UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

JEANS MAITE wasn't for catching from the front over C&D last time out and a 3lb rise may underestimate Roy Bowring's charge as she looks to notch up a ninth career success. The selection goes particularly well at this track and she should have too much for The Defiant, who bounced back to winning ways at Chelmsford earlier in the month. Darlo Pride and C&D winner Sir Benedict are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Jeans Maite 2nd The Defiant 3rd Darlo Pride

This can go the way of TRADESMAN, who should be well suited by dropping back in trip having won two of his last three starts over this distance. The form of his stable is another plus and, off a mark of 75, he is narrowly preferred to the class-dropping Artisan Dancer, who also has a very consistent record over the trip. Chaos Control spent all of last year over hurdles and must be noted on his return to the level.
Prediction : 1st Tradesman 2nd Artisan Dancer 3rd Chaos Control

A well-bred son of Frankel and brother to Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral, CADOGAN PLACE should relish this trip on debut, and he is fancied to come out on top for his in-form connections. Related to a Listed winner of Pat Twomey's over further, Hidden Law is another to note first time out, likewise Grebastarky being a half-brother to the talented Watch Me. Of the two with experience, Infatuator stands out after a promising second on debut at Newcastle.
Prediction : 1st Cadogan Place 2nd Grebastarky 3rd Hidden Law

Suspicion confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when getting off the mark over a mile at Kempton last month. Ollie Sangster's colt has to be of interest on the back of that effort, but he may struggle to give 6lb to VIBRATO. The son of No Nay Never was back in fourth when making his debut on that occasion and, with that run under his belt, he may be able to reverse the form on these terms. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but King's Fountain is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Vibrato 2nd Suspicion 3rd Kings Fountain

LOUGH LEANE arrives here on the back of four wins this year and a 6lb higher mark than the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Nikovo also won on his most recent outing and is an obvious threat under a 5lb penalty. The unexposed Beau Gars cannot be discounted on his handicap bow, while Soames Forsyte and Win Win Power are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Lough Leane 2nd Nikovo 3rd Beau Gars

King Of York has been running consistently well this year and has to be on the shortlist following his 7f success here last week. However, marginal preference is for GREAT BLASKET, who has been running well in defeat of late and the application of first-time blinkers could bring about further improvement. Turbo Command edges out Big Narstie to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Great Blasket 2nd King Of York 3rd Turbo Command

SILVER TRUMPET stripped fitter for his reappearance fourth at Lingfield when running out a game winner on his second start in a handicap over 7f at Kempton last month. Nudged up just 2lb, the suspicion is that there is more winning to be done before the handicapper has his measure. Dangers are aplenty and headed by Super Hit, who was turned over at short odds at Wolverhampton last month, but this drop to 7f can help him settle better in the early exchanges. Havana Force dons cheekpieces for the first time on her handicap debut, so is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Silver Trumpet 2nd Super Hit 3rd Havana Force

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS scored with the minimum of fuss over 6f at Newcastle last week, and he can make light work of a 5lb penalty to bring up a March hat-trick. Westmorian arrives on the back of an excellent second over C&D earlier this month and he rates as the main danger to the selection off a 5lb higher mark, while the consistent One More Dream shaped as if this drop back to 6f will suit when finishing fourth over 7f at Newcastle latest.
Prediction : 1st Glamorous Express 2nd Westmorian 3rd One More Dream

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with CLIPSHAM LA HABANA, but it might just pay to do so. He weakened into third in a similar contest over C&D on his penultimate start, prior to finishing fifth most recently, but, sporting headgear for the first time off his lowest mark since 2022, he can get his head in front. Tyke finished last over 5f at Newcastle earlier this month, but he is the type to bounce back and is respected now over 6f, while Many A Star has been plying his trade in Dubai this winter and commands attention back on home soil.
Prediction : 1st Clipsham La Habana 2nd Tyke 3rd Many A Star
