UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Now that the penny has dropped for BE HERE NOW after scoring from a subsequent winner at Newcastle last month, the son of Oasis Dream should have plenty more to come off a 4lb higher mark. Mutasawi had the reopposing Soldiers Design half a length back in second when getting off the mark at Kempton and David O'Meara's charge can uphold that form as he makes his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Be Here Now 2nd Mutasawi 3rd Soldiers Design

Related to multiple winners, including the highly talented Salute The Soldier, DEAL MAKER sets the standard on the back of a taking debut success over C&D. A 7lb penalty will make life more difficult, but her experience could prove crucial and she should have enough to see off Chilly Breeze, who is out of a half-sister to Chesham winner Holloway Boy. David Loughnane is capable of readying one first time out and his Sonic Si cannot be ruled out as a son of top-class sprinter Advertise.
Prediction : 1st Deal Maker 2nd Chilly Breeze 3rd Sonic Si

HURT YOU NEVER may have had to settle for fourth at Newcastle last time out, but she had been in excellent form prior to that and is well capable of dominating this contest from on the pace, as she did plenty of times last season. Turned out again quickly after a highly encouraging second at Catterick last week, Mersea must enter calculations, while Alpine Girl may well be suited by dropping back from 6f.
Prediction : 1st Hurt You Never 2nd Mersea 3rd Alpine Girl

Road To Wembley has come into his own since going handicapping, winning both of his starts, and Richard Hughes' gelding must be respected under a penalty. Attila The Honey, who also shoulders a penalty having won over 1m4f here, can give another good account of herself, but GALACTIC CHARM is preferred. The son of Sea The Moon hit the crossbar on his return in a novice event at Wolverhampton and appears to be well treated judged on what he achieved last season, so could make more of an impact now in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Galactic Charm 2nd Road To Wembley 3rd Attila The Honey

An open event in which only a tentative vote can go to HOW IMPRESSIVE. Hugo Palmer's five-year-old could never get on terms with the leaders in a valuable sprint at Lingfield on Good Friday, but he will find things more to his liking here, with the return to further an added positive. Lion Tower struggled in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but he will appreciate being back on an artificial surface. Others to note include Another Investment and Mustajaab.
Prediction : 1st How Impressive 2nd Lion Tower 3rd Another Investment

SAVVY BRILLIANCE is on a steep upward curve and having proven his stamina with a gutsy win over this trip at Wolverhampton, the progressive four-year-old is hard to oppose in his bid to complete a four-timer. Rab Havlin has been in the saddle for each of the gelding's three successes and, with his services retained, a 2lb higher mark is not insurmountable. The versatile El Borracho is feared on his return to the Flat, while C&D winner Churchella also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Savvy Brilliance 2nd El Borracho 3rd Churchella

WESTMORIAN has the ability to rule the roost in this company and on the back of a string of solid efforts, the five-year-old looks the one to be with. Gulliver is still a very capable sprinter who can never confidently be ruled out, especially while he is on a competitive handicap mark. Airshow and Whenthedealinsdone are a couple of other each-way players who can make this interesting, for the minor honours at least.
Prediction : 1st Westmorian 2nd Gulliver 3rd Airshow
