, which could be enough to help him open his account. Sienna Breeze might prove dangerous if breaking better, having lost a lot of ground when seventh at Wolverhampton on Monday. The James Owen-trained mare is feared most, ahead of Sparkling Spirit.
Prediction : 1st My Sand Boy 2nd Sienna Breeze 3rd Sparkling Spirit

HIATUS exacted his revenge on Kempton scorer First Company when trumping that rival to land the spoils over C&D last time out. There could be more to come from the Camacho gelding at this venue and he's taken to defy a 4lb rise in the ratings. The in-form Billyjoh likely has another victory in him off his current rating and is a viable alternative to the selection, while Northern Spirit cannot be ruled out if returning near to his peak.
Prediction : 1st Hiatus 2nd Billyjoh 3rd Northern Spirit

SASSY REDHEAD continued her fine form when striking by a half-length over this trip at Lingfield earlier in the month and she was only put up 2lb for that success. William Stone's filly is progressing well and can make it three out of her last four. May Remain was involved in a tight finish when second at Newcastle and could get into contention off a 2lb higher mark. Come On Girl has Luke Morris booked and might also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Sassy Redhead 2nd May Remain 3rd Come On Girl

TRUSTY SCOUT hasn't been beaten far into second on each of his last two outings, including behind a warm favourite at Kempton last time, and he is only 1lb higher now. The son of Gleneagles is achieving a decent level of consistency and looks a solid choice. Tortured Soul, who is two from three for the Tony Carroll stable, comes here after finishing a close-up third over 1m5f at Lingfield and should remain competitive off 1lb higher. Billy Bathgate completes the shortlist after his second at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Trusty Scout 2nd Tortured Soul 3rd Billy Bathgate
