UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Be Here Now kept hitting the crossbar towards the end of his first campaign but has gained just reward for his consistency this term, showing excellent resolution to complete a Newcastle/C&D brace. His hat-trick plans could be scuppered by CLOUD KING, who was backed as if defeat was out of the question on his handicap bow over track and trip and although his supporters were made to sweat a bit, he overcame a troubled passage to score with plenty up his sleeve. Torvar should be happier back at the minimum trip, and Front Gunner warrants consideration too.
Prediction : 1st Cloud King 2nd Be Here Now 3rd Front Gunner

There was a good word for AMERJEET prior to his Wolverhampton introduction and although he ultimately let down odds-on backers, there was enough encouragement to take from his one-length third to suggest that a race such as this should be well within range. Addictive also shaped like an imminent winner when runner-up at Chelmsford, especially considering he was the victim of interference. The Man, a 145,000-pounds half-brother to a Listed-winning juvenile, is the most interesting of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Amerjeet 2nd Addictive 3rd The Man

HIGH ORDER bumped into a smart prospect on debut and confirmed the promise of that second placing when third at Newmarket's recent Craven meeting. The son of Frankel is expected to relish the extra quarter-mile he encounters here and can make it third-time lucky. Emaculate Soldier almost sprung a surprise over C&D on his return from the sidelines and certainly won't be sent off anywhere near odds of 50/1 now. He is the logical threat, unless newcomer Dancing Highlander is anything out of the ordinary.
Prediction : 1st High Order 2nd Emaculate Soldier 3rd Dancing Highlander

Alan King may be just the type to improve new recruit SMART CHARGER, who is best judged on his penultimate effort at Kempton over 1m3f when keeping on well for second behind a subsequent winner. The four-year-old is narrowly preferred to the unexposed Spring Chorus and Pierrefonds, who should be suited by dropping back in trip. Camacho Man and Red Dwarf are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Smart Charger 2nd Pierrefonds 3rd Spring Chorus

EVA ROSIE has got closer to breaking her duck with each start this year and she must hold every chance if building upon a narrow defeat over this distance at Newcastle last month. Stella Barclay's filly has competed off higher marks in the past and may have too much for Masham Moor (first) and Van Zant (second), who were only separated by a neck over C&D recently. Fourth in that contest was Specialist View, who remains open to improvement after just five career outings.
Prediction : 1st Eva Rosie 2nd Van Zant 3rd Masham Moor

Narrowly denied over C&D last time out and a winner here in January, COPPER MOUNTAIN looks the one to beat on her eighth start of what has already been a busy year. Makalu arrives with similar claims after scoring over track and trip last month, while Amaysmont has yet to strike for trainer Kevin Frost but is now a massive 25lb lower than his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Copper Mountain 2nd Makalu 3rd Amaysmont

Having kept on from a position in rear, MAYO COUNTY posted a respectable third on her handicap bow at Newcastle last month. A 1lb drop in the ratings can only help Julie Camacho's filly and this looks a suitable opportunity for a breakthrough victory. The biggest threat may emerge from Notion In Motion, who produced his best effort to date when a staying-on third over 6f at Gosforth Park recently. Khamsin should appreciate this drop in class.
Prediction : 1st Mayo County 2nd Notion In Motion 3rd Khamsin

CHURCHELLA put a disappointment at Chelmsford behind her when regaining the winning thread over C&D. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for the four-year-old and she's fancied to follow up. Two Past Eight has been knocking on the door in recent months and is expected to give another good account, while there is likely more to come from Young Endless, who seems to love it at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Churchella 2nd Two Past Eight 3rd Young Endless
