UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

BIG BEE HIVE arrives here having won three of his last four starts and a 5lb rise for the most recent of those victories at Cartmel may not be enough to stop him in this company. Dusautior is an obvious threat following his success at Bangor in April, while Annie Wicks and Prince Cleni are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Big Bee Hive 2nd Dusautior 3rd Annie Wicks

WAY OUT unseated his rider when favourite at Fakenham when last seen, but the seven-year-old can be given another chance based on his previous second at Warwick in May. Hyland contested some very competitive handicap hurdles last season and should not be underestimated on his chasing bow, while Itso Fury edges out Party Business and Mahons Glory to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Way Out 2nd Hyland 3rd Itso Fury

A respectable fourth over C&D last time out, where errant jumping cost him, ABAYA DU MATHAN looks the one to be with dropping in grade, having scored comfortably at Warwick in April off 3lb lower. Minella Choice has yet to get it together over fences but remains unexposed, while Neigh Botha wasn't beaten too far when switching to hurdles at Newcastle when last in action.
Prediction : 1st Abaya Du Mathan 2nd Minella Choice 3rd Neigh Botha

SANITISER may still be a maiden through eight starts over hurdles, but recent efforts at Hereford and Huntingdon suggest that he may be about to change that. Conditions are in his favour once again and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of promising Chepstow third Dog Fox and City Of Ruins, who must be monitored for market support on his first run for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Sanitiser 2nd Dog Fox 3rd City Of Ruins

CHANCYCOURT still looked to be going well when falling three out at Ffos Las on his handicap debut recently, and Fergal O'Brien's charge may be able to gain compensation back in maiden company. Electric Jet would have strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Fontwell, while Matchadam is interesting on his hurdles bow having shaped well in a bumper at Hereford last October.
Prediction : 1st Chancycourt 2nd Matchadam 3rd Electric Jet

BETHPAGE completed a brace of handicap victories when winning at Ludlow last month and Emma Lavelle's progressive mare can bring up the hat-trick off a 4lb raised mark. Trump Lady, a comfortable winner at Newton Abbot last time out, appears to be the main threat, while Culligran, who was no match for an emphatic victor at the same venue 22 days ago, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Bethpage 2nd Trump Lady 3rd Culligran

MRS TABITHA bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Sedgefield last month, and the lightly-raced five-year-old is fancied to get back in the winning groove nudged up 2lb in the handicap. Blow The Budget found improvement at Market Rasen on her first start following wind surgery and she can throw down another stern challenge, along with Mays Hill, who made a pleasing return to action 19 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Tabitha 2nd Blow The Budget 3rd Mays Hill

A mistake at the business end of the race put paid to HOBB'S DELIGHT's chance at Cartmel last time out, but Neil Mulholland's C&D winner can get back on track off an unchanged mark. The Wise Traveller was no match for a runaway winner at Huntingdon last month but he should go well with Jamie Gambin taking 10lb off his back. Backinaction goes handicapping off what could be a competitive mark of 103 and he warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Hobbs Delight 2nd The Wise Traveller 3rd Backinaction
