UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

The veteran Zillion would have a strong chance based on his peak turf form, while Destinado won over C&D on his penultimate start and is not ruled out, despite being unable to follow up off this mark back here. However, this can go to REAL TERMS, who was a respectable third in a deeper race over 1m4f here on Tuesday and, with Brandon Wilkie easing the burden of top weight by 5lb, this shorter trip can put the mare back in the limelight.
Prediction : 1st Real Terms 2nd Zillion 3rd Destinado

JUNGLE JIM, the only horse with an official mark, can play the leading role in what is an ordinary maiden. David Evans' three-year-old, who can make the running, boasts previous C&D experience and, from stall one, could be hard to peg back if breaking sharper than last time. Miss Stormy Night can go well if responding kindly to the first-time hood, while New Image is an obvious contender, despite the absence. Damisa is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Jim 2nd Miss Stormy Night 3rd Damisa

ENOLA GREY has thrived during a busy winter and is a strong fancy to gain a fourth victory of her campaign. Gemma Tutty's filly struck over 7f at Wolverhampton on Monday and having won with a fair bit in hand that day, the 5lb penalty is not off-putting. The consistent Measured Moments is well worth a betting check on her first run at this venue, while Biplane is a C&D winner to consider, despite looking a little high in the weights.
Prediction : 1st Enola Grey 2nd Measured Moments 3rd Biplane

Despite pulling hard, Notre Dame managed to score by half a length at Chelmsford last month and has only been put up 2lb, so she has to be respected. However, she could come out second best to SNEAKY BLINDER, who showed huge improvement on his handicap bow to finish second at Chelmsford, his first appearance since undergoing a gelding operation. Tom Ward's charge is just 1lb higher and is taken to go one better. Quantum Force is also a player in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Sneaky Blinder 2nd Notre Dame 3rd Quantum Force

CUBANISTA finished a close-up third in a track-and-trip handicap last week and that performance gives him a big chance in this contest. The five-year-old has been knocking at the door recently and he looks to have been found a good opportunity. Doves Of Peace has also been running to a solid level in handicap company so he has to be considered. Kraken Diamond could have a say based on his second at Kempton two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Cubanista 2nd Doves Of Peace 3rd Kraken Diamond

Now that the penny has dropped for ROGUE DREAM after a relatively comfortable success over 7f at Kempton, Jack Jones' filly should be able to handle the drop in trip and can follow up off 3lb higher. Handicap debutant Dame Darcey showed a hint of promise when fourth at Chelmsford last time out, while Red Troop is another to consider on the step up in trip off what looks a feasible opening mark.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Dream 2nd Dame Darcey 3rd Red Troop

BLUE COLLAR LAD got off the mark for new connections with an easy victory at Wolverhampton recently, and a 7lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from going in again. Vitalline did it well when scoring at Chelmsford and should be thereabouts, along with the consistent Sassy Redhead and Savannah Smiles, who arrives on a hat-trick.
Prediction : 1st Blue Collar Lad 2nd Vitalline 3rd Sassy Redhead
