UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

The application of first-time cheekpieces saw an improved performance from COVERT MISSION, who was beaten just under two lengths into third at Kempton earlier this month. A 1lb drop in the ratings could prove on the lenient side and a seventh career victory could be on the cards. Ballsbridge was too bad to be true when finishing sixth at Pontefract last time and a reproduction of his previous second at that same venue would make him a player. C&D winner Light Up Our Stars is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Covert Mission 2nd Ballsbridge 3rd Light Up Our Stars

TOP JUGGLER offered plenty to work with when fourth on debut at Chester earlier this month, particularly given his unpromising position in the rear. The Bungle Inthejungle colt can put that race experience to good use and a breakthrough victory likely beckons. The class-dropping Karl Carlston will find this much easier than last month's Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot and he's feared most, ahead of Invictus Gold.
Prediction : 1st Top Juggler 2nd Karl Carlston 3rd Invictus Gold

Having scored on his seasonal debut at Catterick in May, Hail Sezer merits respect reverting to the all-weather. A 3lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Geoffrey Harker's gelding, but ONE MORE WAVE could prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a solid third at Kempton and the application of first-time blinkers could be just what the doctor ordered. Rambuso Creek is also noted.
Prediction : 1st One More Wave 2nd Hail Sezer 3rd Rambuso Creek

Not seen since a disappointing effort at Thirsk in May, but a respectable third over C&D earlier in the year, THUNDER ROAR looks the one to be with dropping significantly in grade. Tom Eaves getting back in the saddle is a big plus and he may have too much for unexposed course winner Johnny James, as well as Shaw Park, who is in the form of his life at present. Dark Side Thunder and Zero Carbon are expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Thunder Roar 2nd Johnny James 3rd Shaw Park

ALL GREEK TO ME produced a career-best effort when second over shorter at Wolverhampton last month, and the way he finished his race on that occasion gave the impression that he would be well suited by going up in distance. He gets that opportunity now and can break the maiden at the main expense of handicap debutant Bittalemon and Sun Dancer Girl, who has scored on two of her last three starts.
Prediction : 1st All Greek To Me 2nd Bittalemon 3rd Sun Dancer Girl

This can go the way of KILDARE LEGEND, who showed marked improvement from his first to second start when not beaten far into second at Pontefract earlier this month. Just over three lengths behind him on that occasion was the reopposing Yosemite Gold (third) making his debut, and James Ferguson's charge is taken to uphold that form. At Vimeiro has yet to put it together in six starts, but he was thought good enough to contest the Lingfield Derby Trial.
Prediction : 1st Kildare Legend 2nd Yosemite Gold 3rd At Vimeiro

MAKE ACLAIM made a respectable start to his racing career when finishing second at Haydock last month. Grant Tuer's inmate is entitled to build on that opening bid and, if proving as effective on Tapeta, he could take all of the beating. The main danger is Legend Of Kings, who arrives on the back of a solid third at Redcar, while market support for the returning Eavestone would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Make Aclaim 2nd Legend Of Kings 3rd Eavestone

HEAT OF PASSION posted her best effort to date when beaten just over a length into third in a maiden at Wolverhampton in February. The daughter of Dubawi looks just the type to excel now upped in distance on her handicap bow. Recent Stratford second Rogue King likely has more to offer reverting to the Flat and James Owen's gelding isn't taken lightly. Capla Mojo may fare best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Heat Of Passion 2nd Rogue King 3rd Capla Mojo
